Good buys - anytime |
1. Buy everyday tights you know you will wear. Sheer tan tights are always good to give that bare leg look or to wear under jeans. Sheer blacks can add a bit of sex appeal for the office or a night out. And 60 denier black opaques are a must for the cold weather. Especially with the upcoming VAT hike it is worth stocking up on tights.
Don't forget the tan tights |
3. Don't assume that since you have been lured into the store by the bargains in the window, tights or anything else in the store is a bargain. Psychologically those headline savings from the window bias your view of all other reductions.
See your doctor? |
5.Don't take any notice of "reduced from". The tights may have been reduced from £15, but they still have a swirly pattern that makes you nauseous or are so ultra-shiny tan that they will make your legs look as if they are wrapped in sausage skins. Perhaps they are so reduced because they are so not in fashion.
6. Don't be forced into buying by "last day of sale" or "must end soon" signs. They play on the fact that you think you'll feel bad if you come back and the "bargain" tights are gone. If don't really want the tights now, you don't really want them. If they are gone later in the day, good old cognitive dissonance reduction will kick it and you will find you never wanted them
7. You are up at 4am to queue for whose killer heels, then miss them because some bitch kicks her way to them first, leave the store immediately. Otherwise you will buy "reduced" black and white stripey tights just to make your trip "worthwhile".
Too shiny? |
