With the economy on the rebound, shopping trips are once again becoming

an indulgence for men and women alike. Responsible shoppers know to spend within their means, but shopping excursions can still be enjoyable even for those shoppers with limited budgets. The following are a handful of ways shoppers can make the most of their next shopping trips.• Employ the buddy system. Most

activities are made more enjoyable when friends are along for the ride, and shopping is no exception. Shopping with friends can make the trip more fun, and friends can offer their opinions. In addition, friends can discourage one another from spending beyond their means.

• Comparison shop. Many shoppers feel that fi nding a good deal is the most fun part of shopping. Anyone can walk in off the street and pay full price for an item, but savvy shoppers pride themselves on fi nding the best deals. Shoppers can start their comparison shopping even before they visit their favourite retailers, comparing online prices with the prices they are likely to pay in-store. Such research may also

unearth sales that are not heavily advertised, netting shoppers even more savings. Shoppers who fi nd items at thrift stores, are often the winners since the price is right, and these pieces have taken on a second life with someone new to enjoy them.

• Take advantage of store websites. Many retailers now have their own websites, which can net shoppers even more savings. Before heading out to shop till they drop, shoppers should look online for their favourite retailers. In addition to retailer websites, shoppers should check local newspapers and fl yers for sales and valuable coupons.

• Develop a plan. Once they have set aside a day for some retail therapy, shoppers should plan where they want to shop and make a list of what they need. Shoppers can still make some time for window shopping, but spending too much time gazing into store windows can cost shoppers time to purchase those things they truly need. Make a list of stores anyone going on the trip wants to visit, and then allow yourselves ample time to get what you need and gaze at what you want.

enhance your stylewith the perfect accessoriesRegardless of their fashion sense, many people realize that accessories can enhance personal style and provide the fi nishing touch to an outfi t. Whether it's an eye-catching necklace, a set of face-framing glasses or a hat to add an air of mystery, the key to a great accessory is fi nding pieces that work in concert. Pendant necklaces that only look heirloom quality, are easy to fi nd with a fair price tag these days. Many of these items help us transition our clothing well from the heat of

the summer to the cool, crisp days of autumn or vice versa, just with a few key pieces.Eyewear provides looks similar to those worn by some of the most celebrated men and women around the world but for a lot less money. Eyewear, to some, is essential to their personal style and refl ects this with a focus on comfort, fi t, fl attering colours, and great shapes.These elements blend together to create a timeless accessory to complete any look.

OUT WITH THE OLD

IN WITH THE CUTEST NEW STYLES FROM

The transition from college student or stay-at-home mom to full-time professional requires a number

of changes. Those changes include updating your wardrobe to give it a more professional feel. Clothing that’s acceptable for a jaunt to the store or a night out may not be appropriate for the offi ce.Just what constitutes a professional wardrobe has changed over the years, and the guidelines for such attire are no longer as fi rm as they once were. But it still can’t hurt to add some classic, professional pieces to her closet. While skirts and pantyhose may no longer be mandatory, dressing conservatively and cleanly in an offi ce environment is always a safe bet.In order to achieve a wardrobe transformation without breaking the bank, fashion experts advise adding separates to build around a base suit. Find a suit that is fl attering to your fi gure and make it a workplace staple. Then purchase coordinating pants, sweater sets, shirts, another skirt, and accessories that can be mixed and matched with elements from the suit to create different looks. If your budget allows, purchase another suit in a different colour so you can continue to build wardrobe possibilities.When selecting base pieces, opt for neutral colours of tan, gray, black, and blue so that these items can be worn repeatedly without being noticed. Accessories and blouses can offer pops of colour when necessary. A nice handbag or pair of shoes can quite easily add colour to an otherwise monotone ensemble.When selecting items from the rack, look for

those that fi t well but aren’t too constrictive or racy. Inquire with your new employer’s hiring manager or human resources department to fi nd out if the workplace has any restrictions on wardrobe. There may be employee guidelines, particularly in certain industries, such as law or education. If no such restrictions are in place, keep skirts to knee-length and avoid particularly low-cut tops. Save more revealing items for nights out with friends.Many employers have adopted dress-down days as perks for their employees. Although you may be invited to dress more casually, avoid dressing for a day at the beach or hanging around the house. Opt for trouser-style jeans that are free of rips and embellishments. If athletic shoes are allowed, make sure they are clean and not the pair you wear while tending to your garden. Avoid graphic T-shirts that feature potentially offensive or suggestive messages. In more conservative companies, dressing down may be opting for khakis instead of suits. It is important to know the difference.Women who are adding to their wardrobes can include these all-time business staples.• Classic black pump shoes• Crisp, button-down white shirt• Fine-knit sweater in a bright color• Camisole or shell in a neutral colour to

wear under blazers• Cardigan in black or white that can be

worn over tops or dresses• Fitted, sleeveless dress that can be paired

with a suit jacket or cardigan• Straight-hemmed skirt in a neutral colour• Flat-front black, gray and tan pants• Neutral coloured wool coat and a rain

jacketOver time, women can add to their wardrobes as budgets allow and they learn more about what is acceptable at their places of hire.

Thrift Stores provide a meaningful way to raise funds for the support of the

work of MCC. This work includes clean water projects in Africa, supplying food and medical aid in the wake of a tsunami, working with disabled people right here in our communities, and many other programs. By keeping all kinds of good reusable things out of landfi lls,

MCC is also playing a vital roll in helping protect the environment.

In order to keep cost at a minimum, MCC Thrift stores are operated mainly through the generous help of volunteers.

Thank you for supporting the work of MCC through your shopping and generous donations.

We talk about fi nding the right outfi t for an event, or for an important meeting for work…

then there are the bits of bling we hope to wear forever. From weddings to the everyday, jewelry can make all the difference in the fi nishing touches & properly caring for it can retain its lustre, beauty & value.• Examine all the prongs on settings, clasps & other components of the rings to make sure they are secure. Otherwise, pieces or stones could come loose & be lost during the cleaning process. If anything is loose, bring it to a jeweller for repairs.

• When cleaning, try soap & water fi rst before moving on to harsher chemicals if necessary. Soft, porous jewelry, such as opals, pearls & turquoise, should only be cleaned in this type of solution to ensure they look their best. Select a mild cleanser, like a gentle clothing detergent or dish soap. Add a few drops to two cups of warm water & quickly dip the jewelry. Use a soft, dry cloth to dry & buff, then lay gems fl at to air dry further. If stones need a little more elbow grease, use a soft-bristled toothbrush to scour gently.

• Ammonia also can clean jewelry quite effectively, but its aroma may turn people off. Diamond jewelry, in particular, can be soaked in one cup of warm water mixed with 1/4 cup ammonia for roughly 10 to 15 minutes. 

• For silver jewelry, use aluminum foil to clean tarnished silver. Line a tray with a piece of crumpled aluminum foil & place

your jewelry on the foil. Sprinkle a layer of baking soda over the jewelry, then pour boiling water over it. The tarnish will transfer from the jewelry to the foil. You may need to fl ip or move the jewelry around so all sides come in contact with the foil. Remove & rinse with water. 

• Many jewelry stores will clean jewelry free of charge, especially if couples return to the store where the rings were purchased. Some use high-pressured steam to loosen dirt & debris, while others use jewelry cleaning solutions.

• When jewelry isn’t being worn, it should be carefully stored inside a jewelry box or the box in which it was shipped or purchased.  Removing jewelry prevents scratching and keeps particles from lodging in the stones or setting.
