Dear Budget Fashionista,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have gone on a weight loss program this year and have lost quite a bit of weight. I have no idea how to shop for a new wardrobe. Should I enlist a personal shopper to help me determine the best new wardrobe for me?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal shoppers can be enormously helpful \u2014 especially in an era where the entire concept has practically been reinvented. Historically, they\u2019ve always been fairly pricey. On the upside, you get exactly what you pay for in the form of miracle additions to your wardrobe that somehow seem absolutely perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So in a word: yes<\/em>, they\u2019re worth it, and it\u2019s a great idea. All the better if you can find one who won\u2019t break the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 places to find a personal shopper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are different ways to channel the expertise of a personal shopper, from focusing on an in-store specialist who can help you select items right there, or private concierges who devote their time to cultivating a closet full of new, stylish finds for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Woman<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It all depends on your sartorial needs. If you\u2019re just looking for a few basics, you might be comfortable consulting with someone in a store. Here are three stores to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anthropologie personal shoppers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From one-off outfits to entirely new wardrobes, the clothes at Anthropologie are designed to fit everything on your agenda. The stylists here take great pride in finding the right pieces for you, and they\u2019re happy to offer these services for free. You can book your appointment online\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macy’s personal shoppers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you want to refresh your entire wardrobe without spending a ton, Macy\u2019s is a great option. The chain’s My Stylist program provides you with the insider assistance you need to make wise, flattering choices \u2014 and you’ll get 20% off on your purchase through the service, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can get started by taking their revealing style quiz<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> before you schedule a session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nordstrom personal shoppers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At some point, you might need to find an outfit for a special occasion, or you may want to build a capsule wardrobe for work<\/a>, weekends, or vacation. The stylists at Nordstrom are available to help you find your perfect fit. You can connect with them online or on the phone to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re more comfortable in the digital sphere \u2014 and let\u2019s face it, so many of us are in the name of convenience \u2014 then you\u2019ll be delighted to learn that there are several reliable online options available, too. These services send you pre-selected clothes designed to meet your needs based on your style preferences. If you love them, keep them and pay a modified price, or send them back free of charge. It\u2019s genuinely that easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le tote<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Le Tote is a Budget Fashionista favorite<\/a> because it’s structured as a rental service vs. a purchase service. The classic membership at Le Tote will cost you $69 per month, and you are never obligated to purchase anything. If you like the clothes and accessories they send, wear them to your heart\u2019s content and send them back when you\u2019re ready. You can also hang on to the pieces you like and save up to 50% off the retail price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stitch fix<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Providing Stitch Fix with your measurements is the first step to cultivating a box that is tailor made to your tastes. They\u2019ll send you five pieces; you can choose a value for your clothes while filling out your profile. You have three days to determine if you want to keep anything, at which point you can send anything you don\u2019t want back at no charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trunk club<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This Nordstrom company takes pride in truly getting to know your style. You can order a trunk via mail based on your specific preferences, or visit one of their physical locations for a more personal experience. You determine how much you want to spend, and there\u2019s a $25 fee per box on top of that. You can keep what you like and return the rest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
