Yes, it is officially September! Though the advertisers have been running the "back to school" clothing sales for what seems to be months. Many offices are transitioning back from their more lenient summer office attire policies. Instead of just dragging out the same fall clothes why not take advantage of some of the deals of the season?
I know what some of you are thinking…how can I afford to by myself new clothes this year with the state of the economy and school supplies lists increasing every year??
Here are some ways to treat yourself without racking up those charge cards
Check out online deal and coupon sites. If there is a discount code or printable coupon out there this site will have it: http://dealspl.us
If you're already purchasing an item from an online store see if adding another item for yourself will give you free shipping or put your total into a "coupon eligible" amount. Taking advantage of these promotions could enable you to get the additional item at little or no charge.
See if there are any store closing sales. The Bon-Ton in Latham currently has a going out of business sale, some items are 85% off, you can't beat that!
Or, if new clothes are still not in your budget there is always good will stores and sharing with friends and family. After all isn't this the most "green" way to go?
As the old saying goes…"Dress for the position you want" A few new work wardrobe items may be just what your career confidence needs!
