It can be hard for a single lady to maintain her style in a fly-away economy. Without the excess money to spend on shopping sprees at department stores, ladies now have to shop wisely. A woman's personal style can truly tell her story, so its important to purchase clothing that represents you well. I can usually go into a store with $20 to $50 and buy a complete outfit. I have bought a dress or a suit and a pair of matching shoes for under $50, at a department store. Whether I shop in lower end stores like Ross or Marshalls or higher end stores like Macys and Express, I can leave with cute pieces of clothing and extra money in my pocket. Feel free to challenge me if you are in disbelief. I have a natural gift for shopping that I take pride in, and I love the look on people's faces once the cashier says the total at the checkout line, after ringing up several outfits.
Ladies, if you want to stay competitive in this dating game, its essential to be able to stay fly and maintain that sexy swag. In order to stay fly, first and foremost you have to have confidence. You must be able to walk with your head high, regardless of how much money you make. A confident attitude really attracts others, whether your outfit is $50 or $5000. A woman with a very expensive dress on wouldn't necessarily attract as many men as a woman with a less expensive dress on, if the woman with the more expensive dress had a nasty attitude. Men feed off of confidence and positive energy. Without a confident approach and attitude toward life, your Vera Wang dress and pair of Christian Louboutin heels will not add to your level of attractiveness.
Another way to stay fly is to have a workable budget. Its important to be able to determine what you can actually afford without going into debt. You may have a $5000 credit limit on a credit card, but that doesn't mean that you can afford to charge $5000 worth of clothes and shoes. Your dress may be worth $500 but your net worth is only $5, which is the money left in your bank account after you purchased your Starbucks this morning. When you do meet the man of your dreams, you want to be able to keep him. One sure way to lose a man quickly is to be struggling financially. Even if a man is perfectly capable of taking care of you financially, he may wonder about your character if the shoes you wear are causing you to struggle to pay your rent.
Another way to stay fly in a fly away economy is to stay fit. The $1.00 hamburgers that you consume for lunch may pack the pounds on very quickly. Instead, $5.00 could be spent on salad or sandwich ingredients, which would equal the cost of cheap hamburgers, yet allow you to take in a lot fewer calories. This way, you can look and feel good about yourself! If your gym membership is running you too much, take advantage of a local walking trail, or purchase a fitness DVD from Walmart. When you get bored, purchase another one! A $5 fitness DVD tape once or twice a month as opposed to a $50 plus gym membership can add to your wallet and still subtract from your waistline.
Lastly, there is one common denominator with all men, and that is to have a woman who is able to cook their favorite foods. We are all familiar with the old saying that a good meal is the fastest way to a man's heart. Purchase a cookbook or two from Half Price Books, or a similar bookstore, and teach yourself how to cook a variety of entrées. When you do meet the man of your dreams, you will be able to impress him with your culinary skills. A comfy sofa, a bottle of wine and your home cooking will have that man under your spell in an instant! It is possible to stay fly in a fly-away economy, with a dash of confidence and a sprinkle of frugality and creativity. Oh, and let's not forget that sexy swag!
