Finding Fashion at the Checkout Stand
It’s time to raise your fashion consciousness. Can you find fashion at the checkout stand of the grocery store? Here’s what to look for in choosing a fashion magazine.
Bigger is not necessarily better. The thickness of the magazine may simply reflect the large number of advertisements in the magazine. Fashion is a huge industry and covers not only clothes but fabrics, accessories and trends.
Buy targeted content. You want to pay for content and not just any content. Unless you are one of a very small minority of Americans, what’s trendy in next season’s moose-hide mukluk fashion is not going to be very helpful to you. Don’t just read the headlines. Take the time to scan the article itself. Is there information that covers your particular interest. If not, pass on it.
Look for several articles in the same magazine. If there is only one article that addresses something of interest to you, you may want to keep looking. That one exciting article is hardly worth the entire cost of this month’s publication.
Become familiar with the magazines. This doesn’t have to cost anything. Well, actually you already pay for it. Most public libraries have a selection of magazines that you can peruse at your own leisure. Over a short period of time you will discover which magazines are slanted toward your personal reading pleasure.
Now you can approach the checkout stand with confidence. No more holding up the line trying to decide between fifteen different monthlies. You know what you like and how to discover it quickly. So go be a fashionista!
