The modern fashion enthusiast must find creative ways to balance resources and be  a successful  fashionista . There are many challenges to be juggled and overcome.

Here are some problems fashion enthusiasts face today and how you should solve them.

1. Providing return of value for purchased items. If you love big brands like I do with big ticket items- the return of value on said items must be tracked. Not only is it necessary to have an idea of what gives value to pieces you buy but it also provides more weight when purchasing additional pieces  from the same collection or designer.This insight is necessary because one day you will want to access the value of your wardrobe. So track everything. I also tend to clip and keep magazine pictures of photos where a lot of my pieces have been placed in editorials or photographed with celebrities. This adds value to the piece as well. Over all your return of value is your wardrobe data as to what you have of value in your wardrobe and what you need to keep or loose. As a conscious fashion enthusiasts measure the value of every dollar spent.

2. Teamwork makes the dream work. Some say fashion is both an art and science. This is true when working with sales people and shoppers at boutiques. For this reason in particular, I value sales people for their experience and connections – as they have more access to the elusive hard to find pieces. Also they are familiar with the inner workings of the brand they repersent. This experience helps to mitigate potential challenges and delays in acquiring the most coveted  pieces and looks. Communication is key to making this process work, they need to know your taste. This is so that they can send pictures of potential items you would likely like as well as alerts on great finds and pre-sales .Communication elevates a lot of stress and mis steps. As a bonus you are privy to some really good deals.

These Chanel  patent leather chain  boots and sliver distressed clutch were some of the seasons most sort after accessories  , which I was able to snag by the help of shoppers at the boutiques. Forget the lists.
