The time is right for you to bid farewell to the world of disposable dressing and sign up to the investment wardrobe. Shopping in the credit crunch can be fun and focused; don’t think of it as depriving yourself.

“This is the year to invest in an image consultant,” asserts Robyn Mooney, buyer for the iconic Quinns in Christchurch. An image consultant who can go through your wardrobe, cull and sell the things that aren’t working. Then you can invest that money in that one really good piece. Look for a perennial, a good designer piece, that you won’t get rid of next season. In Robyn’s 20 years in the fashion business she’s learned it is not the safe boring pieces that get the outings season after season, but the fabulous highlight pieces. With some looking for trends, pieces are still relevant long after their first season. So with this in mind a mix of “wow factor’ pieces and high-quality basics that will wash and wear forever. Buy less, but focus on the more expensive statement pieces and accessories to round out the keepers. Some women worry does this make my bum look big? So they need to be shopping with someone who can help. That’s how we differentiate ourselves. Update the classics with a skinny trouser that is perfect under tunics or a softer wide pant with a tucked-in chiffon blouse. Look for something gorgeous with a wee bit of an edge.

Sexy beautiful colours. You may live in black, but now it is the time to add the interest with colours. Stock up on fuchsias, purples or aubergines, or try the just-right-red, cobalt’s, even mustards. Black feels too ‘doom and gloom’, people want to walk out with colour. It’s that wow factor, people will look at you.

Wear time. The wardrobe planner’s rule of thumb is based on time spent wearing pieces: for a working woman, devote 60% of your wardrobe spend to investment pieces, 20% to basics and treat yourself to the trendy come-and-go items only with the last 20% of your budget (you have a budget, don’t you?)

Life cycle. How do you know when to buy a trend? A lifetime from runway to chuck-out bins is around three years for a dramatic trend. So, if you spot something that really hits your personal style, buy it when you first spot it and you’ll get a least three years’ wear of an on-trend update to your wardrobe. Then, if you must, retire it (not clogging your main wardrobe) for when it makes the inevitable comeback.
