What's the latest with catalogues? Are they merely an antiquated relic of the past?

20 years back, catalogue shopping usually resulted in savings, but is that still true? Yes! You just have to know when to start looking.

1. KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS
Shop off season. Most brands are shifting season-less, but you can still save before that massive change occurs.  

2. BALANCE YOUR CREDIT CARD
If you attain a credit card with a certain store that releases a catalogue (hello Nordstrom!) There are numerous ways to save with your benefits.

3. YOU GOTTA SHOP AROUND
How do you know if you what you've got is so good if there's nothing to compare it to? This goes for dating, jobs as well as clothing. Like many things in life, you'll most likely find yourself surprised by staggering changes in price for similar items.

4. NEVER PAY FULL PRICE
Paying full price is the most ridiculous thing you could do. Find coupons, codes, and other online promos. Take advantage of already low prices!

 

To Kell With BodyCon Dresses!

Dress: Thrifted @ Beacon's Closet, Necklace: My own creation, Suede Booties: Vince Camuto

What even is a BodyCon dress? The widespread accepted notion of this skintight clothing article is worthy of the middle finer. How does anyone eat wearing anything deemed BodyConscious? Delusions of grandeur and Kim Kardashian bodies float around in my mind. This BodyCon B.S. first appeared in 2014 with Herve Leger and his legendary, "Bandage Dress."

Necklace: My own creation, Suede Booties: Vince Camuto

According to FoxNews.com the body conscious silhouette is meant to be worn as a second skin. Naked? However I choose to expound on this definition. Why not apply this bodily conscious terminology to any garment that flaunts the body. Therefore BodyCon does not equate skin tight. Who has desired to wear a skintight dress after 2008?

Therefore, I believe the dress I am wearing in the below photos depicts my own curated definition of what BodyCon is. This long-sleeved, floral babe is totally vintage 90s. I snatched up this baby for $12 at my local thrift shop, and New York landmark, Beacon's Closet. Why can't something like this be the ultimate BodyCon. It shows my legs, cinches my waist/arms, and half the time I am worried about it flying up and exposing my underlings; serving to make me EVEN more conscious of it's presence on my body. 

Have you ever visited the ultimate BodyCon site destination @ BodyCon.com? They have a plethora of options including separates and alternative meanings to BodyCon. Give it a whirl! #kellit #kellinit #tokellwithit
