As Spring Festival approaches, so does the sales season. It's the best time for women to take advantage of this period to refresh their wardrobes, but to make sure they don't completely empty their bank accounts too. However, with so many clothes available at discounted prices, the impulse to shop till you drop is tempting. To keep it in check, the following seven tips may help you to embrace this wave of shopping fever.

    Stick to certain brands

    There are two types of men for every woman: those who love her and are husband material, and those who she finds attractive, but aren't suitable for her. The same scenario goes for clothes. There are those pieces which appear beautiful but aren't her type, and also those that appear mediocre but suit her pretty well. If a woman often wears clothes of a certain brand well, she should stick with it. So if you're caught up in the shopping fever, try to go for those labels you usually buy.

    Stay practical

    Our closets are filled with clothes to suit all kinds of occasions, from the office to sports, casual get-togethers and formal parties. Yet you may often gravitate towards a particular activity. So before squandering your money on various clothes, ask yourself, "Am I a party girl?" or "Am I spending most of my time in offices?" For the former, it's OK to buy a dozen of discounted Chanel or Marc Jacobs dresses. Yet for the latter, it's much more worthwhile to pick up some neatly cut suits.

    Black and white makes the money worthwhile

   As with most sales, the clothes discounted are either the sizes that are too big or too small, the colors harder to match, or the style isn't quite right. While people often don��t buy the wrong size, they could easily fall for clothes with the wrong colors. So when you're caught up in the sales frenzy, try to stick to black and white outfits and stay away from those colors that you don't wear. Women with lighter skin tones may try red, pink or blue.
