Several weeks ago I posted a poll question to the community.  I asked the following question:

What do you think the mistake women make most is?

I wanted to know if you felt that women make their purchasing mistakes by choosing:

• Wrong Color
• Wrong Style
• Wrong Size/Fit

What do you think the answers were?  Many people initially felt that it was the wrong color.  Then the number began to change most people felt that women made most of their mistakes when purchasing wrong SIZE.

Here are the “official” results:

• Wrong Size 47%
• Wrong Style 45%
• Wrong Color 8%

Now I will tell you what I think. I believe that most people come to adulthood not getting their color “all wrong”.  If they are listening to those around them they know generally a color “family” that is o.k.  They may not get it exactly right, but it’s not all wrong.

I believe that women will forever buy a size either for comfort or because of the number on the label and wear it regardless of whether or not it looks good.

I believe that a woman will NOT wear something that is not the right STYLE for them.  Yes, they will buy it but they will put it on and take it off again because it just doesn’t “feel” right.  They may not know why because the color and the size might be right.  The STYLE is ALL WRONG!

That’s why I say:  COLOR, STYLE, FIT….it has to be all right to have it all good.  There you have it, my “unscientific” poll of woman’s fashion sense!

“Look Good, Feel Great, and Have FUN Doing It!”
