If you have any Trophy Wife traits at all, you know how important it is to dress a certain way. Trophy Wives in Training (TWT's) know that there are several reasons why we have to look a certain way; and the number one is because whatever image we project is a direct reflection of our signifigant other and their successes. The way we dress says to the world what type of Trophy Wife in Training we truly are; it defines not only our personality but our lifestyle. That being said, if you are a TWT, chances are that at this point in your life, you can't spend like a Trophy Wife just yet. But it's not time to give in and buy your clothing at Target (God Forbid.) It is still important to wear the best and to wear it as if your personal shopper picked it out for you...you just don't need to pay full price. There are fabulous sample sale websites that offer the very best designer clothing and accessories for a fraction of the original cost. The trick to a sample sale is to keep track of them on your calendar and become accustomed to visiting them daily (sometimes hourly if it's a truly fabulous sale.) The most important part of sample sale shopping, or any sale shopping for the matter, is to never let anybody else in on your secret. If "Head Mean Girl Trophy Wife" (and there always is one) finds out that your Gucci was half the price of hers...a jealous fit will surely follow. And if you are at a loss for an answer when somebody asks you where you purchased something just say flippantly "Oh gosh...I can't keep track of these things. If I had a penny for every tag still on something in my closet...I could have a new pair of Louboutins!" End of story. Here are my favorite sample sale websites:
