Eigher’s essay can be broken into three pats. The introduction, the body and the closing. Each of these serves a different purpose in the piece. In the introduction he discusses what dumpster diving is and how to do it safely and efficiently. He lets the reader in on what he takes and how to decide if it is worth it. This part serves to warm the reader up to the idea of dumpster diving and teach them that its not just for rats. The body is the indepth analysis, it is important here for the reader to have an open mind because this is where he talks about some of the downfalls of dumpster diving. Also he talks about the types of things one would find in a garbage can. The end talks about the different kinds of dumpsters and the different kinds of divers. This is important to the proecss analysis because it helps earn back respect for the people who dumpster dive, and the people who put there trash out.

HOW TO:

Shopping is very important to my livelyhood. Even though I am jobless I have found that without money you can still shop. When you do have money though, here are some ways to make sure you get your money’s worth.

First off, do your research. You should know your style better than anyone but to make sure you are current, look through magazines for outfits that you think fit your personality and also you think you can pull off.  Also, google your favorite celebrity icon and look through pictures of oufits they have worn. This is a good idea because celebrities have sylists pick out outfitts for them and by taking thier ideas you are basically getting free styling.

Now, once you are ready to go shopping make sure you are well prepared. Pare down your purse to money and water. Always bring water to hydrate yourself through all the walking, and the lighter purse to keep yourself from collapsing under any added weight of your purchases. Your clothes should also be picked strategically. The ideal outfitt would be a wrap dress, leggings, and tank top, and comfortable flats. This is ideal because of the easy changing factor and also your ability to get undressed in public to try something on at say a crazy sample sale.

Before you go you should have an idea of what your looking for. Once you get to the store study what is upfront. This will usually be the most expensive items as well as current colors and textures. Before grabbing anything, however, high tail it to the back of the store. This is where the best prices will be found. Now by picking from these will not only save you money but also time, becasue they are usually sorted by size so that you are able to look through what is available without searching for sizes. Now I would also caution  you to to beware of rash purchases. I myself have been victim to this problem. Just becaus it is 50% off does not mean that you should get it. Keep in mind what you have studied and make sure that any purchases fall under the umbrella of your prejudged needs. Good buys are always basic tank tops, plain shirts and classic casual jeans.

After tackling the sales rack move forward skipping the accessories (you will come back to these). Once you have what you want to try on get a fitting room and sort the clothes. sort them into potential outfits and try them on. Don’t be afriad to ask for a different size or opinion, the sales staff is there to help you and will almost always tell the truth and offer advice. Also. if you like thier style ask them about how they put thier outfitts together. Now once you have decided what you will be puchaseing, you will need to decid eif you need accessories. Accessories are meant to help your style not trash it. Usually minimalistic is the way to go. For casual events keep to one piece of jewlery and on more special occasions two or three are fine.

Woo! you are done go home and figure your new puchases into your existing clothing. By interchanging clothes you will help the longevity off your clothing.

Holy Smokes! I’m exhausted just reading this! Good advice, though I’m not so sure I could pull of a “wrap dress”.
