My tips on how to SHOP SMARTER.
Updated: Feb 11, 2020
Ask yourself these questions when considering a new item:
Do I love how I look & Feel?
Do I have 4 or more items to pair this with?
Does it fit my personal style?
Is the fabric long lasting?
Have I looked at other stores?
Will I remember and still want this item in 1 week?
THINK ABOUT:
Don't pass by unfamiliar items, try them on you could be surprised, it always takes a few wears to get comfortable with a new style or trend.
Do Not buy items just because they are on sale/clearance!
Factor in cost per wear on investment pieces.
Shop with focus and intention, know before you go what you are looking for.
AVOID/CONSIDER:
Lower distractions by shopping in the best conditions.
Consider the following:
Hunger- Don't try and shop when you are hungry.
Children- If children inhibit shopping don't take them, find a sitter or swap childcare with someone.
Time- Shopping on a time limit is good but you don't want to feel rushed, allow a good time window.
Self-esteem- Shop when you feel good about yourself, try not to go if you are you are feeling extra negative about yourself or a situation. for the ladies, shopping with pms isn't always fun either.
Non-clothing departments- Avoid getting distracted by looking or browsing in other areas of a store until you are done with the clothing area.
