THE BIGGEST SHOOPING BOO-BOO
Purchasing something that is flattering alone. Meaning, something that is eye catching and yet something that does not even look good on you. There are only two types of clothes. Those that flatter you and those that don’t. Given the two choices, I suggest you pick the one that flatters you. Who wouldn’t anyway? You have to look at the mirror to see through yourself. Choose something that would greatly highlight your assets and mask those that should be hidden. Do not merely choose something because it is pretty or it is branded.
The idea of an outfit being pretty is much more seen when it is worn. A pretty wardrobe would always depend on the one who is totally working it out. Any wardrobe, no matter how good the matching of the colours, the sexy it looks or how costly it is can still be a total nightmare if the one who is wearing it do not even look good on it.
Shopping with friends. I know that there is nothing more enjoying in life than to shop with a whole bunch of friends to give you their ideas. But, it is a no-no. Having friends to contradict or agree with what you want when shopping will only result to you purchasing something that is less flattering and something that is unnecessary. So if you are to shop with friends make sure have already in mind what you want to buy plus you must bring discipline with you.
You can never tell whether a friend is competing with you. A competitive friend will just drag you into making regretful choices. And you do not want that to happen.
Power shopping without a list. Make sure you always have a list of whatever it is that you need to buy so you won’t end up buying less or buying more of what you actually need. More so, having a list beside you will help you keep on tract on the diminishing value of your purchasing power. It is either you increase or decrease the value you are supposed to meet.
Purchasing shoes because they look fabulous. There is nothing more worse than to purchase an uncomfortable to wear shoes because it merely looks fabulous. Your poise make or break your outfit. And since it is the totality of your outfit, anything that restricts you from your movements will be a great turn off. Much more when your shoes are uncomfortable to wear. Not only that it will affect your walk or your poise, it will also aggravate your feet’s situation.
Buying something unnecessary because of a fantastic sale. Not only that it will cost you money but also it will be a total waste of closet space. You must always remember that shopping is not merely about buying stuffs that are worth less but about buying stuffs that are worth less and at the same time useful to you. Wasting resources is a totally bad idea.
