"The world has changed, and so has the way we think about what we need. But guess what? It is safe to go back to the stores and thanks to our eight-commandments guide.
Welcome back, shopping! We missed you!
#1. Know what you own (down to your socks).
There is nothing as freeing as a closet weed-out. Sort out your makeup, too!
#2. Spend within your means. See ya credit card debt!
Yes, you can shop again. You just have to know what your budget is before you start.
#3.Buy what is worth to you.
Depending on your lifestyle and career, pick the pieces that you can maximaze the use of (e.g. classics always work best)
#4. Before you buy, take a quiz offered by Tommy Hilfiger that goes:
Does this truly fit your bodym not just the body you wish you had?
Are you itching to put it on now?
Would someone who sees you on the street think, She looks GREAT?
Will you want to wear this next month, next season, next year?
Only make a purchase if you can answer YES to ALL.
#5.Rewear and reuse all stuff with pride.
As we all know, fashion always comes back and everyone of us has classics that can be worn in a billion of different ways. Use your imagination and don't be afraid to not only follow the rules, but break them. That's called being trendy!
#6.Get the trends for LESS!
Don't feel like spending a fortune on a new stylish piece, invest in a new set of scarves or accessories. They will instantly update your look and make everyone notice your "new" outfit.
#7. Never have a buyer's remorse.
Avoid spontaneous purchases. Think about the pieces you currently own and if the new item will work with any or hopefully, several of them.
#8. Be more inclined to buy, when it is for a cause.
Search our for pieces that will help people in need or sold by a retailer that contributes to a charitable organization. Purchase will feel so much better.
