    Clothes shopping can be a lot of fun, but it can also mean having lots of clothes that you never quite get round to wearing. Before you plan your next shopping trip, read these pointers to help you get it spot on:

     

    Make A List Of What You Need

    Don’t go clothes shopping until you’ve made a list of what you actually want/need. If you go shopping without a list, you could end up coming back with things that you never wear. You might even end up buying something similar to what you already own, if you don’t take inventory of what you have and don’t have before you leave. This is the most effective way to get your clothes shopping done.

     

    Ensure You Have At Least 2 Items You Can Wear With Your New Piece

    Before you buy something, think about what you already have. Will this item go with at least 2 more items in your wardrobe? If the answer is yes, then you’ll likely wear the item you’re thinking of buying. It’s all well and good thinking something is beautiful, but if you have nothing to wear with it, what’s the point?

    Never Go Shopping Without Looking For Coupons

    If you don’t mind paying full price for things and have a ton of disposable income, go ahead and shop. But if you would like to save a little when you shop, always look for coupons before you go. There’s usually something out there for everyone, whether that’s a Sears coupon or something else. You could save a huge chunk of money on your new buys!

     

    Try A Little DIY On The Pieces You’re Bored With

    Instead of throwing things away, try a little DIY on the pieces you’re bored with. This could be a lot of fun, and you’ll end up with some unique items that look incredible (providing you watch a few tutorials before you dive straight in). You could add some fringing, patches, tie-dye your stuff...the list goes on.

     

    Think About Investment Pieces

    Paying a lot of money for one item can be frowned upon. But if the item in question is an investment piece, then you can feel good about spending the money. If you know this is an item that you’ll really get the wear out of, then it’s a must. It’s always worth spending a little more to make the item last for years.

    Consider The Cost Per Wear

    If you’re wondering whether you should splash out on an item, consider cost per wear. How much do you think you’ll wear the item, and how much would that make it per wear? If you’re thinking about buying a $40 dress but you’re only going to wear it twice, that’s a little costly.

     

    Stay Away From Trends And Develop Your Own Style

    Instead of following trends, which is boring and pricey, develop your own style. If you like something, wear it! Forget being in fashion and develop your own personal style instead!
