GUILT-FREE SHOPPING

 

How do you deal with shopping obsession? Impulsive shopping creates a lot of stress:

1. Regretting almost half the purchases you make by the time you reach back home.

2. No matter how much you buy you usually don’t have anything to wear for important occasions.

3. Over spending on shopping by seeing the garment or accessory and not considering whether it is appropriate for you.

4. Falling prey to various offers which actually remove your attention from how much you save.

Here comes your guide for a GUILT-free shopping experience:

1. Identify roles, goals and frequent or upcoming occasions in your life.

2. Organize your wardrobe to discard the unwanted and group your clothes to increase visibility and accessibility to pick the appropriate outfits and save time.

3. Identify your shopping list and make a plan including budget, what you require and when do you need it.

4. Identify your personal characteristics like body shape, face shape, personal color and style to pick the most appropriate outfit/accessory.

5. Ease some of the strain on your budget by buying off season, for instance buy swim suits, shorts in winters and sweaters in summers.

6. Read the labels prior to buying clothes, so you know how to wash, dry and iron them and increase their wear-life.

7. The process of taking care of your clothes is as important as buying them. Set time aside to periodically check your clothes if any of them need maintenance such as fixing buttons, stitching hems that have opened up etc.

8. Lastly go through magazines/websites and pick out pictures of outfits you love. Cut a few pictures out and use them while shopping.

Let us replace compulsive shopping moments with organized and enjoyable experiences! Happy Shopping!
