This is the season when we all rush to the nearest clothing store and splurge on our pocket money.Guilty pleasure,eh?All of us are bound to spend a little or a lot more than our budget.Everyone enjoys shopping,it can act like post- break up cure or something that makes us feel better/ revived .Although i am NOT in anyway claiming that i know everything about shopping and the tricks & tips to a happy pocket,here are some basic things that i follow while shopping :
-You may not be a tiny bit or ganized,but make sure you have a budget.Lets say Rs.5000 (INR)(Around US$100)
-Always hide 30% of the money you carry in the inner pocket of your wallet and forget about it.Use it when you “REALLY” need it/ have some shopping emergencies.(I have tried this a million times and it works!)
-Try NOT using Credit Cards,its a sin!
-Do not call your “Over Competitive friend” to accompany you for shopping.She might just ruin it.
-Shopping with your Male friend,Boyfriend or Brother might help.They don’t compete for the items you like.They’re nice people and great shopping partners,trust me!
-Do not dress in layers.Wearing a dress, a blazer over it, with your statement necklace and heels might just ruin your shopping day.Dress simple,wear an oversized shirt with skinny jeans.Avoid Chunky neck pieces, as trying out clothes might be quite a task.
-Flats? Yes.
-If it’s sale time, try to shop during the weekdays or between 11-2 pm during the weekends.All of us know how shopping is during the SALE time. It’s a war ground!
-Most of the girls are quite competitive while shopping especially during “SALE”.If a girl takes the dress that you had selected,pounce on her and scratch that bitch! (Well…haha!)
-Listen to your heart when you like something, but listen to your brain before paying for it.
-Invest in Blazers ,jackets and shoes(boots) during Sale,you can literally get them for half the price.
-Think twice before you purchase an item.
– DO NOT dump the clothes into your shopping bag just because of the “Brand Name”. Ask yourself
” Do i really like it? Will i wear it? or is it just about the ‘Brand name’? ”
Many of us fall for “Name tags”.
-When you purchase jeans/pants ,try walking,sitting,squatting in the trial room.This might sound crazy,but it helps!
-If something fits you right,you can make it look fabulous!
-Trust your instincts and do not purchase branded clothes solely for the “NAME TAG” .
-After you’re done shopping,make sure you check the bills and the items you purchased.Go home and re-try the clothes .
-Stare at the “N” number of shopping bags in your bedroom before you go to sleep.Feels so good no?
HAPPY SHOPPING! 🙂
