SMART QUESTiONS TO ASK YOURSELF BEFORE THE BUY

Who else strives to be a savvy shopper with a keen eye for a bargain?? It’s one thing shopping for bargains, but we still need to be mindful of not spending purely for the sake of a sale.

Since becoming a parent I no longer have the funds, or the nerve, to spend my pay checks on expensive new outfits. I shop “smart”. I look for versitile pieces that i actually need and will get wear out of, and pieces that do my body and lifestyle justice.

Before making a purchase, i suggest asking yourself the following questions:

• Is in it in my budget?

• Where will i wear this?

• Do i already own something similar at home?

• What items do i have that could go with this?

• Does it suit my body shape?

• Does it reflect my lifestyle?

If you stay on track it should be money well spent! It should also mean you don’t end up one of those people with a wardrobe full of clothes still with their tags on - less wastage people!
