Life Hack: A clothes shopping outfit
There are clothes living rent-free in your closet because you thought they were cute in the store, but you actually NEVER wear them. How do you avoid that?
Here’s my tip. Get dressed in your favorite outfit for the category you’re shopping for. If you’re shopping for athletic wear, dress in your favorite workout attire. If you’re looking for a new business skirt, wear your favorite one. This may not apply for Halloween costumes or formal attire, but then again, maybe it does. I’ll see you in stores this October in my skeleton pajamas.
Why does this work? Because in the dressing room, you’ll have a live before and after image. The bar is set. The standard raised. If that summer dress looks cute on the hanger, but doesn’t make you feel as pretty as the one you just had on, you’ll put it back. HOWEVER, if you came to the store in your fraying leggings and a stained T-shirt, then of course that new sundress will look flattering in comparison. You’ll buy it and later regret it.
