1) Have a spending limit:

No matter how tempting it is, have a set amount you want to spend and stick to it. This also avoids boredom or window shopping. Do not let the 10% off, any discount, or coupon strategy fool you, be firm on your decisions.

2) Trade:

You can trade-in your old items for a new one, or sell them. That is why it is important to have quality pieces and take care of them so you can swap or resell and use that money for something else. Shopping for well-known brands would also help you with this. Thrift stores are a good place to shop and trade as well. 

3) Be accountable:

Take a friend with you when shopping, make a shopping list of items you truly need and carry cash along with you if possible as spending with a card is also a huge temptation. You know your friends so go with one that would help you be accountable for your funds.

Getting things you don’t need?

Spending wayyy over your budget?

Don’t know what to shop for or how to?
We’ve got you covered. Just read through our shopping guide and learn how to shop like a pro!

Navigating a store / boutique

1 Go with an agenda: a.) The first guide to shopping is to set a budget – you don’t want to overspend on things you don’t want, need or use just because. Tip: set an estimate on what you’re going to spend on a shopping trip and stop shopping when you hit that limit! b.) Shop with a list; you should always shop with a list and when you do, stick to it because you don’t want to leave anything out or go out of your budget c.) Set a timeframe of when to leave and once you’ve gotten everything on your list, stop shopping.

                                                                                                                                                                     
2 Always wear well-fitting underwear when you shop. It is the base of everything.

3 Discover new brands – Don’t write-off new brands just because they aren’t high end luxury, check them out and you just might find something that suits you.

4 Make sure your choices are suitable for the climate of whatever city you’re in!

5 It’s OK to repeat-buy. There’s nothing wrong in having 5 variations of an outfit if you wear them all.

6 Ask yourself, ‘where will I wear this?’ and if you won’t wear it ever or more than once, don’t buy it! 

7 Pay with cash and not credit card. It’s easy to get this limitless feeling when shopping with a credit card. It’s best to withdraw cash so you can easily stick to your budget.

Changing room Tips: 1.) Always take two sizes of the same outfit to try on because you might fit better into the one you weren’t expecting; it’s a hassle dressing up again to get another size – If you can’t find your perfect size, be quick to ask your attendant to order in your size 2.) Move around and sit down in the item to check for comfort. 3.) Take pictures of yourself in the mirror to see the outfit from different angles.

E-commerce tips

1. Sign up to newsletters from your favourite brands to know when new collections arrive on their site and especially when they go on SALE. Turn on post notifications for their Instagram pages too. 

2. Always check to see how the body type, size and fit is on the model. You don’t want any unpleasant surprises on delivery.

3. Check other websites for the items to compare prices, different model angles (if available) and return policies.

4. Check customer reviews, sometimes you get to know how trustworthy or flawed a brand is depending on its customer reviews. 

P.S – If you are not satisfied with item upon delivery, return it.

The Perfect Shoe Guide

1. Buy trendy shoes. It’s a smart way to update anything your wardrobe

2. Trust your own comfort level and not a shoe’s size. Walk around in the shoe to determine how they feel on different surfaces.

3. Never buy a shoe thinking it will stretch. Find shoes that fit from the start.

4. Make sure your choices are suitable for the weather. Rubber soled shoes are better suited for rain as opposed to leather.
