Lael's Shopping Rules and Tricks ... Part 2 of 2

Hi readers! I'm so sorry I've left you hanging for part two of my shopping tricks and rules.... computer troubles, oh well.

Trick: Now that you have those clothes tried on it's time to pick out your pieces and *druuuuuumrooooolllll* TAKE THEM HOME!

Rule: Now that you have weeded through what fits and what doesn't, it's time to weed some more. Joy!
Now it's time to think...
Think about:

• How many pieces do you have weeded through so far?

-If you somehow still have 20 pieces then congrats! You either have an amazing figure or have lots of time, either way all doors are open to you! But of course i hope you aren't planning on buying all of them. 

• How much money do you have?

- If you have $10 than you really have to stretch that don't you? (I know this from personal experience $10 in change can = 1 dress+ 4 pieces of jewelry!) 

- Some people have more of a shopper's conscience than others. I have my personal rules for what i will spend but others have different standards.

- Basically if you are spending more than $100 for a single piece YOU ARE PAYING TOO MUCH! (of course there are certain occasions where that is OK but not on a casual shopping trip) 

• How many stores do you have left to go to?

- If you are at your first store of a whole mall and are already spending more than half of your money you need to rethink what you are buying

• If you don't want to buy it now will it be there next time?

- If it is a big blow-out clearance sale chances are not... if you love it and it passes all rules above for the most, part get it!

• And finally do you love it? 

- There is no reason that you have to spend all of your money in one trip. Unless you LOVE it do NOT buy it!

You should consider each and every one of these things before bringing your choices to the counter. 

Now buying!

This i simple and you can use it when  buying anything.

• Be prepared with your items already picked and laid out
• Have an estimate of how much your things will cost and have the money out and organized

This may seem like a lot of rules and i definitely don't want to make shopping an overbearing uncomfortable experience but if you follow these rules to an extent you will soon be able to formulate your own shopping process which will all-in-all make shopping a much more enjoyable and productive trip to the mall!
