Spontaneous shopping is fab and exciting, but it’s important to complement the fun with a seasonal shopping list to ensure your purchases are focused and aligned with your needs. Keep the list in your head or write it down. Tick things off as you go. 

Prioritize the items on your list if you can’t get them all at once. Get must-haves and items that satisfy a desperate need first. Get items that will have a big impact on the effectiveness of your wardrobe next. Items that you can live without are not a priority.

Make a section in your list for the items that you’re not allowed to purchase for a while. Prevent unnecessary duplications. And avoid a closet full of stuff with nothing to wear. That way you can focus on what you need, and not just what you enjoy buying.
