In a local shop last weekend, the young sales clerk and I were discussing how to decide whether to buy a given article of clothing. She said she suggests customers ask themselves three question:
- Does it fit my body now?
- Will I be able to wear it within the next week?
- Does it go with items I already own?
She said if you can answer yes to those three questions, the item will merge seamlessly into your wardrobe.
There are other considerations, of course, but I love the simplicity of the advice.
What questions do you ask yourself before purchasing something new?
