Could I make it? Would I make it?

Could I resell or return it?

For me:
- will this fit into my lifestyle?
- Quality of the fabric. Does it wrinkle a lot?
-will it look good with pieces I already have or will I have to buy something else to make it work?
- will this color work with my wardrobe?

Is it black!!

Just kidding... kind of:) Colour palette is probably my main point for elimination.

The usual basics (color, fabric, fit, can I make outfits, etc.) but then these:

* Does this move my style forward?
* Do I already own this? (not this exact item, but this item category (e.g., black a-line skirt, printed 3/4 sleeve blouse). If so, don't buy more. Just wear what I have.
* Work to be content with what I have and not be ruled by my desires for "new."

what will it take the place of in my closet? And do I love the original thing more. I keep looking at metallic oxfords/brogues for spring but I have a pair of creamy heeled oxfords that I love and were expensive. I don't want to wear them less.

Also the easy factor. Is it on the short side so I have to yank it down all the time? Will I have to fiddle with my bra straps?

Good post
