It's exagerated to say that I am a shopaholic, but who doesn't love to go shopping and buy nice cloth? Put me in a mall with cash to spend and I am unstoppable, yet extremely pre-cautious and efficient of the time and money I spend.
Choosing an outfit to buy can take quite some time since there are so many factors that I consider such as how many times I would wear it, the ammount of time it would last, if I already had something similar to it, etc.. So yes, call me indescisive and a drag to shop with, but in my defense I always end up getting the items that I 100% love and use! However - and i might be letting you in on a little secret- there are those once a year moments where I take risks in the clothes I chose because of their color, style or a clashing characterstic that differs from my cloth safe zone. It makes me feel like a rebel. But how is life suppose to be fun without some playing around?

Apart from the real decision of chosing "the one" item you will buy, there are quite a few rules you should follow for best usage of time, organization and it makes shopping a whole lot easier let alone funner. In addition, these tips help one also economically in terms of buying what you need and not what you want- even though sometimes thats harmless.
1. Fast to change Make sure you wear cloth that are easy to change into and out so that trying on cloth won't be a drama. I reccomed tank tops and shorts for summer and pants and blouse for winter.
2. Tank tops I personally think that using tank tops is always great because many tshirts and blouses require one - it even works for pants or shorts! So using one will help serve as a "base" for whatever you try on!
3. Colors This isnt usually an issure for me, but if your fashion tendency doesn't manily consists of bright colors don't wear something of that style when shopping because it will throw off what you are wearing. This is by far not the most important rule, but there is no harm in mentioning it.
4. Where to go (map) I appretiate this tip so much because knowing where to go is one of the best time-savers ever, especially if you are in an unknown mall. Buying requires spending money and that is a valuable factor, for what taking the time to plan out your shopping shouldn't be a problem. If possible, find a map of the mall you are in and circle the shops you need or want to go to, having clear in mind the distinction between these two. This way you can take shortcuts and visit the mall in an efficient way.
5. Make a list Also take the time to write down what you need to buy and what you could spend extra money on items you want.
6. Travel Lightly Try to not bring many items with you on your trip, rather than a side purse with important items. This way your hand will be free to handle whatever item you pick up or want to see. I strive to go by this rule since I cannot stand to be filled with jackets and shopping bags at once.
7. Tips for when chosing out cloth When I want to try on a clothing, I try to grab more than one size so I don't have to be going back all the time. However, in several places the changing lady will help you if you need to change a piece that you picked out. Also, if you have seen many items you desire, go slow. Take your time. Chose some pieces to take in to the dressing room and go back for the rest, being that in most places the max. amount of items you can bring in are 6.
8. Think Twice Double think what you have decided to buy. Ask yourself, Is this worth spending my money on? How many times would I wear this? Do I really need this? The money you have earned has come from hard work and dedication, right? So don't go around spending it on moments impulsions rather than spending it on items you will actually need and enjoy.
Hopefully these small tips helped you out to make your shopping time more efficient and enjoyable.
