Hello Sugaries,
I hope you are doing great and I missed you all a lot. :)
Well, if you read my blog then you might know that I love trying new products
and sometimes things can get really out of budget. In this post I will show you
how to shop successfully when you are going all out with your shopping!
I know how mesmerizing it feels when you shop...ahhh...all
the sorrows seem to fade away right? But can we afford it all? Yes, we can! If
you are a student and you are on a budget or you earn and pay your own bills but
you also enjoy spending a little something
something on yourself every once in a while then this post is just for
you... Keep reading to find out more!
1. Stop and See
I like to call this technique stop and see because every
time I go out I get carried away with all those signs saying 50% off 75% off
and buy the same things which I already have. I started this technique some time
ago and found it really helpful. Before you leave for shopping check your
wardrobe and see which clothing item do you now want to invest in? Is it jeans,
shirts, blouse, shorts, scarfs etc this
will help you in not purchasing the same item again and again.

2. Quality pieces
Ever so often I see people bragging about investing in a top
which is worth like 350 SAR (94 USD). I believe it is a total waste as you
might wear it say, 3 to 4 times then what? It is a staple piece and you can’t wear the
same thing every day! I totally believe in investing in a good item which you
can wear everyday say a coat or something similar which can be utilised and
just doesn’t sit in your drawer making you feel guilty of your purchase every
time you open your wardrobe.
3. Basics
Some people really neglect this but I truly believe that
investing in good Basics like tank tops, shirts in greys, blacks and earthy
tones which you can pair with denim or leather jacket or wear it with multiple
other things. Such clothing item that you wear everyday should be of good
quality and should be taken as an investment so that you don’t have to put your
money in the same clothing item again and again.
4. Smart shopping
When buying makeup and you are a girl on the budget think
smartly as to which product do you need the most? Especially if you are still
building your makeup collection. Look for sales to buy foundations and powder
compacts, such things are a bit costly in ordinary days so look out to buy
those when there is a clearance sale.
5. Guilt free shopping
Take your proper size. It is common to go all crazy seeing
other people shop! We tend to buy stuff that we think we will fit in or will magically
reduce to fit that size! Well no, that’s not possible, so avoid feeling guilty
later, even if you love an item and it’s not in your size, think its fate and don’t
just buy it thinking you will watch some you tube video on how to make that
item fit you because we all know it’s a lot of effort and you can’t return it especially
if you are buying it when it is in sale so save time, energy and money! Only
male your purchase when you are 100% sure that it will fit you.
6. Ask yourself
I know this seems to over rated but it is true. If you drift
seeing all the beautiful and gorgeous item in the room then this is not a
problem for you but it will be a problem for your wallet in the long run. I
know we think it is obligatory on us to give some business to all those poor
shops out there but hey! they will not
help you when you are broke. So if you see something that you like and the
smarter side of your mind says it unnecessary then take a moment and ask yourself…
Do I really need this? Is this that important? If not just move on to looking
for the thing that you really wanted in the first place.

these tips helpful, yes I am guilty of being a shopaholic myself but I

idea too! If you liked it please share, subscribe and follow me on facebook and
