Shopping for some is fun but for me and many others, it is the worst kind of torture out there... I would seriously rather do calculus homework than go on a five-hour shopping trip and get nothing.
Why do you want to try on so many clothes and get nothing out of it?! Would it not be simpler to have a list of what you actually need and just go get them. I mean it works for food shopping so why wouldn't it work for clothes shopping?
So here is a shopping survival list for you crazy shoppers out there that think its actually fun to go shopping all day long. Seriously though how are you not exhausted from all that shopping?
1. Wear a comfy outfit!
It is the worst to wear a complicated outfit that you can't just throw on and off when you are trying on a bunch of clothes. I would also suggest wearing slip-on shoes if possible because you will get sick of retying or zipping up your shoes. I've put a few outfits I personally would wear and can contest to being incredibly comfy.
2. For the love of God don't wear heels
Please be merciful to your feet and wear some nice flat shoes that will not give blisters to your feet and in the long run not damage them either.
3. Bring refreshments
Personally, I get hungry from all the hard work it takes to shop like, walking around and trying on clothes. It's exhausting!! So the easy solution is to bring a hella big bag and stuff full of snacks such as gummy's, and granola bars. You will never regret the extra weight because you'll eventually get hangry on the shopping trip.
4. Make sure to take breaks
Everything will eventually start to blur together and you'll then start buying items that you just won't wear ever. An easy solution to this is to just take a break and inventory what you have already bought and considered what you still need.
5. Create a list before shopping
To prevent purchasing things you simply don't need create a shopping list of what you actually need and have it in a place that is easy to access. Every time you feel the urge to buy something just look at your list of items and see if it is on it. If it is not on it then put it back. This will also help you keep a budget on each shopping trip
6. Set a budget
If you are struggling with going overboard each shopping trip you go on then set a budget for yourself. To help reinforce this budget tell your shopping buddy about it and ask them to help you keep to it. This will help you eventually become more efficient in spending your money and saving it as well.
I hope this short list will help you guys prepare for your next shopping adventure in the future. I've slowly been picked these up myself and have gotten this advice from friends as well I'm actually the kind of shopper that makes a list and goes and gets the exact items on the list and leaves.
Lol ya, I'm not a huge shopper but shopping with friends is always a blast. You get to hang out and try on crazy clothes for laughs! And there is always food at the end no matter what.
Shopping is exhausting. So, good luck and have fun and hopefully, this helped just a little bit.
