Sometimes shopping can be overwhelming, confusing and time-consuming. So it is essential to follow some easy tips and tricks to make sure you shop efficiently and wisely.
These are some of the tips that I follow while I go shopping which makes my life much simpler.

#1 Only buy what you want !

This is something which even I always tell myself, because when I'm at a store, shopping - it's like I'm a hungry kid at a grocery store. I go insane. I know it happens to everyone, you end up buying so many clothes, accessories which you might not need or maybe which you already have in your wardrobe. Make a list of what you want in your wardrobe and search for them when you go shopping.
Tip: What I do is, when I see something in a magazine or Pinterest that I want, I make sure I write it down somewhere along with the detailing I need and it helps me when I go shopping. (BTW, this actually works! Try it yourself)

#2 Buy your colors

This might seem confusing to some of you. But this is the best way in which you can buy the right clothes and colors for you. Knowing your color tones is very essential as this will make shopping easier and better. If you're warmer then go for warmer tones like orange,yellow,red and if you're cooler then go for colors like blue,turquoise, green.
Tip: Simplest way to find out whether you're warm or cool is asking yourself which jewelry suits you best. Gold? Warm. Silver? Cold.  (Also if the color of your veins are green then WARM, blue then COOL)

#3 QUALITY is everything.

Sometimes you think that by buying cheaper clothes you're saving money but it does not work like that. Later you might end up spending lot more in the future for the same products. Make sure you buy really good quality products when it comes to essentials like denims, tees and all wardrobe essentials. If you're paying more for it, make it worth it.
Tip: Don't hesitate to pull in between shirt or jacket lining to make sure they're properly stitched.

#4 Ask yourself "Do I LOVE it?"

If you love it then just buy it. If you don't then don't ! This will make shopping very much easier.
I've a small wardrobe and this makes me try and match to create more outfits. Always make sure you buy clothes that you will wear and just not another item with the price tag hanging in your closet. Don't buy clothes or accessories just because they're in trend, buy them only if you're comfortable in them and especially only if you love them.
