Hanger appeal
Just because it looks gorgeous on the hanger, it doesn't mean it will look as good on you. Try it on!
What condition the item is in
Is it discounted because the fabric is damaged or the zip needs replacing? You don't want to spend money having it mended.
Fashion prints
Will you wear it in two months time, let alone next autumn/winter?
Colours that you know don't work for you When
you know, you know. Yes you would love to be able to wear fuchsia pink
and it is such a gorgeous top, but every time you try on that colour
you look dreadful in it. Put the item down!
Styles that aren't 'you'
Sometimes
we are attracted to clothes for reasons we can't seem to explain. You
never wear chiffon but this chiffon blouse is calling to you. And it is
discounted. That's not to say you can't experiment and step out of your
comfort zone now and again, but ask yourself "Is it really you?".
If
you don't feel 'you' in it, you will never wear it.
All that glitters
Leftovers
from party wear collections. It is always useful to invest in some
party outfits and even better at discount. Just be sure that you
genuinely like the style and that it's a good look on you, don't buy it
simply because it's a cheap(er) party dress.
Of
course, all sale items can be returned and if you are taken with
something but can't decide (even after going through all the tips
above!) then you might be better trying it on at home at your leisure
away from the packed sales racks.
