Smart Shopping Tips & Philosophies 1. Buy the Outfit Rule: Easy to buy in bulk, not easy putting everything together into a cohesive look. To avoid this, I advise buying the entire outfit at once to remove the stress and guesswork of getting ready + capsule wardrobe building. 2. 3-Item Test: Before hitting "buy," ask yourself if you can wear that item with at least 3 other pieces you already own. 3. “Base Layer" Strategy: Always start with a breathable base (like a cotton camisole). Base layers are like makeup primer for your clothes—they make the rest of the outfit sit better and keep you comfortable during temperature changes. 4. Save vs. Splurge (70/30): Expensive on a budget by mixing affordable staples with a few designer investment pieces. 5. Anti-Fast Fashion: Even at great prices, an item isn't worth the spend if it can't be worn for multiple occasions.
