If you are an impulsive shopper this article is for you. Are there times that you shop for clothes and you still have nothing to wear because they don’t fit your personal style? This is not unusual as we constantly shop without factoring what we need and what we don’t need. I am also talking to myself as I shop out of excitement not out of need.
How to know the gaps in your wardrobe.
Gaps in wardrobe happens when basic items are missing; basic items to you may not be basic items to me. This can be discovered through your personal style. If you are a jean and T-shirt girl, basic items in your wardrobe would be pairs of jean in different cuts and silhouette. For me, I incorporate jeans just because, but I am more of a blazer, oversized shirt and wide leg flowy pants girl and I can’t have a gap in my wardrobe when it comes to these items. Having wide leg pants in all colors in my wardrobe is key. Once you figure out what you love wearing the most, fill in those gaps as quick as possible. This is done to avoid impulsively buying items you don’t need and ending up not having what to wear.

We have all been there and I still find myself shopping just because. One of the first ways to avoid impulse buying, is by restraining from scrolling through websites aimlessly. There was a period in my life where it felt therapeutic to scroll through clothing websites or beauty videos. Scrolling inevitably caused me to impulsively shop for items that I didn’t “necessarily need”.
There are seasonal items that is a must for Spring Summer like dresses. I am about to shop for Summer and I am contemplating what gaps are in my wardrobe to fill. I believe I need more floral dresses and tops to fill in the gaps in my summer wardrobe. When shopping, I would be mindful to not add items that don’t fall into these categories. It is tempting to shop for cute items but it’s doable to stick to filling in your wardrobe gaps only
