Hey guys! Welcome or welcome back to a stylish tips and tricks. I am Makina. The topic is how we can avoid buying clothes that we are going to regret later. Another question that I believe you should ask yourself is can you create a two full look with that specific item? The second question that I believe you should ask yourself is can you wear it repeatedly? Repeat regularly. There you go. Can you wear it regularly? I also want you guys to ask yourself if it was a don't sell will you buy it if it is on sale? Of course, if it is regular price and it doesn't count but if you look at 99 is on sale right now if it wasn't on sale will you actually spend the money? Ask yourself how much are you willing to pay without looking at the price that first? Another thing that can discourage you from buying an item is the cost of the product. If that item costs 50 bucks let's say and your job pays you 10 dollars an hour do you realize that you have worked 5 freaking hours to pay that specific item? Do you have something similar at home and I want you to think about the style, the fit and the color? Also ask yourself do you have something do you own something that serve the similar or similar purpose or that gives the same vibe? Does it flatter your silhouette? Can you pay it in full right here right now and I don't want you to think about your credit card? I want you to think about debit or cash. Do you have enough money in your bank account to pay for this item that you just happen to see that you are not looking for it? Can you actually afford it right now? You really want to owe money to the bank? If you get a credit card you really want to owe money to the bank for this specific item. You really want to borrow 20 bucks from your friends or 50 bucks from your mom or your dad for that specific item. To me it doesn't really make any sense or do you really want to spend the next few days with 20 bucks in your bank account because your next paycheck is in two weeks or two weeks. I don't know if you paid weekly or bad weekly. Do you really want to spend the next few days with only 20 bucks because you spend more money that you could afford and that specific item? By spending all the money in your bank account and having 20 bucks left for the upcoming days is just not it. Number 13, take a look at your surroundings for a minute and ask yourself all you're feeling pressured to buy it. It can be pressured from the saleswoman or the salesman because there are some stories that they do have people inside who are advising you what is a better fit, what you should go for, etc. Maybe they are telling you hey this is you should decide quit because this item could sell that any minute. Everybody is buying it. It is very trendy. It is dehydем of the moment. Oh wow it is so amazing on you when etc because you just want to make a good sale or it can be pressured from your friends as well. Sometimes our friends don't mean as well. As if that in your God you don't feel like it. You don't want it. You feel like it's not for you. Please listen to your God and walk away. Number 13 is also a big one. Actually one of the first things that you guys should think about educate yourself on the return policies and the exchange policies as well. You don't want to buy something and the next thing you know that item was finding a sale because you never knew about it and why you didn't know about it because you didn't ask. When you enter the store, when you're paying most of the time they do tell you that item is financial but sometimes they tell you that after you paid for it or sometimes they just don't tell you that because the person they cheer he's thinking about other stuff and they just forgot to mention that but you didn't do your part as well because you didn't ask. I don't think that you should only see because some people they're like hey what are the exchange and return policies and that's it. This is not it. You need to ask hey is that specific item can it be returned like shades? Not just asking what are the return or exchange policies. Can I return it? If I do go back home and then other person I change my mind or I do have an unexpected bill that I have to pay, can I return it and have my coin to right away so I can go ahead and pay that bill. That is the thing that you need to worry about is the way that you should definitely ask the question according to me. You need to ask for that specific item and not just in general what are the return policies and exchange policies. And how long do you have to return it? It is important for you to know that as well. There are some stores that return policies are five days you guys. Five days you some people actually think that all it should be 30 days in every store. No. Each company they're allowed to create their own return policy and if she decides that you only have 48 hours to return something was six or broke you only have 48 hours it is and there's nothing that you can do about it. If you pass that 48 hours you cannot tell them what the hell 48 hours like a business is supposed to have at least seven days no. They can come up with whatever rules that they can come up with when it comes to exchange when it comes to return. Please educate yourself on the return or the exchange policies in case you do regret buying it that there's still a chance for you to come back to the store and have your money back. Another question that you should definitely ask yourself is will you take care of that item the proper way. If it says dry clean please dry clean if it says and watch it if you're not going to do it please walk away this item is not for you. You can care for an item the way you should if you don't the item the clothing is not going to last and what's gonna happen is that you spend your money on that specific item for no reason and you use it now. Are you going to wear it right now or in the next three months. I had a bad habit of when I see something and I really want it and I don't have any event coming up and I used to tell my friends when I'm trying to convince myself to buy it. I used to tell my friends well I'm gonna wear it for my birthday or this or that friend graduation coming next year. My friend or second after like well okay if you want to wear it for a purpose specific purpose well go ahead and get it but by the time next year comes I want something else I want to wear something else I'm not interested in that specific item anymore because it's not on your trendy or there's something else that I thought that I caught that caught my eyes it is probably going to be the case for you just let it go don't do what I used to do and just don't buy it. Another question if it is a item on self please ask yourself if there is anything wrong with it anything even the smallest thing there are some stores are they gonna don't sell because there is a stain or there is a button missing or there is a little hole it doesn't matter what it is if the item is on sale please take your time to look truthfully at the item and to make sure that it's an item that is a good investment. Now it might be just about a button that is missing but is it easy to find that specific button so you can replace it sometimes it is not that easy let's say there is a hole in the t-shirt are you willing to actually pay someone to fix the hole it's not an investment it is more money than the money that you're saving buying it you're actually gonna spend it somewhere else. Please make sure that item is good to go there is no issue even the smallest issue and that everything is good before you invest money in that item. Now the last question we actually added a list if you look at the cash register and there is a line that 30 minutes or more than 30 minutes so if you look at the feeding room and there is a line 30 minutes or more will you actually wait in the line to get it or we just abandon that item don't even look right or leave just ask yourself that question and most of the time you guys are just like I'm not about to wait 30 minutes or more just without specific item I don't need it that I don't need it that much to wait 30 minutes or more in the line and you guys are just gonna abandon it. Please do so without taking a look at the line to pay for it or the line the feeding room because if you do look and then you see there is nobody when that question don't sense please ask yourself that question and most of the time you are going to just let it go and not wait. Well me it's patient as well it always works for me that guys well think about everything that I just say all those questions you need to definitely ask yourself. I know for a fight actually guys I'm not gonna remember each and every single question and that makes sense I get it I'm not gonna remember it as well. This is why I had made a brief resume of all those questions in the description below now you guys are not going to find the explanations that I all the explanation that I've given you this video you guys are just going to find the question in the description below so just take a look um before you go shopping just go ahead and take a look at all those questions just remind yourself of all the things that you should definitely ask yourself before you buy something if you're someone every time you go out and go shopping you're attempted to buy something else please take a look at that document before you leave your house before you go shopping with your friends with your mom with your dad or on your own just as a reminder of why you should not buy that specific item that you just saw and that looks very appealing to you and why you should definitely what what is it walk away yeah you got it walk away
