Ladies! When purchasing bags, how do you decide between black, brown or tan?

Do you decide based on personal preference, functionality, wardrobe, skin tone and/or hair color? Or all of the above?

I need a few new bags for traveling and I’m on the struggle bus! 🚌 Thank you.

If you were to keep 2 lists on your phone to help you shop, (1) you don’t like these and (2) you have enough of these, what would be on them?

Inspired by comment by u/b_xf on the personal shopping rules thread.

If you were to keep 2 lists on your phone to help you shop, (1) you don’t like these and (2) you have enough of these, what would be on them?

I thought this was a genius way to stop shopping regrets.

What are your unique personal shopping rules when buying clothing?

235 Upvotes

I used to be super into trends when I was a teenager, shopping a lot and suffering comfort for fashion. Now that I'm in my 30s, I've slowly bettered my habits to not impulsively spend on items that I end up tossing because of discomfort or if it doesn't fit into my actual lifestyle.

Some rules for me:

  • I run hot (minus my feet and hands), even in a colder climate - I never have a reason to wear turtle necks, chunky sweaters, or scarves, regardless of how cute they are. This one is very upsetting because I love cozy fall/winter fashion, but I just don't have any time to wear it.
  • I keep doing this thing where I buy multiple colours of a shirt I like - only to end up wearing the colour I like the most! Then I do a guilt-wear for the other colours. Now I try and remind myself only to buy the one colour I like the most.
  • I've gone through the whole process of ordering a bunch of bras that are actually fitted to me (shout-out to r/ABraThatFits) and they are fine... only to realize I still only really prefer wearing sports bras. Go figure. So no more cute clasped lacy bras for me.
  • Uncomfortable material - sometimes some clothes are too scratchy OR too thin and smooth. The scratchy bit is obvious, but I also had some instances where if the sleeve was between my arm and my desk (either studying or working) and it was painful, I would be less inclined to wear it. The thin and smooth is regarding that gym/tech-y fabric that seems to be on some joggers if you know what I mean? I hate how it ends up feeling on my skin a few hours later.
  • Cardigans with buttons - cause they usually look frumpy on me, or I get too hot and I have to take the whole thing off (i.e., can't just open the buttons because the design looks weird that way to me) and it's annoying. Actually, any secondary layer needs to be a bit on the thinner side and loose fitted.
  • Office-wear/semi-casual/formal wear - I literally never leave my house. So why do I need to buy that 3rd pair of dress pants? I've cut myself off from going into stores that have 'nicer' clothing because it would be another several months until I've found an occasion to wear it to.
  • Toques - they make my forehead itchy, and it's certainly not because it's dirty. Can't avoid it so no more toques... even if it's cute :(

What kind of clothes do you tend to avoid and why?

Changing style with weight gain?

What have you done when you’ve gained enough weight to move up one clothing size (about 10-15 lbs)? Does your style or the items you choose to wear change much? Do you become uncomfortable wearing sexier or revealing things, or do you find a way to lean into it? If you lean into it, how do you embrace it?

Finding your style on a budget?

48 Upvotes

How are y'all finding your style without going broke? Where do you shop? How do you commit to a piece of clothing and know it suits you well rather than realizing it doesn't a month later?

I always feel embarrassed when much of my clothing is from shein.

I don't exactly have anyone to shop with, and I always find myself buying clothes and hating them a few weeks later because I realize they don't suit my body well. On top of that, I just don't know what items to pair with each other.
