HOW TO STOP SHOPPING | Low Buy Tips

#stopshopping #howtoshopshopping #shopaholic

I've always wanted to have a wardrobe I love but realized I wasn't really taking any productive steps to get there. So I asked myself a few questions to better understand my relationship with shopping and what motivates my purchases. Knowing why I shop, when I shop, and what I'm avoiding my shopping helped me realize I have to stop shopping and be more thoughtful about my purchases in order to get closer to my goal.

I'll be making a mini series where I talk about other things I've done to point me in the right direction, like closet declutter, starting with a good base of closet essentials, and how to do less buying and more styling.

Are you trying to stop shopping too? What do you ask yourself before you buy to make sure your purchase is intentional? Let me know in the comments!

I only have 40 pieces of clothing (all thrifted). Everything fits and I enjoy wearing it all. I don't enjoy shopping in general and so I keep a list of what I actually NEED and only shop for the items in the list.
