Buyer's Remorse BE GONE!

So we've talked about a lot lately about still having the freedom to shop even in the midst of this recession but we are realistic at the same time. We know that even with all the smart shopping, organizing, reevaluating and penny pinching, when you go out on a spree sometimes a few hours later the guilt sets in. Buyer's Remorse! We've all bee there; 'Do I really need this?' 'Did it really look good on me?' 'Do I have anything to wear this with?'

All the previous exercises we've gone through have now assured that the answers to all those questions are yes. If that doesn't help and the baddy thoughts are still there here is a new way to start to look at your purchases;

Let's say you buy a nice warm coat that costs you €275. Now, judging by the cool Irish weather let's say you wear that coat 3 mornings a week to work starting from the second week in October through the end of March. That is 72 uses right there. That is around €3.80 for each use. Don't you think you're OK with spending that to keep you warm and cozy each morning on your way out the door? I buy fashion mags that cost more than that!! This gorge wool-blend coat from Juicy Coture could be yours! A winter coat is easy to excuse, what about a purchase that seems a little more extravagant? Again, even a 90€ bottle of perfume usually has about 500 spritzes in it. A spritz a day until the bottle runs out ends up costing you €1.26 a week! Come on ladies, you can afford that!

Too cool to reuse? Hardly. Even Hollywood's more stylish (or shopping crazed) ladies re wear their fav items! Below see Paris Hilton, sister Niki and even fashion icon Rhianna re-wearing some pieces!
