Behavioral disturbance with budgetary resonance often underestimated, the compulsive shopping reveals all its problematic dimension when it appears daily before our eyes, in this dressing room which, despite its pecuniary value, at the paces of changing room of influencer than of deposit-sale Emmaus . An accumulation of textile pieces more or less ordered in sum which, despite common sense and their first functionality, remains the clearest of the time hidden in this enclosed space instead of being simply worn. Basically, we buy clothes, they are arranged ... and never wears them. A little guide to get rid of the most commonly shared fashion monomania.
- Shopping without CB
To great ills, great remedies. Are you physically (and especially mentally) unable to spend half a Swedish SMIC as soon as you step into the entrance to a Zara? So do not go unless you have no means of payment, including a wooden check. If you really like a piece (but then really) a lot and you can swear on the head of Garance Doré that you will wear it effectively, then nothing prevents you from making a short trip to the marital home and precious Graal named CB. If laziness takes hold of your body, it is because this little dress lamée is not worth the blow.
- Limit purchases online
Nothing worse than zieuter from the end of his trackpad the digital lanes of Asos or Net-to-Porter . Everything is beautiful, everything is millimeter: perfectly shooted clothes are worn by girls perfectly photoshoped and the few figures that appear between the words "basket" and "euros" seem to us completely disconnected from any potential banking reality. Three weeks later and a few galleys in Point Relay later, we find ourselves with a tiny parcel of a cloth of which we had not only forgotten the existence but which, moreover, does not resemble in any way the photo ( not contractual ) of the site visited. A mirage mirage in short that has the gift of stimulating all the irrational dimension of that part of our body that is commonly called brain and that we must therefore avoid approaching too closely.
- Pass the test of fitting
The evil is done: you succumbed to the magnetic appeal of jeans patchwork, golden mules or even the sequined jacket. Instead of a self-flagellation session, a fitting session is carried out, at home, in peace, with the entirety of its cloakroom at disposal. The goal ? Find at least one outfit that incorporates one of the pieces in dispute. In the event of failure of the exercise, one resolves to bring it back to the shop, by exchange or refund. Do not lie, we know: no sign will oblige you to keep it.
- Stop lying
Behind this laconic injunction, which would be placed a priori less in a fashion article than a psycho subject, there is actually a desire to guide you towards certain principles of realism. In other words, in a compulsive buying situation, quickly sweep away your outfit and, incidentally, those of the previous days, and feel with clear-sightedness and honesty whether or not the garment you have in your hand has any stylistic relationship with those sayings, outfits. The idea? The more it will be in step with your style, the more likely it will not die at the top of the shelf with the tag still hanging. A simple technique that requires a lot of rationality, a quality rarely stimulated in a ready-to-wear shop.
- Skip the step
As Lao Tzu so well said, "a journey of a thousand leagues always begins with a first step." In other words, to start a love story with your new purchase, you have to tear off the label, throw away the receipt and wear it without hesitation, preferably within a week. The ice broken, the prejudices disappeared, it will be more than eased to wear this biker suit or this pink palazzo . Everything is a question of will.
