Have you ever walked into a shop and seen a pair of shoes that simply look great? You may not even have been thinking about buying shoes when you made your way into that shop, but you find yourself leaving with them. Most of us have experience of impulse buys.
They aren't necessarily a problem, although they can be expensive! They can become an issue, of course, if you get home and find that your lovely new pair of shoes really don't work well with any other items of clothing that you own. This basically means that you'll never get to wear your new footwear, or that you'll have to spend money on clothing to match the shoes.
Either way, this may not be seen as being an ideal situation. It can be particularly problematic for those who have a fairly restricted budget. So what options are open to you? Is it realistic to think that you'll be able to avoid making such spur of the moment decisions in future?
Buying shoes, or other accessories, needn't cause an issue. The golden rule is to think about your clothes and sense of style before you buy. Ideally, you should be aiming to buy accessories that will suit clothes that you already own. This may seem impossible!
The real trick is to aim for pieces that are relatively timeless. There are classic watches, ties and pieces of jewellery that are likely to remain fashionable for many years to come. Remember that items in black or white tend to stay fashionable for longer periods of time. The classic men's black suit is a great example of this.
You may also be thinking that buying in this way might take much of the fun out of the process. Although there may be some danger of this, there's certainly added pleasure in finding that your new purchase will work well with many different items that you own. The alternative, which might be to face considerable expense and inconvenience, may suddenly appear much less fun by comparison.
It's all about having the right mindset. Once you realise that this way of shopping works well, you'll find that you do it automatically. As a result, you'll end up with a range of accessories that actually match your clothes. Try it and you may be surprised! It can be a positive, liberating experience.
Getting accessories that help to make your clothes look better will also ensure that you feel better as a result.
