Ask yourself the following questions before committing to a purchase. 

✔ Do I really NEED this? 

✔ If I simply WANT this product, why do I want it?

✔  Is this something I need to purchase right NOW? 

✔  Do I already own something like this? 

✔ Can I find something similar in a second hand or vintage store?

✔ Can I rent this item from a clothing rental business instead of purchasing it? 

✔ Will I wear it 30+ times? 

✔ Will it work with what I already have in my wardrobe, or will I have to consume more to 'complete the look'? 

✔ Am I going to be able to care for this garment correctly? (i.e hand washing or dry cleaning).

✔ If I buy this garment will my money be supporting an ethically considerate business? 

✔ Is this a good quality product?  

✔ Am I being swayed by a promotion or sale? Would I want this if it were full price? 

✔ Can I return this item if it doesn't suit me?
