Love at first sight is not always all it is cracked up to be.

It’s one of the first rules of a professional shoppers no list, yet we’ve all done it.

I know that I’ve done it Countless times.

It’s emotional shopping.

We see that item;

it could be a dress, a shoe, or a hand bag.

The minute we see it, it is all we see and it draws us from across the store like magic.

We want it, we have to have it!

It doesn’t matter how much it costs, or even if it fits us at times. We have lost all power of reason, because we are IN LOVE!

We buy the item, and take it home on some sort of unexplainable shoppers High.

Then a strange thing happens…

we don’t actually wear or use the item. Perhaps because we simply spent too much money on it and feel guilty.

Or we discover the item is not as wonderful as we thought it was. We don’t have anything to wear it with, or it doesn’t fit that well if at all.

The Honeymoon is over. We have Shoppers Remorse.

The moral of the story is always shop with a plan.

Know what you need to complete your wardrobe and try not to buy emotionally.

Yes, you should love everything you take home, but like a new relationship, go on a couple of dates first before you move in together.

Because, love at first sight is not always what it is cracked up to be!
