1. Too many one-off pieces

[{"selector":"#anim-a4894e34-1603-4e8e-9390-26a4b03a3cfd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d502adb2-283a-4aaf-99ab-39a093f3f2b1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 259.41034%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cac4fc20-407d-463d-9069-0b4cdadd9129","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7e37962b-333b-4664-b443-dc0c11a0177b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 200.28491%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Instead of stocking up on items you can mix and match, you're buying one-off pieces that don't work with your current wardrobe.

The fix

[{"selector":"#anim-68a42d41-b0ed-43f8-9309-a67219bffd24","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-eb0573da-c811-4989-92e0-25ff8024e74f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-118.82354%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9e5dbd54-4836-49d6-89bb-849b512edff4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0c5ddb34-7b91-4b7e-8cb3-4a4c2b66ea96","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.72475%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Refrain from impulse purchases and only buy something if you know you can make the item work with 2-3 pieces in your closet.

2. Aspirational purchases

[{"selector":"#anim-f7316dfa-27ab-43fc-a9f9-fc3766396132","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-654f15f7-550e-47a1-b091-2dcfcf98fff1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 293.48670%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b9c3a2b0-3f48-43d8-b6d1-19e43019538f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-60b41382-456d-49d5-962f-dec382055744","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 256.16719%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] If it doesn't fit now, don't buy it! And if you don't have any occasion to wear it to, don't buy it.

The fix

[{"selector":"#anim-ebb1ee49-c30d-4edb-9bcb-a2c5a0839cbb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-681c66b0-a50e-4e42-a7a1-f794a555952a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-121.2%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":250,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bfac9518-65d3-42f3-b4c0-9d25c5c81129","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6d321408-c3a8-4caf-ba2f-8f82b6b967ca","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-118.53147%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Buy for your current size and lifestyle needs. if you don't need a bunch of cocktail dresses, stop buying them.

3. Ignoring your climate

[{"selector":"#anim-51322bf2-fa6a-49e0-b1ec-bc74457bba68","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d9456047-9a17-460c-ac2c-6ee135b50ee8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.72475%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b2f5ccc6-1ca4-4377-b646-1b9f85d72ff6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2b7352fd-b1bc-4ec8-946f-b5573dd6bf53","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-118.82354%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Where you live is going to dictate a lot of your wardrobe choices and should accurately reflect that

The fix

[{"selector":"#anim-8cf6d9b5-cbe7-4e98-99d3-4c4fcdc462f7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4def7581-9da8-4fca-ae42-5d9af94032de","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 198.16728%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1c0be821-7df6-432c-8b9d-9c32cd154280","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2e6fbdda-ce71-4ba9-bd4a-1f8716836e34","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 484.44481%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] If you live somewhere cold, your wardrobe should reflect that. Conversely, if where you live it's warm year-round, there's no reason to buy new boots and coats year after year.

4. Not enough basics

[{"selector":"#anim-b57eff1a-0159-4bf8-ab96-c94b5a00957d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-55f9137a-5929-4757-8705-7890395e2804","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.72475%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8feb821e-bd6f-4431-b7d2-fe0ab049dde7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-da317cb5-f445-45f4-8a85-6be4ae26ba62","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.45455%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Buying the latest fashion trends is fun, but for a functional wardrobe you need to own plenty of quality basics.
