Turn up the B.A.S.E.

 Did I just buy the right items? 

My two best friends...Stacy London and Clinton Kelley, came out with this amazing system for shopping for clothes, shoes and anything fashion-related. It was featured on the last episode of What Not to Wear.
In case you missed it, here it is...


B is for body. Make sure that whatever I am trying on looks good on my body.
A is for age. Am I too old for this item or too young? (I wish).
S is for situation. That ballgown is amazing but am I going to ball soon? Maybe I should buy some jeans instead!
E is for expense. Will this item pay for itself in its "cost per use" value?

I am going to start to ask myself these questions when I shop.
Maybe I will buy less impulsive items (sorry ballgown)

Are there additional guidelines you follow when shopping?
