But then, I suddenly have the thought of why would it matter if I am repeating my clothes. I am not a celebrity and I don’t have the mall’s whole department store for my closet as much as I wanted to. And though I am aiming to be a fashion blogger, I am merely starting and clothes are quite expensive even though I get most of mine from thrift stores. And to sum it all up, there’s nothing really wrong with wearing the same clothes again. 

I love each of my clothes and I bought them because I wanted and I can see myself wearing them over and over again for the longest time and I think that should be one of the biggest factors on why you will be buying your clothes aside from the price and comfortability. 

For this look, I just stole Dan’s worn out Panda graphic tee which he bought for 150 PHP at Culture Tee in SM Department Stores. I paired it with the light blue cullotes that I bought from a thrift shop for 150 PHP. I wore my favorite fishnet stockings and one of our best color block jacket which we got from an online thrift store. I wore 99 PHP socks from MUMUSO (just look at that cute heart!) and my white sneakers from Moderno Sense. 

And then we’re all set to conquer (or walk) the streets of Ortigas.

So, how do I decide whether to buy one piece of clothing or not? 

Here are the questions I answer myself before paying for that clothing. 

1. Is it something I would wear over and over again? 

It’s important very important for you to know if you are willing to wear that clothes over and over again until it wears out. This would only mean that piece you are holding and thinking of buying is one, comfortable and two, your style. 

2. Is it comfortable? 

Comfortability is something I think about all the time. If you can’t stand in that clothes for more than 10 minutes, toss it away. It’s not for you, dear. If your confidence goes down the drain with that piece, better put it back. You don’t need that. You need something that will make you feel you. Something that will boost your confidence and will empower you. 

3. Is it within my budget?

Well, I could dream of affording all these clothes I wanted but until that isn’t my reality, I have a budget I must comply with. Even though some of you might think that this should go first, I don’t really believe that since if I wanted this one top so much, I am willing to go over my budget on some extent. Given that it exceeded my first two questions above. 

How about you? What are the factors you are looking for before buying your clothes? I would definitely love to hear them, so leave them below! 

But in the end, no matter what you’re wearing as long as you wear it with confidence you’ll make it look priceless.
