If that’s the case, I’d honestly remove it from your cart.
Sure, if you can afford to buy new items that you can only wear a couple of times, that’s fine. Most of us, though, should try to stretch our clothing investments out longer than that.
The goal is to style a new piece in more than one way. That’s the key to justifying a purchase in my mind.

This final question can be a doozy, but it’s also a real eye-opener. With shopping platforms literally built into social media apps nowadays, it’s almost too easy to spot a clothing trend and immediately hop on the bandwagon.
Yet, you must keep in mind that trends rise in popularity rapidly and fade even faster. There’s no point in trying to keep up, so you should only invest in a new item if you genuinely like it and would continue wearing it, even after the trend is long over.
