Before to waste my money on clothes I will never wear.

  • You will not grow so that your clothes fit. Unless you are on a weight loss/gaining program. In this specific case the need is to change your body, not your clothes.
  • It can look cool on you in the cabin, but it won’t necessarily outside if it does not fit your personality. Learning guitar and how to sing, and becoming a Rockstar are different things, aren’t they?
  • Ok-looking is not ok-to-buy. Nice looking neither. It fits perfectly or it doesn’t. You can go to another shop.
  • A wardrobe can be changed in one day, at a high cost. The way people see you takes longer — and is probably cheaper than short and expensive decisions.
  • The more expensive and the flashier, the least you will have the opportunity to wear it.
  • If the material feels cheap when touching it, it will not get better with time.
  • If the thread is loose, the button will not last. Even with polish on it.

More things you want to know about the mistakes I wouldn’t do anymore?
Let me know!
