  4. Don’t buy fads
  5. Be honest with yourself
  6. Buy in quantity
  7. Repeat a smashing success
  8. Don’t spotlight your feet
  9. Replace something you love
  10. If you make a mistake. Don’t worry. You’re only human. Keep all your sales slips, and return immediately any item you’re sorry you bought. But before you go back to the store, analyze why the piece doesn’t work. (If the color was off, take along the item you were trying to match.) Making mistakes helps you realize which things are wrong for you and you’ll become a wiser shopper.
