When I look through all my old stuff, I can spot them -- the mistakes I made in buying things. Pants that look horrible on me. A rain jacket I only wore once. A pair of shoes that I no longer like.
I hate making mistakes because it is like throwing money out of a moving vehicle. Such a waste. But yet, they are part of the evolving wardrobe. Everyone makes mistakes, at least, I hope I'm not the only one.
Right now, I'm beating myself up for buying something stupid last week that I can't return. Why didn't I slow down and think about it? Why was I in such a hurry? Spontaneity can lead to trouble, yet other times it is a powerful creative force.
Why not take your "mistakes" and have a consignment shop sell them for you? Or eBay them? For most people, even if their shopping excursions are successful, they don't wear their clothing beyond one season.
I don't think that I've made that many shopping mistakes, I'm just in need of more opportunities to get dressed up to go out. Or a job where I only have to look nice and not have to haul heavy stuff about. And I think that my nieces will eventually enjoy some of my clothing collection.
i tend to dress properly for my age. my mom wants me to dress like john travolta. i am old but very fit. several female friends told me the same thing wear form fitting clothes, but i am very old fashioned. the modesty thing.
My mistake is that I buy things I like, not that look good on me. I have many shirts that are better suited for framing as art... when I wear them I look like a dork

Yes, I'm probably going to do this after all my relatives clear out of town and I get my life back...Good idea!
I once met a woman who swore that she always bought the right things and wore everything she bought. I found her statement really pompous and irritating.
The way I look at it, mistakes are a natural part of the shopping process as our tastes evolve and change. Agreed?
Oh the worst mistake I ever made (there have been many) but the WORST was I purchased not one but two polka-dotted suits. One was turquiose with black polka-dots and the other light pink with black polka-dots..... What was I thinking???
I think we all make mistakes in buying One piece of advice that has helped me some is that when I buy things on sale I try and think to myself is would I buy this if it wasn't on sale??? I realized in the past I had bought things that were cheap and then I never ever wore them which is no bargain at all
