Let’s admit it - everyone will have made a poor fashion purchase decision at some point of their life.

Never intentional, although it is very likely you have hanging or folded in your wardrobe an item that you have never worn or worn once and do not plan to wear again.

Do not beat yourself up, because I am here to tell you as a stylist I also put my hand up and claim a few very poor decisions. Often they come from the following; invited to an event or an occasion and rush out to purchase “something”, not really sure what, although just “something”. Or you have purchased online not really certain how it will fit or look, and it arrives, it is not perfect, and you do not take the time to return it. Or you are in the mood to shop, determined to buy and do try on in store, and it is not quite right - guess what - it does not get better at home. Sometimes it can be as simple as wearing it and realising it does not sit right, its too revealing, its too transparent, its neckline does not suit your body shape - you get the picture, many reasons why an item does not cut it.

Put that decision behind you - remove that item from your wardrobe and either gift it to a friend, donate it to charity, or take the the time to sell it on a second hand website. Don’t hang onto it, hoping it will get better.

My recommendation is to keep the tag on an item once home, try on, move around, sit down and then if you are loving it - wear it. Otherwise it is not too late to return it and get your money back.
