My Search List

I've been making too many mistakes of buying items just because they were on sale.... They took up space and were a waste of time/ money. I was reminded over and over, "discount is cheap, but not buying, is cheaper."  I have to save up money from buying mediocre clothes, to purchase one timeless piece. Therefore I am creating this list to remind me what I am really searching for at this moment.

I am still open to buying things that are outside the list ;  However, I won't settle on "it's cute" or "It can work." I only buy it because it's gorgeous.


我過去常買一件衣服因為它在打折....浪費空間, 時間和金錢. 提醒自己 "打折很便宜, 不買更便宜." 與其買些普通然後不久我就會厭倦的東西, 不如把錢省下來好好地買樣可以永遠陪著我的好物. 所以我寫下這個購物單, 提醒自己我到底需要些什麼. 當然我還是可以買清單以外的東西, 但有一個原則; "如果我沒有立刻地愛上它, 我就不買."
