Or, as the French say, a "coup de coeur". –Susan in SLC
Definitely one to remember! ;-)
I like that. Everything is right so rarely….Great advice.
Maybe the opposite of coup de coeur. I don't try to justify anymore. For me, if the colour, fit, size or form isn't exactly what I know will play well in my wardrobe, it'll have to stay in the store. LOL life is too short to not defend your standards. Even if it's on sale.

I just took a picture of this with my phone…now I can look at it before I buy!! Thanks, Janice!!
You are one smart woman. Thanks for sharing this.
As always, you have distilled so much wisdom in your mnemonic. Also, do not buy when you are not right with •yourself•- bored, sad, lonely, upset or unwell.
So then…
POWER = yes
HALT = no (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired)
So true! Also, the A can stand for Anxious…
Many thanks to you, I have become quite adept at returning…….I do that much more than I keep purchases. When I do keep an item, I am amazed. These day,s the quality and difficulty with shopping online (color and fit) makes instant gratification a thing of the past. Patience is the real key to achieving a good wardrobe.
Warmly, Kathleen
My new mantra and something to remember when I am looking at myself in the changing room mirror.
