Get the General Shopmug. Shopping Theory is the concept that applies to both life in general and shopping itself. If you’re certain of something, you just know. If you see something you absolutely love, you won’t even look at the price tag because you know you want it. If you question it at all, even if it’s on clearance, put it back - you don’t need it. Same goes for everyday life decisions; if you question it you can do without. When you know, you know.
I found a dress that was on clearance but after trying it on and shifting around I couldnt make up my mind if I needed it; because I questioned I applied Shopping Theory and put it back despite the sale price.

It involves making snap judgments about the appearance of members of the same sex, e.g. clothes, hair style, build, accessories etc. The identity shopper then copies the appearance of people they like the look of, and so feel much better about themselves. Until they see someone better looking, then they copy them, and so on.
Over time, this cycle raises the standards of dress for a large part of the population which is why people in cities always look so much hotter.
