How to shop better: a tip for you

I believe we can all learn how to shop smartly, and here is one idea for you to try:

Don't shy away from occasional visits to high-end stores. Feel the materials and study the finishes and details intensely.

The other day, I found myself in a local second-hand shop, meticulously examining a beautifully made Celine jacket that wasn't even on my shopping list.

Through these experiences, we learn to appreciate the quality and value when shopping for clothes. Always look for the best quality you can afford, especially for staple pieces like jackets meant to last.

Also, don't underestimate the potential of second-hand shops. They can be a good place to find top-quality apparel at much more affordable prices. 

Have you ever done this before? Let me know in the comments.
