Taking stock of what you own, when done correctly and thoroughly, helps dampen the urge to shop frivolously.

We all get a little rush of excitement at the prospect of buying a brand-new outfit for a first date, but this is not the time. You're much better off wearing clothes, shoes especially, that you've already tested.
