The question we all want to know the answer to is, do I need to go shopping? The short answer is yes just because we love shopping but, sometimes it’s not needed and, other times it’s a must. In most cases, if we do need to shop it’s simply because our closets are missing the key essentials that allow it to be a functioning wardrobe.
Here are a few ways to know if you need to go shopping.
