How to: dress for shopping

With any kind of shopping outing, it holds potential for the daunting action of the fitting room process.  If you're like me, you'd want to wear an outfit that maximizes the ease of taking off and putting on clothes in the most efficient manner. Therefore, I have a few considerations when I know that I'll be trying on clothes:

1. Ease up on the layers- Why would you want to subject yourself to having to take off a tank top, t-shirt, vest, and sweater just to try on one shirt?
2. Forget the accessories- Fumbling with a belt is a waste of time! And wearing jewellery that doesn't match whatever your trying might throw off your perception of the piece.
3. Wear thin clothes- If you get super lazy and don't even wanna bother changing, if you wear something like leggings, you can actually pull a pair of bottoms over them. It saves so much time and effort! 
4. Equip yourself with good shoes- This means shoes for long-distance walking and shoes that don't take a million buckles and ties to put on.

Doing the opposite of these things can also work in your favour though. If I want to save money and prevent myself from trying things on (which almost always leads to a purchase), laziness and unwillingness to take the time and effort in a fitting room counteracts the desire to shop. In theory.
