Jennifer highlights the importance of knowing one's personal style to avoid impulse buying clothes. She explains that confidence in one's style allows individuals to be more selective, easily identify pieces that do not suit them, and therefore refrain from purchasing items that will likely go unworn.
“When you're not confident in your style, you want to buy every beautiful piece that catches your eye, whether it suits you or not. However, once you fully know your style, you become a ruthless editor and you stop buying clothes you never wear.”
“It becomes easier to say no and walk away from pieces that don't work for you and your wardrobe. Knowing my style has taught me to say, That is a beautiful dress, but it's not for me. And to then walk away.”
