\u201cI need to go shopping!\u201d said every woman, ever. We\u2019ve all said or heard it, and we all know that when it comes to clothes, the word \u2018need\u2019 is grossly overused. So how to tell the difference between wanting to treat yourself to something cute and an actual need for new clothing? Let\u2019s visit a few scenarios where \u2018need\u2019 might actually be used in the literal sense.<\/p>\n

1. It\u2019s Easier to Dress for Halloween<\/h2>\n

Go-go boots? No problem. Sequins and feathers? You\u2019ve got plenty. While your Halloween game may be as strong as Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 90\u2019s, you\u2019ve still got 364 other days to worry about. It\u2019s totally fine to keep some stellar statement pieces tucked away in your closet, but try relegating them to under 1\/10th of your sartorial collection. Once you\u2019ve cleared away the baubles, it\u2019s time to work in some new goodies for those days that don\u2019t require a costume.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

2. Your Friends Won\u2019t Borrow Your Clothes<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s try a little test, shall we? Invite your most stylish friend over and offer her full access to your closet. If she politely declines or tries to change the subject, it\u2019s time to upgrade. The more uncomfortable she is, the faster you should run, don\u2019t walk, to the nearest mall. If you\u2019re not quite sure where to start, bribe your friend with churros to come with you. Works every time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

3. You\u2019re Twinning With Your Pre-Teen Niece<\/h2>\n

Sure, twinning is in, but dressing identically to someone who has yet to pass her driving test? Not so much. While keeping a youthful attitude is something to be applauded, your wardrobe should reflect a general age range \u2013 yours! If you can spot every piece you own at a One Direction concert, you might be ready to work in a few new items.<\/p>\n

4. Your Shirt Has Its Own Twitter Account<\/h2>\n

If you wear the same article of clothing too often, there\u2019s a chance people might end up knowing you more by your shirt than anything else. And when your shirt is more famous than you are, that means it\u2019s time to expand your regular outfit rotation. Here\u2019s a great rule of thumb: if your shirt is in more than three of your social media profile photos, it\u2019s time to swap in a few new options.<\/p>\n

5. Climbing Kilimanjaro Is Easier Than Getting Dressed<\/h2>\n

If getting dressed in the morning feels like climbing a mountain, it\u2019s time to rethink the process. Aside from lack of coffee, the culprit to sartorial stuckness can often be not having the right items for your everyday routines. Work at an office? A new blazer can suddenly make a camisole work-appropriate. Meeting friends for brunch? Pair that cami with a new maxi skirt, and you\u2019ve got a totally different outfit. Bring on Kilimanjaro, you\u2019ve now got the outfit for it!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

6. You Wore Your Nicest Dress to Prom<\/h2>\n

While that pink one-shoulder tulle gown may have scored you a slow dance with the cutest boy in school, it might not work the same magic at a wedding or cocktail party. Say sayonara to \u2018Prom Queen\u2019 and hello to \u2018Best Dressed\u2019 by kissing that prom dress goodbye and scoping out a\u00a0sizzling LBD. Not only are you set for any last minute events, but the jaws will hit the floor at your next high school reunion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

7. You Have Nothing to Wear<\/h2>\n

Your bedroom looks like an atomic bomb went off, with garments strewn across the floor in a fit of desperation. You\u2019re sitting in the middle of a large pile of clothes, lamenting that you have nothing to wear. Sound familiar? You\u2019re not alone! While you obviously have the ability to clothe yourself from the piles of despair that surround you, they\u2019re just not the right clothes. So what do you do? Ditch those suckers for some snazzy basics you\u2019ll want to wear over and over again.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

8. People Think You Own One Pair of Pants<\/h2>\n

Keeping a uniform a la Steve Jobs is definitely efficient. Having to explain to everyone that no, you don\u2019t just own one pair of pants but several pairs in the same style and color, is not quite as efficient. Adding a few new pairs to your wardrobe should help keep those rumors at bay. Which means you can get back to being the visionary you truly are.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Is This You?<\/h2>\n

Being guilty of one of these signs doesn\u2019t necessarily require a total wardrobe overhaul. If you find yourself identifying with more than a handful, however, it might be time to whip out the plastic. Luckily, there are worse things in life than treating yourself to a little something-something every now and then!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
