There is a difference between wanting something and wanting to wear it. The first feeling is loud. The second lasts. We want to make clothes that earn their place after the first week.
Look at the fabric. Read the measurements. Ask what the price is paying for. If the answers do not work for you, leave it. An honest store should make that choice easier too.
Start with what you own. Repair what can be repaired. Add the piece that does a job nothing else does. Less, with a point of view.
