I’ve recently been invited to a few Summer parties and events. My extravagant self would use this excuse to buy something new for each event but my frugal self won the battle. It told me to “GO SHOP YOUR CLOSET”!!!
Now granted, I have A LOT in my closet to shop! Some key rules I have kept in mind while building my closet are to stay within a color pallet (mine is black), add a pop of color that I feel comfortable with (mine is usually teal), buy what I like (I like clean lines) and do not buy trendy clothing.
Keeping these tips in mind has been very useful. I never have a problem packing since everything coordinates (limiting my choices is the only problem) and putting together a new outfit is easy also. If you MUST buy something new consider adding a funky or colorful accessory to liven things up. It’s not a huge investment and it goes a long way in updating something you may not think is “in style”.
