How to have an amazing Spring Wardrobe...Without Breaking the Bank!



If you’re like me sometimes you open up your closet or dresser in the morning and sigh with disdain completely convinced that you have nothing to wear. Here are some tricks and idea’s to help you brighten your wardrobe without spending your life’s savings.

1) Have a Switch & B*#$@ with your friends.
Your greatest fashion resources are your friends, pick an night where everyone can get together to swap clothes. Not only is this option free of charge but you get ideas and inspirations from other peoples fashion styles as well as face time with your friends. Switching a few articles of clothing with your friends will add new pieces to your wardrobe for you to create new outfits - viola some fresh new looks!

2) Look for sales that advertise no less than 30% off

When perusing the mall or shops and you see a sale that says 10% to 15% off look the other way. These sales only technically save you the tax instead of a little extra. Try looking for sales that advertise 30% or more, saving yourself the tax plus a little more allows you to save money for another purchase or a little extra cash to put away for that top or dress that you absolutely cannot live without.

3) Compare Prices

You finally see the pair of shoes that will make your life complete, however they come with a massive price tag and if you buy them you might not eat for a few days. Before plunging into the purchase look around first. Go to other stores and see if they have the same style or something very similar for less. Better yet if you can hold out for a little longer you can research the shoes or product online for better deals. Or if you can wait the item in question may very well go on sale or clearance allowing you to snatch up the shoes of your dreams and a bargain as well.

4) Lost and found Vintage and secondhand treasures

It’s no new secret that vintage shops and second hand stores have clothing treasures and accessories untold. However why don’t we do it more often? When shopping consider checking out your local second hand store or vintage shop more often, they have hundreds of amazing finds that could freshen up your wardrobe for almost next to nothing out of pocket. As an additive yard and garage sales can also have many treasure just waiting to be found.

Hope some of these tips help you in your next shopping endeavors!
