MONEY SAVERS...

On that same note..... here are some quick $$$$ saving tips to help extend your wardrobe with out spending a dime!

1) Break up any suit or jacket dress combo sets.  Each piece should have its own life.
2) Mix dressy and casual.  Throwing on a piece of special occasion jewelry really glams up basics.
3)Color combos.  Play with mixing new colors.  Try soft pastels with strong jewel tones.
4)Create new looks.  Try mixing ladylike with sexy or menswear inspired with feminine.
5) Reinvent a garment.  A dress becomes a top with jeans or a long top becomes a dress w/ tights.
6) Show contrast.  Mix flirty with tailored or urban rocker with sugar sweet.
7) Mix seasons.  As the weather changes adjust each piece. Blazers become jackets and lightweight clothes get worn with more substantial pieces.

Break free of the "rules"and start creating entirely new ensembles while spending nothing.  The only things needed are an open mind, some time and a refreshing beverage of your choice!
HAVE FUN :)

  1. Okay... i have to admit it... these are pretty good ideas. It also explains why I saw you in a pink skort and men's tuxedo jacket with a pair of leg warmers tied into some sort of pseudo tube top.
