Take Charge of your Wardrobe
By Angela Marshall, 5th Jan 2011With the cost of clothes going up as well as everyday expenses it is difficult to have a wardrobe of clothes that suits your budget. Yet it is vital to also look your best for work as well as your social life. By understanding some key points you will achieve a great wardrobe on a budget.
5 Tips on What to Avoid:
- Stop overspending on items you do not need
- Buying clothes off the cuff, know what you need and plan your wardrobe
- Buying clothes that you do not wear and just sit in your wardrobe.
- Paying for clothes you cannot afford, paying on credit and being charged interest.
- Buying too much of the same items from the same shops.
To look good you do not have to spend lots of money. The key is to identify what you need and where and when to go for items. Understand what suit you, your colouring and fits in with your budget. Often you can get great bargains either in the High Street or online shopping.

Quote: Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein,
I’m old enough to remember the ‘2 colour rule’ – beyond black and white, only buy clothes in 2 colours, that way, there’ll not the be the problem of ‘oh, that jacket doesn’t match anything I have’ therefore, I have to spend bucket loads to buy items that match the new jacket. I also follow the ‘2 year rule’, ‘if you’ve not worn it in 2 years, you’re unlikely to ever wear it – bin it’.
