Also, before buying an item of clothing, take a look at the fabric and seams. Are you going to need to dry clean it? (expensive) Is the garment well constructed? (cheap won't last) Does it look great on you, or just OK? (You are TOO PRETTY to wear stuff that just looks OK on you!!!) You are better off with 5 good outfits that look great on than 15 junky outfits that won't hold up and don't make you look great. Good tips!

We clean out our closets and then get together for a tryon and swap. What ever is left over gets donated. I usually get two or three things that I like while getting rid of things I don't wear any more. And it is a fun get togetherl.

Her 70/30 rule it totally on point. I believe in buying more classis pieces because they look great over time. I feel like I get more bang for my buck with classic clothing items. I don't mind shopping out of season, (looking for sweaters in July) or shopping online in the clearance categories, that always helps. Great guest blogger Frugalista!!
