Inventory Everything You Own
Take all clothing out of drawers, and all hangers out of the closet. Spread them out on every available surface. Note what you have and what you need. Seeing all your clothes laid out and visible will inspire you to create new outfits from what you already have.
Hit Up Cheap Stores for Staples
Everyone needs basic tank tops, underwear, bras, panties and the like. Stores like Target and Wal-Mart are great places to stock up on these wardrobe stapes for very cheap. When they become worn, toss them out and buy fresh stuff.
Know Where to Hunt for Treasure
To find some real designer treasures on the cheap, try searching at retailers like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, or Century 21. Build up your stamina before you head in, because it takes some energy to find gold. Remember, however, that sometimes you’ll find the items of your dreams, and sometimes you will walk away empty-handed. It’s a toss-up, because they get their wares from all over and the good stuff goes fast.
