Wardrobe Essentials to Save Money

 Trying to have style and save money is difficult for some women. There have been many times that I have looked in my closet and screamed, "I don't have anything to wear!!" So I have decided to help so many women save money, by using what they already have in their closet or spending very little. Ladies, I promise you will no longer hide your bags from your man, or pray that he doesn't notice that you have on something new. Possessing these basics will help you look great without breaking the bank.



1. Black blazer I can not say enough about having this small little piece in your wardrobe. You can wear it with pants, jeans, and skirts. You can wear it to work with a black skirt, or trousers, or you can top with a cute shirt and some jeans. Either way, you can constantly reuse this one piece to create a ton of great, fashionable outfits.


2.Your favorite tee I have this little black v-neck tee that I absolutely love. I wear it with my jeans, any color skirt, and even some grey dress pants. It was a point in time that I was wearing this t-shirt every week. But the outfits looked so different that no one could even tell. I could easily throw a light jacket or a cardigan over it to change the look. In addition, I could spice it up with some accessories (costume jewelry that cost next to nothing) and dress it up or dress it down. Having that basic tee is versatile, yet easy on the pocketbooks.


3. Little Black Dress A friend suggested that I have a little black dress in my wardrobe. So I bought it and wow! It has made a world of difference in my life! I wear it to work, to church, and even for a night out on the town. All I do is add scarf, or a jacket, or a cute pair of pumps to it. I can wear it with a cardigan, a different color belt, a pair of flats, or my favorite red peep-toe heels. However, you must be careful when purchasing your LBD. You want it to be cute and fitting enough where it is flattering for your shape, but you also want to be able to wear it as much as possible without people noticing as much. Therefore, it must not have an unique designs, ruffles, or accent colors. Be careful of any noticeable characteristics. If you found that perfect dress and it has something amazingly special about it, make sure that you can cover it up when you don't want that part to show.



4. Basic White Blouse This is a closet must! You will get a ridiculous amount of use out of this piece. Of course, you can wear it with our without a blazer, with pants, and with skirts. Also, because white is such a basic color, you can wear it pretty much as often as you like. Also, you can roll up the sleeves or under a sweater to give it a stylish flare.


5. A Good Pair of Black Pumps What more needs to be said?? Pumps has height, and also had a bit of sexiness to any outfit. Pumps accentuate the legs and look great on anyone. A pair of black pumps can be worn with that skirt suit you wear to work, a nice pair of dress pants, and even a pair of dressy crop pants.

6. Basic Cardigan. Cardigans are so popular because you can dress them up or down any way you like. Most of other items on my list can be nicely accompanied by a cardigan. It is appropriate for a daytime look, nighttime or work look.



These are just basics that I feel will never go out of style. Add these (and a few others) to your wardrobe and you will see how you can get your money's worth while looking great!
