Tips & Warnings
Avoid purchasing clothes that do not match anything you currently own. They will either require additional purchases or hang unworn in your closet. It is best to invest that money on pieces that will function well with your existing wardrobe or save until you have enough money to buy a piece that will match the garment in question.
Use accessories to dress your wardrobe up and/or down. These are relatively inexpensive and can add a bright spot of color or that little extra sparkle to your outfit taking it from work to a night out with style.
