August 27, 2015

Fall is around the corner and for many, the highlight of the season is Fall fashion. You shouldn’t have to sacrifice your budget, fashion originality to refresh your fall wardrobe. Here are the major reasons why you should head to your local thrift stores, clothing stores, and consignment shops to fill your wardrobe gaps for Fall.

Shopping second hand can inspire you to plan purchases and shop with intention.

If there is an item on your wishlist that you want to purchase, it may take me a couple of trips before you find it in a thrift store. Shopping with a plan in mind is key to avoid getting distracted or overbuying because you can afford to purchase more volume for a lower cost. Evaluate your current fall wardrobe and make a wish list of items you’d like to add or pieces you need to replace. Set a budget and shop intentionally with your wish list and budget in mind. Capsule wardrobes aren’t just for minimalists and they can be an strategic way to hone your style, shop within your budget and purge your closet of items that no longer fit your lifestyle or current size.
