Clothing (Wise Money Tips)

This economy is up and down. Something tells me to buckle down for the long haul. However, just because we may have to stretch our budgets we still what to feel and look good.

1) Before you go on a shopping trip, review the items in your closets/dresser drawers and take an inventory.

2) Place the following based on size, color, and style: belts, blazers, blouses, coats, jackets, shirts, skirts, pants, and suits.

3) Once you have worn an item and washed/dry cleaned, try to place it in a specific section so you can rotate it. For instance, darker colors like midnight blue, brown, and midnight black can be mixed and matched weekly and paired with lighter colors like beige, ivory, and light pink.

4) Establish a monthly/quarterly budget for clothing and accessories.

5) Read the labels for caring for your clothes-not all items need to be dry cleaned which can save money in the long run.
