Fashion Cents
I was recently looking for something new to wear, without having to spend any money. I know that sounds crazy but I was able to do it. I took my own frugal fashion advice.
FASHION ADVICE: Shop your own closet. Dig in the back and pull out those long lost items. Pair them with something unexpected that’s also already in your closet!
I didn’t have to look too far in the back of the closet. I had a brown pair of pants that I found on sale at Target. They are very comfortable and are a great fit.

I grabbed an orange and beige cowl turtleneck that I had received as a gift and paired that with the pants.

It was freezing cold outside so the short sleeve sweater wasn’t going to cut it for me. Enter, from the back of the closet, an orange jacket I purchased *on sale* an entire year ago.

My nice little bonus was that it was almost the exact same color as the turtleneck. Score one new outfit for Mari. Cost? ZIP!
So let’s recap: Two items purchased on sale + one gift = items never paired together before = one new outfit that garnered quite a few compliments.

SCORE!!

Great outfit!!! I accidentally shopped my closet the other day and found a set of three Nike pink wrist bands, all with a pop out to interchange a stopwatch! Made me want to go and work out.

It is useful to try everything in practice anyway and I like that here it’s always possible to find something new.

Just last Sunday I shopped my closet and discovered a pair of brown slacks that I hadn’t worn in quite a while and was able to pair them with a cute top. I love it when I can piece together a new look without spending a cent.
