I am often asked how much money is needed to buy a new wardrobe. I believe that with a little effort you can look great on any budget. All you need are the right tips and tricks.
1. Make the most of what you already have. Before you head to the mall, start by shopping in your closet. Take a mental inventory of what you own. Ask yourself how you can wear what you have more? Are you breaking up your suit to wear as three different outfits? Could the dress you bought for a special event look more casual with a simple change of accessories? Is your closet neat and organized so you know exactly what you have and where it is? The simple act of being more aware of what you have will help you discover the infinite possibilities your closet holds.
2. Step out of your shopping box. With so many retailers dedicated to our shopping pleasure, you can find anything you need at any price point. Step outside of your usual shopping habits and hit new and different stores. Try discount stores like TJMaxx or Marshalls. With a little patience you can find great designer pieces for a lot less.
3. Change up your accessories. Accessories can completely change the look of an outfit. Accessories are a fun way to add color, participate in a trend, or add versatility to your wardrobe. Try on your favorite outfit and then change a layer, your shoes, or jewelry for a completely different look.
4. Host a clothing swap party. Swap clothing with your friends. A clothing swap is a great way to get new wardrobe pieces and helps you create more room in your own closet. Not to mention a clothing swap is a great excuse for a party and is an environmentally friendly activity!
5. What’s old can once again be new. With the help of a great tailor you can turn your old clothing into something fabulous and new. Shorten a long frumpy skirt into a knee length wardrobe staple. Get a great shirt just by taking in the seams for a better fit. Modernize an old jacket just by adding belt loops and shortening the length. A great tailor can help you turn your favorite pieces into one of a kind looks.

More often than not, each piece of your brand image was created when you needed it, but not altogether in a strategic fashion. Your image may look fine, but does fine help you grow?
Eventually as you scale, your image foundation cracks, and the way your business presents itself no longer helps propel growth – costing you time and money to fix.
When you unlock your brand power, you get to pick and choose how people perceive you and your brand.
Our Image Mastery System™ takes the 5 key brand components that you already have and ties them together in a way that amplifies your results and achieves your vision.
