Wardrobe ME Please!

So the warm weather is surely coming soon and I'm anxious to pack away my boots and tights, and excited about rearanging the closet and pulling out sandals and open toe pumps! Are you ready?

No, I don't plan to do much shopping because that's not in my budget. I am, however, able to update my wardrobe by mixing some things up.  Try adding a belt, lightweight scarf, or reinventing an old blouse by pairing it with something unexpected.  This simple trick gives me the feeling that I have gone shopping, or have added something new to my closet. Not quite as good as shopping, but close.

I'll tell you now, building a functional wardrobe is all about being a smart shopper. It takes time, but very little money, if you do it right.

If shopping is something you struggle with, let me help! I can teach you a lot about being a savvy budget shopper without having to compromise good taste and style. Or, perhaps you're one of those people with a ton a clothes but just can't figure out what to do with them. I can help with that too!  You may not need to go shopping, but may require a little assistance with turning your closet into a functioning wardrobe.

If interested in getting some assistance, let me know!  Shoot me an e-mail/fbook/or comment here.

I have personally embraced the kiwi because of the taste, plus it's a convenient snack. But, now my love for the kiwi has been placed on a higher level. Okay, that's a little extreme!
