Shop Your Closet – Back to Basics
- Created on 25 April 2013
The Shop Your Closet challenge has reached the final week. To round out your challenge, we’d like you to focus on the basics. You have organized your space, identified reusable accessories, and spiced up your look with a pop of color; now tie it all together with great staple classics!
I’ve been shopping in my closet along with you. For Money Smart Week, I was able to incorporate a chocolate sweater coat left by my mother. This one piece added a little pizzazz that was missing without hitting the mall. While the spring weather may leave something to be desired, I have a great coordinate set in mind that I can pull out for our appearance on Good Day Chicago (Fox 12) this Monday. Shopping in my closet has been very fruitful this month.

I’m going to let you in on a little secret: probably 85% of my wardrobe was purchased at a thrift shop: Goodwill, Salvation Army or a local consignment shop. I buy undergarments and shoes new. Almost everything else comes from a thrift shop. It supports my ecological, environmental or “green” goals of keeping things from landfills, and it saves me buckets of money.
It’s possible to look professional and stylish without spending a fortune. But like anything worth having, you have to be creative, understand what it is you hope to achieve and build upon a strong foundation.
