Hi friends! I hope Spring is starting wherever you are. Here in Minnesota the weather is still quite cold, but SOON things will change and I’m holding onto that. I’m looking forward to sunshine and green trees!

When it comes to your closet, keeping up with the latest trends can often feel like an expensive endeavor. However, revamping your wardrobe doesn’t always have to come with a hefty price tag. With a little creativity and resourcefulness, you can breathe new life into your closet without breaking the bank. In this blog post, I’m going to teach you how to revamp your wardrobe on a budget.

Let’s get into it!

Shop Your Closet

Before rushing to the stores or jumping online, take some time to explore your own wardrobe. You’d be surprised at the hidden gems you might find buried in the back of your closet. Mix and match different pieces to create new outfits and experiment with different pieces.

Better yet, let’s take the overwhelm out of your closet! I can help you make the most of what you already have with a virtual styling session! I’ll help you weed out what’s not working by focusing on what is working and pieces that are seasonless and classic. We will discuss what makes a key piece, identify your style, how to accessorize properly, and what types of trends are worth investing in. AND additionally, how to revamp your wardrobe on a budget!

Invest In Versatile Basics

When shopping on a budget, it’s essential to invest in versatile basics that can be mixed and matched to create multiple outfits. Look for classic pieces like a white t-shirt, a good pair of non-distressed denim, black trousers, blazers and denim jackets. Madewell has a great tee shirt assortment that is surprisingly affordable. I love their Softfade Boxy-Crop Tee. Their tee shirts are usually always on sale and they usually offer bundle pricing.

Accessories Make A Difference

Accessories can instantly elevate any outfit, so don’t underestimate their power. Invest in budget-friendly accessories like statement jewelry, scarves, belts, and handbags to add flair and personality to your looks. JCrew Factory has a great selection of jewelry which has a great price tag! A lot of my favorite everyday jewelry pieces are from JCrew Factory.

I also LOVE JCrew for their beach bags and bag selection. They are a bit pricer BUT they do go on sale, so it’s great retailer to check back on from time to time. Another new “mom friendly” bag brand I’m loving this year is Canvelle. Browse their sales – really good pieces, that are washable! As a busy mom, I love that. Their orginal fanny pack, you can wear as a cross body sling bag is my new favorite.

Take Advantage Of Online Sales And Discounts

Keep an eye out for sales, discounts, and promotions at your favorite stores. I tend to frequent retailers on a somewhat regular cadence, especially around key time periods like Memorial weekend, 4th of July, black friday, holiday and spring. You’ll often find good discounts during those times leading up to those dates, during and right after. Retailers like LOFT, Banana Republic Factory, JCrew Factory, Madewell are a few good retailers to keep an eye on.

In terms of shopping local – my all time favorite is Grace & Haven, which serves up quite a few discounted pieces throughout the year at amazing prices. Pay attention in the seaonal transition times and on their socials.

Don’t forget to sign up for newsletters or follow brands (you love!) on social media to stay informed about upcoming sales events and exclusive deals.

Practice Mindful Shopping vs. Focusing On Trends

Before making a purchase, ask yourself whether the item is truly something you need and will wear regularly. Avoid impulse buys and focus on building a curated wardrobe filled with pieces that reflect your personal style and lifestyle.

Too often I see people focusing on a trendy piece. Ask yourself this one question, will I still like this a year from now? If the answer is no or I’m not sure, put it back or give yourself a few days to think on it if you are online shopping.

Revamping your wardrobe on a budget is all about creativity and resourcefulness. Whether you’re taking advantage of online sales, shopping your closet first, or practicing mindful shopping, there are affordable ways on how to revamp your wardobe on budget so your style can evolve and reflect who you are becoming.
