Want To Save Some Money? Go Shopping...In Your Closet!!!

I realize that we are all in a recession and for any fashionista, buying the latest styles could be a challenge. I have a great way for you to save some money...go shopping in your closet! I know this sounds insane but take my word for it, you may have some hidden treasures in your closet, that you stored away, and forgot about. These forgotten frocks can be recycled into one of the stylish trends for the summer. This recently happened to me. I went to The Gap to pre-shop and possibly purchase some wide legged jeans for this summer. The wide legged jeans at The Gap were priced between $68-$78 dollars; and most retail stores had their jeans priced in that same price range. Although I really wanted the jeans, I decided that $78 was too much to pay for one pair of jeans. So when I got home, I decided to go through my closet to get reacquainted with the clothes that I put on hiatus. I usually try and donate the clothes that I don't wear to charity , however, I always keep my staples (Jeans, black pants, white shirts, etc.). To my delight, I found four pairs of wide legged jeans in my closet. I stored my wide legged jeans because skinny jeans were all the rave for the last 2 seasons and wide legged jeans were exiled...no longer in style. I managed to save $78 and get the jeans that I wanted for free. So for all the fashionista's out there take this advice: go shopping in your closet before you spend any money! Find out what you have in your inventory before you begin your spring/summer shopping adventures. If you have any questions or need any help shopping, leave a comment for me, and I will answer any questions you may have! Just fir the record, I did find wide legged jeans on sale at my" go to store" H&M. They are $19.95!!! !http://www.hm.com/entrance.ahtml?orguri=/
