Are your cupboards full to bursting?
So recycle and bring out your old clothes while staying at the forefront of fashion and saving on the shopping budget.
Ladies, if you too have trouble throwing away and are the type to hoard clothes, follow my shopaholic tip.
Fashion is an eternal cycle of new beginnings:trends follow and resemble each other, and not a season goes by that we don't see models inspired by previous collections reappear.
So, rather than running to the shops to buy the latest piece spotted in women's magazines, reopen your cupboards:you will see that you will find clothes that are always up to date.
- "flare" jeans are making a big comeback this summer:they were already fashionable in the 70s, they came back in 2008, and they're back in 2011. You've probably got one lying around in your pile of jeans.
- T-shirts in all flashy colors, trends in the 80s are back this summer with the "color block" trend.
- romantic blouses:you certainly have a little white, pink, embroidered or lace blouse.
The same is true for many other garments:espadrilles, wedge shoes, Prince of Wales jacket, etc.
And if you can't find them in your closet, search your mother's or grandmother's:they are often full of treasures!
These few tips should help you think twice before going on a shopping spree. This will save you from spending a single euro while renewing your wardrobe.
And if you really don't want to go shopping, take a look at thrift stores, sales consignments and vintage shops where you can find clothes sold by weight at a lower cost!
If your old clothes no longer suit you, also think about pick-up points, donations, or even selling them at online wardrobe sales.
