Frugal wardrobe-building advice.

I am no fashion blogger, but! Great advice here at Squawkfox entitled “Frugal fashion: 12 classic pieces every gal should own.”

I do know something about this because after my weight loss necessitated a complete wardrobe overhaul, I tried very hard to plan my purchases for maximum utility.

Of the 12 classic pieces that Squawkfox identifies, I am proud to say that I deliberately acquired 9 of them as part of my wardrobe overhaul, with a few modifications (my classic trench is black, not beige). I am also pleased as punch that this “budget” site has the same taste in designer shoes as me — I own a pair of black heels exactly the same as hers, from the same designer, except that mine are peep toe. And I bought mine used on eBay, sweet!

    I think I technically own four of those things: jeans, black dress, black skirt, and flats. But the dress and skirt are really old and really clingy…they really need to move on.
    I’ll keep this list in mind, though, as I start constructing a new post-baby wardrobe on a budget.

  2. I’m trying to put together a new wardrobe on a budget myself. I’m having trouble adjusting to my new shape – last time I was this weight I was a teenager and had a different muscle/fat distribution and different tastes in clothes. I’ll check your post and the article out!
