This year one of my resolutions goes along with Jarom's. One of his goals was to have a certain amount of money in our savings account for the the year. I want to be able to support him in this area by trying to be a better shopper. 'Cause there ain't no way I'm not gonna shop! Let's be reasonable.
Some of my focuses have been to plan better with my groceries and watch my budget better in that area. The biggy is that I really wanted to start to update my wardrobe (it's been awhile) and to help Jarom I've gotta pinch. The plan, Shop Your Closet! I'm so excited! I've got some buddies and we are going to do it together. Our first closet will be redesigned next week. I'll try to update.
I am in no way a fashion expert but I think every person knows what they like and what they are looking for. It's just creating some new outfits from what we've got and cleaning out what we just don't EVER wear. We plan to swap or even "craigslist" a few items if worthy, anything else goes to the Goodwill. This is going to be fun and I challenge some of you to do the same. Pass the word and update how your project went.
Here's some advice/help from Glamour Mag and click on "make over your closet in 3 easy steps." Did I mention I love this site for CUTE dresses http://www.shabbyapple.com/? I love dresses.

You could also sale your stuff at consignment shops like Phase II & Plato's Closet (2 really good ones here). Then you can use the money you get to buy new clothes. I love Shabby Apple by the way!
Ya Ashley sold to Plato's closet in Orem. They only wanted her $100 MEK and $100 MissMe jeans. Old Navy, GAP, Abercrombie they threw back in the bag and said, "No"!! She was kind of surprised. She ended up making out with $25.00 for 2 pair of jeans at $200~ Kind of crudy!Just be careful if you resell and don't expect anything for the stuff : (
I'm with Michele . . . the two times I've tried to sell at Plato's, they ripped me off. Then, you look at the clothes hanging up in the store and they were crap! Seriously.
I LOVE that shabby apple site! modcloth.com is another fun site to "ooh" and "ahh" at . . . I have no idea where I would wear their clothes, but I want them anyway!!!
And I always love TJ Maxx and ROSS. You've really got to look closely at the clothes to make sure there are no defects . . . but i've gotten some really good stuff at both places for super cheap.
