what I've learned

• No plain black or white tee shirt is worth paying more than $10 for. No exceptions.
• The clutter rule of throwing anything out that you haven’t worn in a year does not apply to formal wear. Also, things change, jobs change but classic cuts never go out of style. Hold onto it.  
• Find a good shoe repair person and utilize them. Wrecked heel caps are trashy.
• Forget about fancy label jeans. Try on everything. Buy what fits. I love my $10 F21 jeans more than my $150 JBrands.
• Flat sandals and ballet flats are not worth going broke for.
• Just because it’s on sale, doesn’t mean you need it.
• Quit buying things you will never wear. Be realistic about your lifestyle and stop shopping for your fantasy life.
• Forget about your weight. I know when I need to get more strict about my diet when my jeans aren’t as comfortable. I refuse to buy an entire new wardrobe because I’ve let myself go. Don’t worry about sizes or numbers.
• Super trendy styles should be reflected in cheap fun accessories and cheap fun clothing. They will last as long as the trend does.
• It’s better to be overdressed than underdressed.
• Keep your infrequently worn clothes in dust protecting garment bags.
• Know your measurements.
• Credit cards are for emergencies. Beautiful shoes are not an emergency. Needing clothes for a new job is – but purchase them slowly as your assumptions about the work environment and your duties may be wrong.
• Try everything on.
• Wear a correctly sized supportive bra. It will make all of your clothing fit better.
• Jeans with a slightly higher waistband (not mom jeans) will take care of that muffin top.
