Update your wardrobe on a budget

Help! I’m bored of my wardrobe but I’m on a tight budget. Any ideas?

===

How about getting some friends together and organising a clothes-swapping party?

Go through your wardrobe and find things you no longer love and make a night of it with bubbly and nibbles whlie you rummage through each others’ cast-offs. one man’s trash is another man’s treasure!

With that in mind, take yourself down to your local op-shop and browse through some bargains. It’s a cheap way to rejuvenate your wardrobe and you’re sure to find an original piece or two! Buying a few funky accessories is another cheap way to update your wardrobe, especially as there are so many jewellery shops sprouting up everywhere these days. Check out a nearby market to find unique bangles, earrings and scarves made by local artisans.

Another way to update your current wardrobe without having to make further purchases is to invite a good friend to come over and make up new outfits from your clothes. A fresh pair of eyes and a different sense of style can mean your friend creates new outfit combinations from the same old wardrobe.
