Dress Well for Less: 7 Ways to Update Your Wardrobe Cheaply

dress-for-less

Step aside boring wardrobe. Fashion help is on the way.

 

If you want to dress well for less, an instant update of your wardrobe can turn your old faithful fashion into the new looks of the season.

But if you don’t have the cash for a full on shopping spree–accessories, shoes and a new flirty dress can give your closet the stylish jump-start it needs.

Here’s how to update your wardrobe cheaply and infuse a little style into your existing closet….for less.

Dress for Less Tip#1 – Add a new killer shoe to wardrobe.

A fabulous new shoe, whether bedazzled and bejeweled with sparkles–or adorned with feathers, straps and velvety suede–can automatically resuscitate a dead wardrobe item.

Dress well for less tip: Peruse endless.com for couture and designer shoe brands up to 80 percent off retail prices.

Dress for Less Tip #2  - Adorn your beautiful neck with a scarf. Or add some style to your digits with a supple pair of leather gloves.

When the first chill of winter darkens your door, update your wardrobe with items fit for a regal fashion queen. H&M, Target, Marshalls & T.J. Maxx carry textured scarves and pashminas for less.

Dress well for less tip: For last season’s overcoat that requires a little extra push into fabulosity, buy cashmere gloves at J. Crew to revamp your look.

Dress for Less Tip #3 – Make up your pretty face with a new lipstick or blush.

There’s a reason that lipstick sales soar during a recession or depression: no other item, can make us feel beautiful for  a few dollars or less.

Because your summer and spring makeup palette will clash with your fall and winter clothes, you can update your cheeks and your lips with an inexpensive swath of color.

Dress well for less tip: Make a subtle difference in your wardrobe by adding richer and deeper colors in the fall, and lighter and dewy colors in the warmer months.

Dress for Less Tip #4 – Ring in the new fashion season with a little bling bling.

Infuse newness into your jewelry box with a simple piece of wearable art. A delightful ring, necklace or brooch can add a little whimsy to the basic jackets or transform the little black dress into a fine style specimen.

Dress for Less Tip #5- Add a colorful burst of flower power to your jackets, dresses or suiting.

Adding a graphic floral pin, to your handbag, blouse or hair, is not only an instant mood shifter but a simple way to dress well for less.

Dress well for less tip: Ladies, size of the floral adornment matters.

A small or petite woman can wear a big flower, a la Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and The City. However, a voluptuous woman will look ridiculous in a carnation-sized flower attached to her label.

Just make sure that the size of the pin fits your proportions.

Dress for Less Tip #6 A little handbag happiness is your fashion cure for a stale wardrobe.

Offer a new stylish twist to your closet with a fun designer handbag. Instead of purchasing the “it bag” du jour, purchase a small clutch or patent leather shopper for a few dollars.

Dress well for less tip: Add a subtle, yet modern purse to your handbag wardrobe at Banana Republic or a small boutique in your city.

Dress for Less Tip #7 – A flirty and inexpensive sundress or wool sheath can turn a fashionable frown upside down.

With fast fashion retailers democratizing runway looks for real women, you can score a designer-inspired dress for less than 30 dollars.  Depending on your age and your budget, find a dress at the Gap or Target to keep your wardrobe fresh and relevant.

You can also search any amazing voucher codes available at the site of EverydaySale to save your money. If you want to dress well for less, you don’t have the break the bank buying a completely new wardrobe. Before you retire some of your old dresses, handbags and shoes, arm yourself with these “dress well for less tips.”

Wow your friends with these style secrets, while upgrading your wardrobe  with decadent touches and newfound inexpensive treasures that fit your fashion personality perfectly.
