How to Update Your Fall Capsule Wardrobe On A Budget

Pick Your Basics

Start with some basics like a white button shirt, some great fitting jeans and a great pair of neutral boots. You should also have your little black dress and since it’s a fall what about a great dress in fall colors. Make sure your pieces in your wardrobe can go together. From there you can add on and layer!

I usually don’t have time to go to many stores so I love to shop for these basic pieces online. When I do that I always use websites like Ebates, Amazon and Old Navy

Mix and Match

Take your pieces and make new outfits. You can have 12 pieces of clothes and make 15 or more great outfits! This gives you’re the illusion of more clothes without the price tag that comes with it!

Thrift Stores

As you are hunting for those key pieces for your fall capsule wardrobe don’t forget to shop at the thrift stores. Many thrift stores will have local stores overstock so you can get new clothes deeply discounted. You can find great deals on the perfect pair of jeans for less than $10 instead of over $100! Accessorize – This is the cheapest way to make a new outfit! Great a chunky necklace and a new purse with a different pair of shoes, this gives your outfit a whole new look. You can get some great cheap scarfs, necklaces, belts, purses, shoes and other jewelry.

The Cardigan

The Cardigan is a must with the fall weather, it’s getting colder so a cardigan will help keep you warm. This is also a great way to make a new outfit. Take those jeans and white shirt mentioned above add in a cardigan and some accessories and you have a great outfit. Next week switch up a different cardigan and different accessories but the same jeans and white shirt (after they are washed of course!) and bam, you have a whole new outfit!

Buy End of Season

The best way to get discounts is to buy at the end of the season for next season. Had your eye on that great cardigan but it was out of your budget? Get it cheap when they roll out the winter line and put fall items on clearance!
