One Simple Way To Update Your Wardrobe Without Buying New Clothes

I’ve been on a little bit of a shopping break. I’ve even been avoiding Savers…

The break comes mostly because this new single-parenting role really has made me reevaluate what I spend money on. Plus, I know that if I did go on a shopping spree, it would just be bringing me temporary joy.

So rather than fork over cash for new threads, I’m taking a closer look at what’s already in my closet and playing around with accessories to refresh my wardrobe.

This hat from J. Crew has really proven itself this summer! I wore it a few posts back, but I’ve been wearing it IRL with everything from bathing suits to dresses. It makes this 90s micro-floral slip dress look super summery.

My sunglasses, on the other hand, are a recent purchase. Now hear me out. I did say that I was taking a break from shopping, but I went to Forever 21 specifically looking for some fun, inexpensive shades to make my current wardrobe a hint more trendy. At less than $8 for these sunnies, I’d say they were worth it.

Take a peek at how I wore this dress last summer and compare it to this look with the sun hat and trendy sunnies. Isn’t it amazing how playing around with different accessories can change the whole look?? There’s no need to buy new clothes when you can simply wear the same pieces with different hats, sunglasses, shoes, and jewelry.
