Whether you are buying clothing for yourself or your children it is important to think about what else they will go with and how you can mix and match items together to get more use out of them. Many people do not like to be seen in exactly the same outfit a few times in a row. It may be that you don’t go out that much so do not want to spend hundreds of pounds on a number of different items. If this is the case then you need 5 – 10 staple pieces that you can mix and match and accessorise to create a completely different look.
Buying plain items can allow you to dress them up or down depending on what the occasion is. If you have a pair of black jeans then you can wear these casually with ballet pumps and a t-shirt top for a chic day time look, but you could dress them up with a pair of heels, some fancy jewellery and sparkly top – perfect for a night on the town.
Adding long necklaces, belts and changing shoes and handbag will allow you to wear the same outfit but give it a totally new look – meaning you do not have to break the bank.
