Here are 5 easy steps to buy an office wardrobe on budget!
1) Get larger pieces (pants, skirts, and jackets) in neutral colors that mix and match. Neutral colors work best and mix with each other. Shoes should be comfortable. Better stores for shoes would be the discount shoe stores or outlet malls. Also, online retailers or auction sites can be a good location.
2) Get accent pieces in coordinating colors. If you stick with neutrals for the big stuff, you'll have a wide range of combination colors to choose from for shirts and ties. Avoid neutral colors, except white shirts. They look great on almost everyone. Go with solid colors.
3) Look hard in your closet for anything you might turn into office wear. Maybe you have a nice white button-front hidden in your closet, or a pair of shoes that would look brand new with a coat of polish.
4) Make a list of what you need before you go shopping. You probably have a limited amount of time to shop as well as a limited budget, so start with the lowest-price stores first like thrift stores and discount retailers, but focus only on what you're likely to find at that kind of store. Stick to your shopping list!
5) Know that you are done shopping! While you may have spent what seems like a lot of money, you will have picked up a wardrobe that will last, and that you can expand on easily by buying additional pieces when you have a little extra cash.
