If you’re bored with the pieces in your closet, then it’s time to do something about it. Clothing is a visual representation of your personality, and if you’re bored with your clothes, then you’re not showing yourself and the people around you the person you can be. Take the time to go through your closet and donate the piece you’re no longer interested in. Once you’ve freed up some space, it’s time for the fun part—bringing in new pieces.
If you want new articles of clothing for your closet but don’t want to blow your whole paycheck, take a look at these different ways to update your wardrobe on a budget. From shopping secondhand to nailing down new styles with old pieces, you can make the most of your closet on a budget.

If you have a baby on the way, there’s a lot you’re planning for. Whether it’s your first child or your third, there are still items you’ll need to update or buy more of. Your “to-purchase” list is probably extensive, and even if you’re having a baby shower, there are still items you’ll need to get yourself. Luckily, this doesn’t have to break the bank; there are plenty of ways to save money. Shopping secondhand is one of those ways! To help you out, we’ve listed some of the top baby items you should buy used.

There’s something wonderful about heading to a thrift store and finding a unique piece of clothing that fits your style perfectly. The “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” saying is quite truthful. Now more than ever, people are donating clothing, home goods, electronics, and other objects that are in terrific condition. Whether they’re clearing out clutter or making room for more stuff, this propensity to buy and buy has made thrifting an even more rewarding habit for your wallet. But apart from the personal advantages of shopping secondhand, thrifting is a great benefit for the environment. Put the “reduce, reuse, recycle” slogan into even better practice—donate more and thrift often! Learn more about how thrifting is good for the planet below.

Secondhand shopping is just as good for the environment as it is for your bank account—and just as good as it is for your closet.

For those hoping to reap the rewards of secondhand shopping, it’s important to first note the difference between consignment and thrift stores. Not all secondhand stores are alike—learn about those differences below!
