This dress is a prime example of choosing quality over quantity.

This fabric and color can by styled so many ways.

I can dress it down with sandals and wear it in the fall with boots and a jacket.

Make sure you're shopping with love and intention. Your closet and wallet will thank you.

Listen, if they can’t State the price in public I’m not purchasing it.

I assume you are making up numbers and charging everyone something different.

Is it just me? Have you purchased from these type of retailers?

This shirt has become one of my favorite thrift pieces EVER!

I love the print and there's a ton of ways to style it.

I am very selective about what I thrift.

The clothes can be super cheap so you might have a tendency to get any and everything because its $1.

Look for that WOW factor.

It should feel more like you're getting something you would have paid full price for but you're glad you don't have to.

If you need help limiting your thrift purchases try giving yourself a budget of $20. You can also commit to purchasing no more than 5 items at once.

If you thrift something and you don't love it, DONATE it back. Do not let it loiter in your closet.

Happy thrifting 💛
I hope your next piece is your best piece.

I thrifted this jacket for $5.

Building a functional wardrobe is less about how much money you spend and more about knowing what clothes to select.

Always start by gathering high quality staple clothing in neutral color schemes. Then, you layer more eclectic statement pieces on top.

I found this jacket and a printed shirt that I'll be posting soon at a thrift store in Miami.

The shirt has to be one of my favorite thrift pieces EVER- can't wait to show it to you.

Have you found any good thrift pieces lately?

This next level of growth requires more courage.

So much of actually getting what you want is admitting your desires.

Ask for intimacy
Ask for the promotion
Ask for the collaboration
Ask the client for their business

We can't be so afraid that people might see us during the process that we don't get started. Or we get started but don't give it our all.

Be courageous in the pursuit of your blessings and while you're at it, dress like you own the place...one day you might.

Authentic style isn’t about following trends or wearing “name brands.”

It’s discovering the highest version of yourself and showing up as that person on a daily basis.

Most women shop consistently but still never love all or even most of the clothes they own.

You deserve to have more than a handful of outfits in rotation. Especially when your closet is filled to the brim.

Tell me honestly, what percent of your clothes do you actually wear?

Sometimes we view “letting go” as lack and this scarcity mindset can truly hold us back. Whether it’s letting go of toxic relationships/friendships, places/spaces that no longer serve you, or even material things (clothes, shoes, etc.) ... letting go makes room for abundance.

You will see that you will experience more peace of mind, more space, more time, more energy, and even more clarity when you let go. You are enough and you have everything you need already inside of you. ❤⠀
⠀
P.S., I’ve been participating in the Main St. Looks Spring Clean Challenge and I will say it has been so therapeutic! I feel lighter and I’ve already created space for abundance to flow—simply by letting go. If you haven’t already, join me for this challenge! This week is the last week!

Break out those sundresses, swim suits, and shorts that you've packed away.

1. This keeps you from accumulating unnecessary clothes as a result of buying the same things over and over.

2. You will also save money by not purchasing things you don't need when you have perfectly good options stored and forgotten about somewhere.

P.S.

If you do this, you might as well declutter the entire closet.

The Spring Clean challenge is going on now. Winner receives $100 gift card.

I believe most women have invested well over $10,000 into their wardrobes.

200 pieces of clothing at $50 each is $10,000. So including shirts, pants, skirts, blouses, dresses, shoes, accessories, and any luxury items you likely have invested way more than you realize.

We can spend a lifetime shopping and still not love all or even most of the clothes in our closets.

This was my story for so long.

When I finally realized that there was a system to build my wardrobe up like a collection my first thought was.... If I had known this years ago I could have saved soooo much money.

With your wardrobe, just like in all things. It pays to have a plan. There is a way to invest wisely and be intentional when adding new pieces.

How confident are you that your last wardrobe purchase was a good one?

Every problem has a solution...

I came up with the brilliant idea to turn this beautiful scarf into a shirt. I didn't bother to check the dimensions. Ya'll. It was waaaay too small to be a shirt. Luckily I was sent two scarves and able to tie them together to make this look.

These shorts are from a suit and I love that I was able to take a professional piece and use it for a brunch vibe.

Swipe to see the full suit.

Moral of the story: Use what you have and be creative. The results just might surprise you. I know these did! ❤️🛍

P.S.

We still have one week left in the Spring Clean Challenge. Winner receives $100 gift card.

The older I get, the more I find the "clichés" of life to be true.

The more grateful you are, the more you have to grateful for.

OR put more elegantly,

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance. - Eckhart Tolle

I hope these lavish closets provide you a boost of inspiration to make the most of your current space and belongings while you work towards obtaining your most ambitious goals.
