We all have sudden urges to shop because we have “no clothes”, but is that really how it is?  Chances are...no.  The every other week to TjMaxx definitely adds up the wardrobe selection in the grand scheme of things.

1. DON’T click the internet ads to your favorite store, it’ll only cause temptation to splurge on the new season items that look remotely close to last seasons.


2. Move the things in the back of the closet to the front, this will let that old blouse that you forgot about look brand new.
3. Trends change, those baggy sweatshirts that were once cool five years could totally come back.
4. One word--Pintrest--you can find some of the cutest outfits on there and make them of clothing that you already own, perfect for traveling.
5. Your friend’s closet can be yours too.  Sharing is caring, right?  

These tips and tricks can help you save that extra twenty bucks from a tee shirt or a silly headband that you thought was "oh so cute."  Stay strong, its hard resisting that urge to splurge.  Traveling the world vs. a new top, what’s more important to you? SAVE SAVE SAVE.  Good luck to all my saving travelers.
