Wardrobe Essentials for the Thrifty Girl

Thrifty Wife, Happy Life- Wardobe Essentials for the thrifty girl

People often come to me and ask for fashion advice. To be honest, I don't know what to tell them, because I'm not a fashion expert. I don't always shop the latest trends and I don't know all the designer brands. I don't even know what certain patterns and materials are called (I still don't know how to pronounce Gingham properly when I say it). What I do know about fashion, is that I understand the basics. My entire wardrobe is mostly made out of affordable basics essentials pieces. I like to buy clothes that can be mixed and matched with different accessories. I like to re-wear my clothes, but I don't like to wear them the same way twice.

Today I want to share my must have wardrobe essentials with you. If you are someone who is lost at how to put yourself together, hopefully this can give you a guide of what you should have in your closet.
