Even though we are well into Spring, it doesn’t hurt to take a look at the Spring/Summer 2010 fashion trends, and evaluate our wardrobes.
Of course, if you are like me, you want to have the latest styles without breaking the bank. And believe me, it is a necessity to have a clothing/shoe allowance in your budget.
Why is it a necessity? After all, when you are trying to get out of debt, or feed your family, aren’t other things more important than what you wear?
Yes, there are more important things than clothing, but it is always important to feel good about yourself. One way to feel good about yourself, is to like what you see in the mirror.
Hence, the clothing allowance.
Oh, and not to mention, your husband will be thrilled to see you in nice clothes, rather than yoga pants and tees.
The first trend to implement into your wardrobe is something turquoise.
Turquoise is THE color for 2010, so it is an essential piece to have.
The wonderful thing about turquoise, is that it exudes calm, feels soothing, and reminds you of tropical waters. And, it is a color that works on everyone.
All of the items pictured are under $26, and can be found at Old Navy, Forever 21, and JCPenney’s.
Adding trendy pieces to your wardrobe doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. One or two nice, simple pieces in turquoise can be dressed up with a chunky necklace or a fantastic belt. Easy peasy.
Hopefully, you will feel as calm and cool as you look in your turquoise piece, because being a mom does not always exude feelings of serenity, right?!
And to add to your savings, you can get $10 off any $10 online purchase at JCPenney’s, and Old Navy is offering 20% off with their Stuff-and-Save promotion.
Don’t forget, when shopping online, make sure to shop through the cash-back sites Shop at Home or Ebates.
