Personal Style | All Black Outfit + Keeping a Minimal Wardrobe Budget Friendly

May 7, 2017 by Whitney 14 Comments

When it comes to personal style, all black outfits are my go to choice. The chicness of an all black outfit will never go out of style; it’s timeless. Chic and timeless are 2 words I keep in mind while shopping for my growing minimal wardrobe. While I love to add funky accessories and style trendy pieces every once in a while, I prefer to keep the majority of my clothing simple.

Building a minimal wardrobe is a process and it’s one that, in my opinion, will never stop. For a while, I was good with the amount items I had in my closet. I rotated and restyled several pieces, and still do, but as seasons change and as my style evolves so does my wardrobe.

Building a wardrobe never stops, but that doesn’t mean it has to be an expensive process. #wnjstyle

So how do I keep my minimal wardrobe budget friendly? Here are 5 tips:

  1. Create your own definition of a minimal wardrobe and do what works for you. 
  2. Purchase certain items, like accessories and outerwear, at the thrift store. 
  3. Keep a running list of what you already have and what you need. 
  4. Purchase items offseason to avoid paying full price. 
  5. Only purchase what you’re going to wear right now.
    • not what you’ll wear when you get to a certain size or when you lose a certain amount of weight

    Love these tips. And your simple, classy outfit. Great pop of color with the shoes. I have a minimal wardrobe, but to me it’s not all tied together well. Like, it needs a little improvement. I want to have a theme to my style. Will be incorporating your tips. Thank you 🙂

      Thank you, Alicia! Tieing your wardrobe pieces together takes time. Have fun with the items you and take it slow. 🙂

    Super classy outfit! The red shoes give it just the right amount of pop. I am so guilty of buying something that I’m “going to fit into later” LOL but I’ve learned my lesson! I keep my wardrobe budget-friendly by thrifting and sticking to somewhat basic pieces that I can mix, match and style many different ways!

      Thanks, Toia! Oh, I LOVE thrifting. Such a great way to find unique pieces without breaking the bank. And I think we’ve all been guilty of that. I know I have, lol! #lessonlearned
