  Creating a mish-mash wardrobe by buying odds and ends.

  

  Buying up odds and ends on sale may seem to make sense. After all, the easy availability of off-price merchandise has lulled us into thinking that minor purchases won’t blow our wardrobe concept or budget.

  Actually, it’s the little things that kill your wardrobe. Without a plan, you can end up with tons of clothes and nothing to wear. But it’s never too late to change your habits.

  Getting stuck in a style rut.

  

  Sticking with classics has been conventional style wisdom for ages, and for women with full lives and limited resources this is still a sure way to investment dressing.

  The problem is that as we grow older, we sometimes become a little too comfortable wearing our old standbys (or just doing “replenishment” shopping each season).

  Sometimes all it takes is tweaking the basics that you already own to look fabulous.

  Next time, when you go shopping, remember to avoid these impulses, though it’s hard.
