WHO ELSE HAS BOUGHT A NEW TOP BECAUSE YOU “LOVED IT SO MUCH” THEN MONTHS LATER IT STILL HASN’T BEEN WORN?
We’ve all been there! There has been a time in our life we’ve walked in our closet looking for something to wear only to be reminded of the items we purchased but still haven’t worn, tags still attached and all.
When we make impulse purchases we end up with a closet of one offs that we only have one other item to wear with it, if even that.
When we make impulse purchases we end up with a closet full of clothes yet still have NOTHING to wear. WHY are we like this?!
In 2013, after losing 20lbs, purging 90% of my closet and only having a clothing budget of $150 a month I was in desperate need of a high functioning wardrobe. That is when, why and how I created my #1 shopping rule, The Rule of 5.
I knew in order to still buy quality pieces I loved I was going to have to get creative (and disciplined) and that’s exactly what I did. Every single purchase I made for the following year was well thought out and 100% intentional. I had no room for impulse purchases, the function of my wardrobe couldn’t afford it.
I bet you don’t like throwing your money away, do you?
We all deserve to hit our financial goals (and best wardrobes) and a great starting point is to become more intentional with what we spend our money on.
I want you to be great in everything you do so I wrote a 24 page book to fully share The Rule of 5 with you. There’s even worksheets for you to brainstorm your goal wardrobe!

LOOK 1
TURTLENECK: One of my favorite affordable purchased this season is this Turtleneck Sweatshirt. It’s a slight crop but also oversized. I purchased a size down for a sleeker look.
SWEATPANTS: Last year I wanted a pair of 90’s oversized sweatpants so this past Spring I finally purchased a pair. These are made to be oversized, I ordered TTS.
LOOK 2
SWEATER: I purchased this sweater last month (still available!) and it’s hands down my best Winter purchase. It’s wool so this is definitely a Winter sweater. I ordered a size up for an oversized look and to wear with leggings.
DENIM: Madewell makes excellent denim and these are no exception. I purchased this pair 2 years ago, this style has been consistent in their F/W selection and are available again this year as well. They fit TTS.
LOOK 3
SWEATSHIRT DRESS: New purchase this season, it sold out in 48 hours but sizes have been bouncing in and out of stock. Fits TTS
LOOK 4
HOODIE: Pro Tip: get your oversized sweatshirts and hoodies from the men’s department. This one was purchased last year but it’s a style that’s around year around. I go up 1 or 2 sizes for a good oversized fit that covers the bum.
SIMILAR DENIM: Another pair of Madewell jeans, they really are amazing! These are the slim boy fit, purchased two years ago. Madewell usually has this cut available but in different washes, if you get REAL lucky you may be able to find them on Poshmark.

TOP: A must have item(s) for me is Champion sweatsuits, they are soooo good both in quality and fit. They are perfect for running errands or lounging around the house. In the cold Winter months I wear mine under full length coats, nice shoes and cold weather accessories. It dresses up the sweats and keeps you warm. As far as this top I bought it a few months ago in my TTS.
BOTTOM: These slim fit joggers were purchased with the top also in my TTS.
