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
Sweater: One of my favorite purchases this season, wool blend sweater with a split fold over turtleneck. I ordered a size up for a oversized look and to help cover the bum.
Leggings: F/W must haves, I bought a size up. I am in between sizes though.
LOOK 2
Bodysuit: c/o Yummie this season. I went up a size.
Leggings: F/W must haves, I bought a size up. I am in between sizes though.
Poncho: 5 years old from C. Wonder
LOOK 3
Sweater Dress: This is a new purchase I made earlier this season. I bought my TTS and it fits great. There were a few other color options
Similar Vest: My vest is 5+ years old from Old Navy.
LOOK 4
Current Hoodie: My hoodie is from the 8th grade, it’s true vintage at 20+ years old. I’m so proud of it and all it’s holes from distressing and the few bleach marks on the pocket from when I was cleaning the kitchen 15 years ago.
Similar Jeans: These are 2 years old from Madewell, Madewell denim does live up to the hype. I recommend splurging if you haven’t tried them yet.
LOOK 5
Turtleneck SS: Hashtag. Purchase. One of my favorite and most affordable purchases this season at only $25. Is it a sweatshirt, is it a proper sweater? It’s lowkey both!
Joggers: I bought my TTS, they are made to be oversized. I wear this proper makeshift sweatsuit once a week, it’s so cozy and warm. The turtleneck makes it chic.
