2011 fashion trends: how to build your wardrobe without spending a dime (part 1)

What do most fashionistas promise to do at the beginning of the year?  No, its not filing their taxes, losing weight or spending less money on shoes.

A few clients always make new year's resolutions to build a better wardrobe, dress better and pay more attention to their personal style.  Then they put off following through due to financial strains, hoping to save enough money by summer to get their stylish act together.

A big part of building a new wardrobe is not running out to Neiman Marcus with $2000 to blow on wardrobe staples.  One of the most important first steps in evamping a wardrobe is to edit your closet. 

Based on experience, most people wear only 20% of their entire closet 80% of the time.  This is due to several factors, including lack of time to clean, weight gain or loss, or not knowing what's after hanger #32; thanks in part to an overstuffed closet.

Why break the bank when you can shop your closet?
