Stop buying things.
Appreciate what you already have.
Rediscover your favorite clothes.
Get rid of what you don't love.
Clean out your closet.
I did, a few weeks ago, and I found a cardigan my mom bought me over ten years ago. I still love it. It's from Abercrombie & Fitch (late 90's) and I wore that sweater at least once a week when I got it. I remember seeing "Topanga" from Boy Meets World wear it on one episode, and I got really excited. I got just excited when I rediscovered it. I put it on and fell in love again with it's classic cuts, deep navy blue color, simple and subtle embroidery. I remembered that it looks good with pretty much anything: over a tee, over a collared shirt, over a polo, over a tank, over a dress, buttoned, unbuttoned... aaaaahhhh.
Being thrifty is not always about finding a good bargain. Sometimes, it's about appreciating what you already have.
