Building an Effective Executive Wardrobe Principle #6: Budget Matters

Keep Your Budget in Mind

You've cleaned and organized your closet.  You've chosen the core neutral color(s) around which to build your executive wardrobe.  Once you put together your shopping list, do not just grab your purse and go. Do some Internet research to see what is out there, look for sales and calculate what a realistic wardrobe budget might be. You won’t feel good in your new clothes if you have gone into debt to pay for them. Establishing and writing down a realistic budget before you begin purchasing items will keep you on track.
When shopping, remember that quality is important and you are going to spend more for quality. Leave trendy clothes for your weekend activities. Start with clothes that will last for at least a few years.  Quality, timeless classics will allow you to get more for your money in the long run.
