Making the Most Out of Your Wardrobe

Since college students have a lot of trouble sticking to a budget for clothes and accessories, learning how to spread your wardrobe out is an important concern.

Even if you feel like you have nothing new to wear, you can play around with different combinations to create a limitless number of outfits.

Here's how to take one item (a shirt dress) and make 5 different ensembles:

Day 1: Wear it as a one-piece dress with tights.

Day 2: Wear it open like a cardigan, with a skirt and boots.

Day 3: Tuck it into a full skirt and pair it with a high-waisted belt.

Day 4: Wear it as a dress with a high-waisted belt and bold footwear.

Day 5: Leave it unbuttoned over a band tee and Converse.

By picking a few basic pieces that you already have in your closet and using some creativity, you can really expand your collection of clothes without spending a cent.
