I have noticed that when shopping, I sometimes spend more than by budget. I see a very lovely top I didn’t budget for or I didn’t have in mind I was going to buy, and I sometimes buy it!

- Be creative with your wardrobe: you might think some of the clothes you have are old and fun or interesting. Take a good look at them again, how can you add fun to that cloth? Can you dye some clothes? Add details to some of them, etc.
- Buy clothes in the right shape and size: you should also endeavour to buy clothes you want to wear in your size so that you won’t end up not wearing them.
