In 2013 after hitting the lowest point of my life, losing 20lbs and purging 85% of my wardrobe ... seriously, I only had 20 pieces hanging in my closet ... I created my #1 shopping rule, The Rule of 5. With a monthly budget of only $200 I had to build an entirely new wardrobe from scratch. Knowing I had next to nothing in my closet and unwilling to sacrifice quality I knew I would have to be creative, strategic and intentional with every single purchase. This is when and how The Rule of 5 was created.
BUILD YOUR DREAM WARDROBE
If you've always wanted *insert pricey handbag* but can never seem to afford it then my Build Your Dream Wardrobe on a Budget guide is for you. You won't find what blazer I think you should buy, in fact I share nothing of the sort. Instead I break down the financial aspect of shopping that will help you look at your spending differently. I will show you out to determine what dream pieces are deserving of a purchase and teach you to become more intentional with not only what you bring into your closet but what you spend as well.

MY #1 SHOPPING RULE
THE RULE OF 5
There's nothing worse than looking for something to wear and seeing pieces hanging in your closet you either hate or have nothing to wear with it, am I right? We've all been there at some season of our life. My Rule of 5 series is based off of my #1 shopping rule, The Rule of 5. Essentially, you have to be able to style every item you want to purchase 5 different ways with items you already own in order to buy it. Don't worry, I have you covered with over 100 blog posts sharing 5 ways to wear classic and on trend pieces.
