THE RULE OF 5: MY #1 SHOPPING RULE TO STAY ON BUDGET AND MAXIMIZE YOUR WARDROBE BY BEING INTENTIONAL

March 17, 2020

MAXIMIZE YOUR WARDROBE @julia.marie.b
WHO ELSE HAS BOUGHT A NEW TOP BECAUSE YOU “LOVED IT SO MUCH” THEN MONTHS LATER IT STILL HASN’T BEEN WORN?

We’ve all been there! There has been a time in our life we’ve walked in our closet looking for something to wear only to be reminded of the items we purchased but still haven’t worn, tags still attached and all.

When we make impulse purchases we end up with a closet of one offs that we only have one other item to wear with it, if even that.

When we make impulse purchases we end up with a closet full of clothes yet still have NOTHING to wear. WHY are we like this?!

In 2013, after losing 20lbs, purging 90% of my closet and only having a clothing budget of $150 a month I was in desperate need of a high functioning wardrobe. That is when, why and how I created my #1 shopping rule, The Rule of 5.

I knew in order to still buy quality pieces I loved I was going to have to get creative (and disciplined) and that’s exactly what I did. Every single purchase I made for the following year was well thought out and 100% intentional. I had no room for impulse purchases, the function of my wardrobe couldn’t afford it.

Who likes throwing their money away? … Pretty much no one!

We all deserve to hit our financial goals (and best wardrobes) and a great starting point is to become more intentional with what we spend our money on.

I want you to be great in everything you do so I wrote a 24 page book to fully share The Rule of 5 with you. There’s even worksheets for you to brainstorm your goal wardrobe!

Just click the image below for your FREE Rule of 5 guide to get started on your best wardrobe yet!
