If you'd like an easy, inexpensive summer makeover, just follow Sam's tips for refreshing your wardrobe:
Color is Key: Try adding a bold pop of color to your existing wardrobe basics to keep things stylish and cool. The trend is to mix your favorite bright tones with neutrals like beige, grey, or black. You can keep your colors bright and stain free all season long by washing them with Clorox 2 Stain Fighter & Color Booster.
Accessorize it up: Accessories are always the easiest and least expensive way to bring in some trend without breaking the bank. Bold statement necklaces and large earrings are the ticket. Or try a daring chandelier earring with your favorite summer dress and a chunky sandal.
Ruffles: Ruffles are super stylish this summer, and you'll find them on everything from casual T-shirts and tanks to shoes and dresses. Soft, romantic, and feminine, this trend is great when contrasted with something boyish like a cool pair of jeans or a fitted blazer.
Tailored White Shirt: One simple trend for summer that you may already own is a tailored white shirt. Nothing is more classic than a chic white button down, but it's all in the way you style it!
Recessionista Time: In today's economy, it's all about looking great on a budget. So become a Recessionista! Try shopping at your local vintage or resale store before hitting the mall.
