Skip the fast fashion and dress like old money in clothes you can wear on repeat to always look stylish. Some are even on sale.

If you're weary of updating your wardrobe every season, it may be time to curate a capsule collection. Clothes that make you feel great every time you wear them and mix and match with your other pieces will streamline your closet and make getting dressed a cinch.
