That's right. Too much 'mix and match' creates a big mess!
Dressing is like cooking. If you continually shop and buy clothes 'just because' and without a plan, then you are just wasting money. You'll never have a really terrific wardrobe because you have not planned out a basic wardrobe or invested in essential wardrobe items.
It's like having random ingredients and you want to bake something. The problem is you don't have the RIGHT ingredients...therefore you can make NOTHING!!!
STOP buying so many cute trendy items just because they are on clearance!!!!
You only need one or two dresses like this....

Your money is better spent on several dresses like this...(you can wear it more often)
Of course a classic dress style in a pretty color never hurts!
All the odds and ends, mix and match items...don't add up to much! It's the basic wardrobe that allows you create that fantastic wardrobe you desire.
