Don’t forget to switch clothing and accessories with friends. I loaned a friend some new sweaters for a last-minute Winter trip and she felt like she had a whole new wardrobe. Seriously, it doesn’t take much to freshen what you already have!

Hey, Miss Pink Slip — that’s a great idea! Thanks for sharing. Reminds me of my college days when me and 3 of my suite mates all wore the same size shoes: 9 1/2. For several years it was shoe heaven. And even to this day, we still exchange from time to time.
