Do you have items in your closet that you never wear?  Or maybe items you’ve bought on sale JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE ON SALE and they just collect dust in your closet?  If you answered yes to either of these questions then this video and blog post all about what not to buy over 40 is for you!

As I’ve gotten older I really think about my purchases and make sure that I not only need the item I’m about to purchase, but I have to think of at least 3 ways I can wear it or I won’t buy it! This style tip, plus 4 others, along with items you should never buy are featured in today’s post.  Hopefully, these epic style hacks will end up saving you money, and will no doubt make your wardrobe more functional. They sure have for me!

WHAT NOT TO BUY OVER 40:

COLORS THAT DON'T FLATTER YOUR SKIN TONE OR HAIR COLOR:

Wearing colors that are complimentary to your natural coloring is a sure fire way to elevate your natural beauty. That’s why it is my first tip on my list of what not to buy over 40. Find out what colors look good on you by choosing a shade that is opposite your natural coloring on the color wheel and buy more things in that shade! For example: My eyes are blue and opposite the color blue on the color wheel is the orange/rust color family so this rust-colored cropped blazer from express was a great choice for me. Another simple way to figure out what colors suit you is to pay attention to what you are wearing when you receive compliments. Try either of these tips and I guarantee you will enjoy a newfound confidence when wearing colors!

THINGS THAT ARE ON SALE JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE ON SALE:

If you didn’t love it at the beginning of the season, then don’t buy it at the end of the season, just because it’s on sale! I always say that it’s only a good deal if you were already looking for that item. If you buy something simply because it’s on sale, you will end up with a closet full of clothes and nothing you really want to wear! This skirt and top set was something I immediately loved because of the flattering ruching and the gorgeous olive green shade. The fact that it was on sale was just a bonus!

MULTIPLE ITEMS OF WHAT YOU ALREADY OWN:

The next tip for what not buy over 40 is to avoid buying pieces that you already own! I know I’m guilty of this, for example I own several black leather jackets, do I really need so many? Probably not. So from now on I will resist the temptation to buy yet another fabulous leather jacket, especially in black! My suggestion is to really take inventory, make a list if that helps, of all the items in your closet so that you aren’t repeat buying items because honestly that’s just a waste of money! One thing I will say is that I can never have enough denim, and these fabulous flare leg jeans fit perfectly in my closet. I’m wearing a size 0 regular.

ITEMS THAT DON'T FLATTER YOUR FIGURE:

My next tip for what not to wear over 40 is don’t wear items that don’t flatter your figure! My advice is to find out what your best feature is on your body whether that’s your décolleté, arms, legs or waistline and buy clothes that specifically accentuate that part of your body. For example, I personally love my hourglass shape and this one shoulder dress from Express does a fabulous job of accentuating that feature! I’m wearing an XS.

ITEMS YOU CAN'T WEAR AT LEAST 3 DIFFERENT WAYS:

Last but not least, my final tip for what not to wear over 40 is stop buying items you will only wear one time. I never purchase anything unless I can think of AT LEAST 3 ways to wear it. This rule really helps me get the most out of my clothing. A great example is this black strapless dress by Norma Kamali. This is probably one of the most versatile dresses hanging in my closet. As you can see above, I’ve styled it 3 ways and honestly I can think of a handful of events or places I can wear these looks to off the top of my head. I’m wearing an XS in this super versatile dress.
