Think about what you wear. 

Maybe 20% of your clothes about 80% of the time?

We’ve found five ways to make your old unused clothes look fresh for fall.

It’s safe to assume that Amanda Davis, wife of Cowboys offensive lineman Leonard Davis wants for nothing. 

Look at her closet! 

But like most women she has some clothes that don’t get used.

I had lots of tags on a lot of my stuff and she was like, ‘have you worn this ever,“ said Amanda Davis.

Amanda hired “style fab inc” stylist Gretchen Ratkovic to help her sort through what she has!

They added five key, inexpensive items. 

“I love to find bargains, too,“ said Davis.

First, statement jewelry, like these rhinestone bangles

“Oh, yeah, my Sam moons, yeah $10.00 laughs,” said Davis.

Gretchen says these are high impact, and cheap add a scarf to your neck or head.

“I would say $30.00,“ said Ratkovic

Leggings, spend no more than $30.00

“They have carried over, they were here last year. You don’t need to spend a lot of money on them,“ said Ratkovic.

Go classic with a white button up. Don’t splurge here either!
Freshen up your wardrobe with cotton tees. Again, go cheap. Most fade

“This is the designer label, it’s $65.00 and right here we have a value piece. Same item. $9.99” said Ratkovic.

Amanda says Gretchen helped change her shopping mentality and she’s saved big bucks

“It’s like grocery lists. Don’t go grocery shopping when you’re hungry. Don’t go clothes shopping when you think you have nothing to wear because really you do,“ said Davis.

It’s a win, any husband appreciates, even a Dallas Cowboy!

There are a few things you should splurge on:

Premium denim jeans, a good suit, a nice pair of shoes or boots.
