10 Items That Will Make Your Clothes Last Longer

LearnVest — Wed, 16 May 2012 00:15:55 PDT

We spend time trying to save money on shopping for clothing, but what will really help us save is learning how to lengthen the life of the clothes we already have. LearnVest gives tips on how to make our clothing last longer.

After spending time thinking about how to maximize our wardrobes and analyzing what our clothes say about us, we've got our eyes on making our closets as cute and long-lasting as possible.

Because there are little tricks to make your clothes fit better, look better, and last longer. And not taking the best care of the items you already own means you're not getting the most bang for your clothing buck.

We put together our list of the top 10 most valuable items worth spending a little money on. From the $9 do-it-all tool that takes care of fallen hems, gaping holes, and visible bra straps to the successful way to bypass dry cleaning bills, these little fashion fixers won't disappoint.

Plus they're all under $30 . . . So you can still afford that sundress you've been eyeing on Pinterest.

Website of the Day: 1Band 1Brand

GeekSugar — Tue, 17 May 2011 06:21:52 PDT

Discovering new music is just as exciting as finding a new pair of awesome jeans. This theory is tested and proven on 1Band 1Brand, a new daily deal site spotlighting indie bands and designers.

Each week, a new band and a new fashion label are highlighted alongside each other, giving you discount codes for online shopping and name-your-own-price deals on music (which you can sample ahead of time). Since music can inspire fashion (and vice versa), it seems that great care has been taken in deciding what bands and brands to feature on which days - I can totally see the connections between the two featured this week. Sign up for email alerts to get a heads up on the deals delivered right to your inbox.

Unique vs. Cheap Chic

OnSugar Blog — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 03:04:05 PDT

We're always weighing a killer, unique purchase against other, maybe more budget-friendly buys, so we totally relate to this OnSugar blogger's dilemma. Weigh in on Beauty and the Budget's fashion query and help her decide which is the better purchase?

I have been obsessed with this 3-D Mesh Jumper since the beginning of this year when I first spotted it on Lookbook.nu. It's a really great piece from American Apparel, and even though it's a bit pricey, I still think it's worth the money. However, I still can't bring myself to spend $90 on a sweater. I was hoping it would be on sale by now, but I am beginning to think it's too beautiful to be a mark down. Nonetheless, I still find myself debating on whether or not to buy it . . .

And when you look at all of the other great pieces you can get for the same price, it's makes the decision even more difficult.

Which choice do you prefer?

Uncovered: Do Your Children Sleep Naked?

Heather Maddan — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 06:00:00 PST

Not all kids put on pajamas before they go to sleep! Some kiddos head to bed in the buff because they like the freedom of being undressed or they get too hot in their slumber. While some homes have a clothing optional policy, other parents prefer their offspring be outfitted at all times. Which group does your family fall into?
