important to remember the following:<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take inventory of pieces that you already have and inspect them for wear and tear.\u00a0 You do not need 10 new black t-shirts if you have two that you love.\u00a0 Buying multiples of the same style just creates chaos in your closet. \u00a0However, if you need one, this Old Navy top is a STEAL at $8!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a

good idea.\u00a0 These never seem to last from one season to the next due to staining.\u00a0 Plus, I use them as layering pieces going into autumn.\u00a0 I love this version from JCrew on sale for $59.50!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unionvilletimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Kelly21.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"Kelly2\"

prices are drastically slashed.\u00a0 Obviously, styles and trends change from year to year, but a solid navy tank or bikini is classic and timeless (like this Splendid bathing suit at Piperlime.com for $79)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unionvilletimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Kelly31.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"Kelly3\"

cheap now, just be sure to have a place to store them that you will not forget!\u00a0 (This has happened to me more than I care to admit).<\/li>\n<li>Never buy sunscreen in bulk at a discount unless there is an expiration date.\u00a0 Most formulations lose their efficacy within one year.<\/li>\n<li>Leather sandals are definitely worth purchasing and I am LOVING these hot pink thongs from The Gap
