No one likes to go jeans shopping and it is easy to skip over denim. One of the best investments for back to school shopping is to purchase quality denim. The last thing you want is for that new pair of pants to rip or for a zipper to break. Denim is too valuable to a wardrobe to buy poor quality. You don't need to drain your bank account, but a pair or two of good quality denim will last you a long time.

Learn to layer! You will save yourself a lot of money and hassle if you learn how to layer your wardrobe. Those summer tanks don't have to be reserved just for hot days. Throw a jacket over them and you've got a new outfit! Rotating your pieces will also keep your wardrobe looking fresh all season.

And wear those dresses, especially in fall. Put on some leggings, a jacket and boots. You have the ultimate fall look and you get another season out of them!
