Limiting New clothes buying to underwear, hosiery, shoes and new slacks or tops like
T-shirts. Limit items to what's not available in 2nd hand stores or cheaper new.
Have basic colours in clothes and matching all other items to these colours.
Limit colour in bottom half to plain colours. Black, Navy, Olive Green, Taupe, Bone or White.
Keeping shoes and handbags to Black or Brown only. Have one colour only.

I don't think that I own a black or brown handbag (I don't wear brown period, and black is too plain to me).
Bags are my fetish. However I get them really cheap in Chinatown. Right now the one I'm using is green, and I've had many compliments on it. I'm also known to change bags with the outfit.
My secrets for clothes are my bottom half is always denim, black, or gray (I hate browns, khakis, etc).
Another key is to change jewelry often. That can make or break an outfit. I could wear the same thing 2 days in a row and change the necklace (I make them) and people think I'm wearing 2 different outfits.
