There's no doubt about it: clothes are expensive. It's even more expensive trying to build a new wardrobe from scratch. In this Q&A episode, host Bridget McManus answers a question from PeopleJam member chicago, who wants to know the best way to update a wardrobe without breaking the bank.
In this episode:
I heart Bridget. She looks great in poka dots. See you Monday!
Here i was thinking i was the only person who used the word "smashing". A smashing job as always McManus.
I think I'm the only one of my friends that can sew. There are alot of great tips in here that I don't think many people think about regarding how to make clothes better and where to buy them.
Oops, lol. I forgot to log in!

Sew clothes? I wonder how many people know how to sew clothes here. I never even considered that option, and maybe would never be able to do it. But good for those who can.
I was hoping to learn a new tip or secret that I didn't already know. This episode seemed rushed and really pushed corporate name brands. GAP, BANANA REPUBLIC? They have the most high priced crap ever. Once the trend is out, yes they slash the prices to pennies, but then that defeats this persons question doesn't it? How does one look good and up-to-date on little money. Shop consignment, Buffalo Exchange, try looking through magazines at new fashions and raid the closet for old things that you can re-surface and make brand new. There are a LOT of tricks that can be done without wasting your money at Corporate stores. ESPECIALLY with times being so tough now. just my opinion.
This wasn't the best or most well-thought out video that Bridget has done, especially since it was aimed at guys. I don't know why she didn't suggest resale stores, consignment shops or even the Goodwill or Salvation Army stores, which often have NEW clothing at greatly reduced prices. There was a lot of time wasted here with her shtick about how she wanted to be a fashion designer. I think most of this video was off-message, which is too bad, since she's normally very effective.
