I am a woman with a fashionista soul plus a cheapest spending plan. Living examine to check nevertheless, doesn’t need to mean giving up 3 square meals a day inside the name of style. It basically means either working clothes into your spending budget or finding an alternative for your high end infatuation.
A 20-year old elegant chick, in will need of some thing to wear for a night out on the town is confronted by a very harsh reality…funds are low and rent is due. By no means fear my broke classy maiden…there’s beauty in faking it till you make it (or right up until you get your next paycheck…whichever comes first).
Before setting a stiletto clad foot out the door, go to the boutique that is certainly located within the comforts of your really own household. That’s right…your closet(s). Every single fashion conscious woman really should know that the very first law of shopping is purchasing separates that could be worn with anything! In the event you do not personal a pair of basic black pants, a black skirt, and also a black or white cotton shirt…stops the madness! Please will not pass go and usually do not collect $200! The beauty of separates is that in case you mix them just right, they will often appear like a brand new outfit. It can be all in how you accessorize!
If you must have your store bell jingle fix, look at skipping the mall highways for the large box byways. Parles-vous le Target? The Neiman-Marcus of one stop shop is also home to some of today’s trendiest and more importantly, spending budget friendly fashions for just about every kind of woman…the young buppie, the ultra chic B.A.P., and also the chillaxin homegirl. From Mossimo to Liz Lange and guest appearances by international designers such as Paul & Joe, Target makes style on a price range a reality. But then again my true fashionistas can make anything look like a million bucks.
Other glam tips for those on a less than fabulous budget:
*Can’t feed your high end make-up craving, H.I.P. by L’oreal gives the same great pigments as those other guys, for half the price. Lines for instance the Cover Girl Queen Collection, Maybelline, and Rimmel are also a great remedy for your makeup counter blues.
*Remember its quality not quantity. Is it really cost effective to be purchasing the same piece over and over again because it won’t stand up after the very first wash?
*Always take a pre-written shopping list. Hopefully it will make the quick stop…a quick shop.
*Be real with yourself, is it far more important to have running water or the latest kicks? Knowing and Committing to your budget is paramount.
