How to look fashionable on a limited budget In this day and age fashion is all the rage. Styles and trends are ongoing and ever changing. Fashion used to be a shirt, pants and shoes but now it’s a little more complicated than that. We have handbags, dresses, skirts, shorts, leggings, jewelry, shoes, shoes and more shoes. But women and men alike are always looking for the most fashionable hottest outfit. However some people may not exactly have the bank account for such ridiculous things and would rather save their money for things they need such as rent, health insurance, food, bills and maybe they have a child or pets to take care of. But fear not! There are plenty of ways to look fashionable without draining bank accounts or maxing out credit cards. All you need is a little time, patience and a new perspective on fashion! The first step is to look at what you already own. Figure out your own style and don’t try to copy what people are wearing. One of the most important things about fashion is wearing what you want to wear and loving it. You also don’t always have to follow trends if you don’t like it. The second step is to set a budget. When you go shopping set a limit on yourself and come up with a number of the items you want to buy for that price. For example, let’s say you didn’t want to spend any more than $100 but with that you want at the least 6-7 items. I mean just think about it. If you spend $100 on 5 items or less are you really even getting good deals? Probably not. That’s about $20 per item. The third step is to accessorize, beautify and blow dry. Accessories are much more important than people think they are. It could make the difference of between a plain old Jane outfits to a glamourous stylish outfit. When you discover the magic of accessories you will never stop, and that’s a good thing! But at the same time don’t go splurging on overpriced jewelry because then you will either be broke
