You don't have to be millionaire in order to be fashionable, you can definitely be fashionable with a pair of jeans which cost you $3.99 and a T-shirt that cost you $1.00. Being fashionable doesn't come with a price tag. I used to spend lots of money on clothes and the latest pair of shoes just so I could be, “Fly." But then I thought about it and said to myself, spending over a $100 on an outfit just so I can be fashionable is ridiculous. So I gave myself a budget and told myself I would shop around it. Now Iam not cheap, if I see something out of my budget and I love it, I would definitely get it. It's ok to splurge on yourself from time to time, but I am more mindful of buying things that I do need and would wear, instead of buying and spending money on things I won't wear, but got it because it was cute. If Iam not in love with it, I won't purchase it. However, if Iam unsure and I go home and think about it, then guess what, I would go back to get it.
I wanted to come up with a blog that shows you that you can be on a budget and still be fashionable. We are all on a budget and we all have responsibilities that doesn't allow us to go over board with shopping and that's ok. As I said before I used to spend money on clothes like there was no tomorrow and not even wear certain things that I used to buy. It was getting out of control so I put myself on a budget. Honestly it was the best decision that I did for myself, not only am I saving more money but Iam also learning to be responsible on buying things that I need and not want.
( All 3 Outfits Under $100)
Remember, you don’t have to spend a million bucks to be fashionable. We often get caught up in wearing the hottest labels thinking that it makes the outfit that we risk our bank accounts. It is okay to not own a Fendi bag, Chanel sandals, and Cartier bracelet. The labels do not make the outfit, you do. Now there is nothing wrong with owning luxury items, however, do not let it consume you. Once a month, splurge on a designer handbag or designer shoes. However, do not use your last to own these items.
The best thing you could do when shopping on a budget is catch major sales, explore coupon-suzy.com, and scope the clearance section. That’s right, the CLEARANCE SECTION!! While it may not be as organized as new arrivals (which I think they do on purpose), the clearance section still has cute items for a discounted price. Most stores take an extra percentage off the clearance price, meaning you’ll save a ton of money. Especially if you’re shopping out of season! Buy your winter items in the summer and your summer items in the winter; you would be surprised how much money you save. Keep in mind, dollars do add up.
A lot of people always ask me where do I shop? I wouldn't say Iam the most fashionable person but I wear what I like and what compliments my body. It wasn't always this way; I use to wear baggy jeans and big T-shirts to hide what was underneath my clothes. I didn't always like the fact that I was a big girl, so I never wore anything nice because I didn't think I would look pretty in it. It's either I spent a lot of money to have nice things so others could see I had the latest or just buy clothes that would cover what I was feeling inside. Well now confidence is me and I will wear anything that I like. My Confident Dolls remember Be Confident, Be You. Don't stop from wearing something you love only because you are afraid of what others may say. You love it, you're confident in it, then wear it.
Honestly my favorite store is Forever 21, they really need to give me a lifetime of discount or a deal because 80% or even more of my clothes I buy from Forever 21. Not only is it reasonale but it's fashionable and it compliments my body. It's hard being curvy at the bottom and finding jeans to fit just right, for a very long time I would search for a brand to have the perfect pair of jeans for me and Forever 21 jeans feels like heaven on me. From tops, to bathing suits to dresses, I wear it all from Forever 21. The material isn't cheap as some people may think due to the prices being reasonable, to me the material is good and I look GOOD in it. I also shop at Lane Bryant, Old Navy, H&M & Stores online as in Boohoo Official and Asos.
