So many magazines out there push women towards designer purchases. For many, this will not only break the bank but could leave them feeling frustrated and out of style. I’m here to tell you that any woman on any budget can easily be fashionable and chic!

Here are a few tips for how to stay in style, all while keeping money in your wallet!

1) Hunt vintage. Vintage and thrift stores have hidden gems that are typically gentler on the budget. Take an afternoon with some girlfriends and play with the clothing and accessories from decades past. There are hundreds of beautiful items that are just waiting to go in your closet!
2) Skip the expensive trends. Items that are trendy are not worth the splurge if you’re on a budget. Buy less expensive versions of trends in stores such as H&M and forever 21. When the piece is no longer in style in 6 months you’ll be happy you didn’t break the bank for it.
3) Accessorize. Jewelry, scarves, hats, and any other accessories completely change the look and mood of an outfit — without having to spend a lot. Get a variety to suit your many different lifestyle requirements and add in more classic pieces. You’ll be surprised at how many outfits you can create!
4) Black is not all that. I’m here to set the record straight: Black does NOT make everyone look good, even if it’s considered a classic shade. I do recommend splurging on more classic items that will last in your closet, but don’t forget to add some color to give your clothing an extra “pop.”

Follow these tips to get the ‘best bang for your buck’, all while being chic, stylish, and confident!
