Shopping on a budget does not mean that you have to look like you got your outfit from a dumpster. A thrifty shopper is smart, yet fashionable. Smart shopping for anyone consists of taking a key piece and mixing and matching.
For guys, an easy method is planning outfits around one pair of pants. Take a pair of khakis and match them with a button down on Monday. Then recycle Wednesday with a fitted polo. Voila! Two outfits from one pair of pants!
The same method can work for a girl. Take a pair of dark skinny jeans paired with a cute racerback or crewneck for a casual look on Monday; take those same jeans with a light cardigan and add a cuff on the jeans.
I’ve saved you a few bucks, so now as a broke college student you don’t have to choose between food and clothes.
In this economy we are all struggling, but fashion isn’t a want, it is a must! With my advice, you can look like a million bucks.
