Do you prefer a calm and quiet environment or a bustling and lively one?

1. Buy Versatile Pieces

One of the best ways to learn how to look fashionable on a budget is to buy versatile pieces. Choosing pieces that you can wear with many different things will really stretch your wardrobe. For example, instead of buying a pair of coral jeans for spring, you might opt for white because it goes with so much more. I try to buy a lot of versatile bottoms and branch out a little more with my taste in tops. You will find your own groove for this.

2. Borrow and Trade

If you are lucky enough to have a friend or family member you are close to that is your size, use that to your advantage. Borrow from each other and trade items. Even if you don’t share the same size, you can still borrow and trade purses, jewelry and other accessories. This can really help you achieve a different look. Additionally, since your friend or family member probably has a different taste, you are getting a new twist on your look.

3. Shop Secondhand

Don’t underestimate the treasures you can find when you shop secondhand. You may very well find some things that still have the tags on them. Or you may find something you have been looking for at a fraction of the original cost. The great thing about shopping secondhand is that your money goes so much farther. You can get a lot more for a lot less.

4. Realize the Power of Accessories

Accessories can really pull an outfit together. Additionally, they can give the same outfit two or more different looks. You can wear a very simple outfit but make it look very classy because of the accessories that you add. Try to make it a point to shop for accessories when you shop for clothing. It can take a bit to get into the habit of doing this but it really works.

5. Watch Sales

I have often said, if it isn’t on sale, I just don’t buy it and that is true. I rarely ever pay full price for anything I wear. There are too many good sales to do that. Get in the habit of watching the sales at your favorite stores. You will soon notice there are patterns in the sales and be able to get the best deal.

6. Learn How to Mix and Match

Learning to mix and match will make your outfit options so much more numerous. Don’t be afraid to step outside of the box. I have learned a lot from following some fashion gurus on Pinterest. You can do the same thing. Soon you will be mixing and matching like a pro.

7. Don’t Count out Lower End Stores

Sometimes we get so much in the habit of shopping at certain stores that are higher end that we don’t even consider the treasures we might find at lower end stores. Don’t count out stores like Walmart, Target or dollar stores. You can find some really cute things there. Even if you aren’t crazy about their clothing, you could still find things like scarves or belts you love. Take a look and see what is there.

These 7 tips can help you look fashionable on a budget but there are many more things you can do, too. What is your best secret for looking fashionable on a budget? I hope you will share with us!
