I love clothes. I have been obsessed with finding new trends and trying new looks for a few years now. Retail therapy is sort of an addiction to me these days. I love finding any reason I can to get a new outfit. However, I don’t have all the money in the world, so I use some special tips to get the best out of my outfits for the least amount of money. I’ll let you in on them, so you can hopefully find them useful for you and your bank account.

1. My first tip is to buy cheap versions of outfit basics. This includes shirts, jeans, shoes, shorts, skirts, and any article of clothing you can think of in its generic form. These items can be found for less than $10 at your local department stores such as TJ Maxx, Target, Marshall’s, etc. All you need are basic short sleeve, for the summer, and long sleeve, for the winter, shirts in black and white, or any other color you wear often, that can match with almost every outfit you have. The same idea goes for shorts, skirts, and jeans: buy some good denim in black, white, and blue that fit you well, and you’re set! Finally, the best shoes to purchase are sandals or sneakers in black, white, and tan. These will most likely cost a little bit more than the tops and bottom, but it shouldn’t be by much. With all these basics, you can have cute and easy outfits to last you a long time.
2. My next tip is to shop at stores you wouldn’t normally think to shop at. Chances are, they will have sales for your favorite brands. Brand name stores are overrated and will most likely trick you out of your money. Stores like Stein Mart, TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, etc., carry brand name items for much cheaper than their original retail prices. Those stores are a fashion gold mine, so I would recommend spending your shopping trips there.
3. My last tip is, if you watch influencers or people online to get fashion ideas, to online shop and use promo codes you find online, to get money off your online purchases. In our society today, social media influencers are making tons of money by pairing up with brands and becoming ambassadors for them. If you have something brand name you really want to purchase, you can most likely find an influencer who has a promo code for you to get money off the purchase. This comes in handy a lot with online shopping to diminish the extra price of shipping.

That’s all the advice I have for you today folks. Go out into the world and don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Try all types of styles and trends, but, most importantly, be yourself!
