My sister and I were not allowed expensive clothes. We so badly wanted these Fila sneakers as kids, but my mother took us down to the flea market and got imitation ones. Look at the early Destiny's Child videos. You'll see.
When you're dressing on a budget, simplicity is key.
I'm a bargain shopper! I get a thrill from looking like a million dollars in an outfit that costs next to nothing.
I like consignment stores.
I am convinced that you don't need to spend a fortune to look like a million.
T-shirts for ten dollars are even more fashion today than expensive fashion.
I don't like precious things; I don't spend thousands of dollars on jewellery for myself. I like going into a junk store and finding something for five dollars. That's my style.
You can find nice clothes that suit your style at any number of places - Goodwill, Salvation Army, stores like that. They're all over the place. If you put in the time, you can find good stuff at decent prices.
I know you don't always need to spend a ton of money to be stylish.
I get my clothes from three sources: Target, thrift shops, and friends. It's simple and it's cheap.
Invest in a couple of really good things - a great, classic coat; a good pair of shoes; and a timeless bag - then fill in the gaps with lower-priced pieces.
