Stylish on a
Chic Budget
The secret to having the best outfits while staying on a budget is recycling your clothing pieces. When shopping for new clothes, target basic colours and patterns to style them in any way you want.
Something I have noticed shopping alot this pandemic is that brands don’t sometimes matter as much as quality. When shopping online I never touched the clothes so even ordering from brands I know I received some pieces that were uncomfortable to wear.
Stores​​
​​
It’s all about stores when looking to save money. Do some research if you are shopping physically to not get sucked in the sales and buying stuff you are never gonna wear again.
The biggest thing to stay on budget when shopping online is hitting the sales tab. Before buying any item look at the reviews many times people show how it looks on them and in different outfits.
Look at stores close by and consider one's like SuperStore and Walmart, just because they are supermarkets doesn’t mean they don’t carry great items. Also buying from those kinds of stores will allow you to not feel as bad if anything happens to a piece such as unremovable stain or rips.
