How to be fashionable on a budget

Well, we all know that 2009 is not so good in terms of economic situation. And of course if economy were bad that means ordinary person like me that loves to style will definitely be affected on economic crisis. That’s why I thought of writing on how to be fashionable this 2009 without spending too much.

FIRST, I think most important thing to do is to research and know the latest trends this 2009. Know what’s IN and knows what’s OUT. Check out the Internet, magazines and all other portal to know the latest.

SECOND, Check out your wardrobe; know if you got the basic items like jewelries, scarves, belts, hair accessories and shoes that can always be use on your everyday get-ups. Segregate things that can be useful and can’t be used anymore. List down stuff that you don’t have and when buying, prioritize the important items like skirts, pants and jackets.

THIRD, shop on malls on their discount day, yes, sales items are usually out of trend but since you research on the latest fashion items, you have a pretty good idea on which on the sale items can be useful to you.
When buying, make sure you choose the basic colors that could easily mix and match to whatever that is in there on your cabinet. Surely, those old wardrobe you have will turn into dazzling new wardrobe.

And FOURTH, Donate! How is this connected to your being fashionable?? Yes it is connected, because being kind and generous to others is definitely fashionable. Since, you already checked out your wardrobe, and I know, you will found out that you have many clothes and stuffs that you don’t use anymore, so instead of filing up all those things on your cabinet and rot! Why not donate those to the needy instead?
