Fashion and style are not just keeping up with the latest trends. Instead they become an outlet for your personal sense of creativity and imagination. Being “in fashion” is really about creating your own look and feeling confident about it.

With that said, we are living in a questionable economy, so we have to use financial sense when displaying fashion sense. Most of us enjoy looking good but do not enjoy the financial setback looking good can bring. Here are some fashion advice and ideas to those on a budget.

Look for great buys that cost less. Nothing works better than one outfit that you can wear three different ways, depending on where you’re going. Here is a very clean look that can be dressed up for a night out or dressed down for weekend wear. These trend-setting looks were accomplished for under $80 (including shoes and accessories).

Work Look:

This look is clean and professional. Pair a high-waisted pencil skirt with moderate length with a classic white button-down shirt. Add a simple but eye-catching silver choker. Go with a black hobo or tote bag. To pull off this look, wear a moderate, but comfortable heel. And you’re ready for work!
(Pencil skirt=$14/white shirt $15/chain=$2)

Evening Look:

Take the pencil skirt and the button-down shirt to another level by simply leaving the shirt untucked and adding an oversized, black-rouged (style of material that’s scrunched together) belt. Try black leather peep-toe pumps. Add a rouged clutch to accent the belt. This outfit is stylish and flattering on any body type.

(shoes/pump=$15/belt=$8/clutch=$8)

Weekend Look:

This is a very simple look. Wearing the same pencil skirt, we paired it with a bright ribbed tank top (for added contrast) and black flip flop sandals. Go with a set of black and silver bangles. Add a long silver chain to make a stronger fashion statement. The bag should be hobo or tote (big but not overpowering).

(sandals=5/tank top=$5/set of bangles=$6)

 

Now you’ve created three different looks from one main outfit! Remember, you wear the outfit; the outfit shouldn’t wear you. Fashion is only an extension of your personality/creativity. Now go, be beautiful, be creative—but more important, be confident!
