I save 10 bucks a week and put it back, just for me. When I have about 200 bucks I go shopping!

My biggest cheap style tip is to buy trendy clothes that you’ll only wear for a season at some place like forever 21, where they are cheap. Invest more on basics that you’ll have forever and accessories that can be worn with everything. Also, shop from the back of the store forward. They hide the good sales in the back.
I think buying layering pieces is a great way to save money. Not only can you mix and match, but it’s a completely different outfit.

I buy cheap shoes–especially sandals. They will be worn out by the end of summer but by next summer there will be new trends so it doesn’t matter!
Look for coupons and sales before going shopping
If at all possible use coupons and catch sales. The best way I know is to learn how to sew and make your own stuff!

My tip is to follow your budget! Figure out how much you have, and then you’ll buy something you really love/need with your money, and not just buy things on impulse.
Hi. My best tip is to shop all the final final sales. I get shoes at under $30. By volunteering at a church clothing store I get over 80 percent of my clothes for free for me and my family. That’s the biggest help.

Perfect! Not only is this such great timing its also wonderfully my style!
ebay! i buy a lot of clothes there. prices are thrift store comperable, but you can search for just your size rather than going through racks and racks
Shopping on line let’s you compare prices. Also you get really good ideas and sales. You can also get closeouts, discontinued styles, one of a kinds, etc. These are great.

One thing that I have learned is to be picky while shopping. Whatever the trendy look may be, it’s not always for you. You’ll feel better about yourself when you only buy thing you genuinely like, and you’ll save money you otherwise would have wasted buying into trends.
My wife and her friends get together once a month and have a swap party. They all bring a few of their gently worn outfits, a bottle of wine or margueritas, get bubbly, exchange outfits and have a great time.
Thrift stores and clearance sales always add some style for those of us with a budget.
My best tip is to shop the clearance racks!

I buy a lot on Ebay and I also shop sales. Can’t go wrong on a clearance sale.
Mine is to shop at stores like TJ Maxx and Marshalls, I can find a lot of my favorite brands but at much lower prices!

I always look for sales and check the clearance racks carefully. Friends are amazed at what I can find sometimes for a few bucks.
i would say host a swap party with friends!! not only is it lots of fun but you can get rid of things you no longer wear and get some amazing new pieces for free!!!
by investing in one key peice and buying lots and lots of cheap trendy items!
I buy a few good quality, classic pieces that I can wear season to season (shoes, coats, dresses, nice shirts) and I use accessories and cheaper clothing items that are trendy.
Sometimes I check out the thrift stores. You never know what you will find

I share lots of clothes with my sisters!!!
I never buy anything unless it’s on sale. I look for coupons from stores to help save on money also.

My best tip would be to add only items that you can wear with at least 3 items already in your wardrobe, and to spend only small amounts on trends, generally accessories are the most cost effective method to update a look quickly and inexpensively.
Shop ebay is my best tip! I have bought so many designer dresses with tags still attached for 1/3 the prics. The key is knowing what size you wear by that particular designer.

I buy off brand and out of season clothes
Buy classic styles that you can wear for years to come – don’t get this year’s trends as they’ll be “out” by next year usually.

My best budget style tip is to buy clothes at consignment stores.

I shop at discount stores like Ross, Marshalls and T.J. Maxx. I also like to browse consignment stores and thrift shops. I never pay full price for anything!
