My shopping budget is always $0....How can I incorporate the latest trends into my boring wardrobe?

I am a college student (Junior) who once was declared "best-dressed" in high school. Well, my parents slowly cut me off and I work off and on to support myself. After I pay bills, get groceries, and get gas, I don't have enough money to even look at the mall! I go shopping every blue moon and I'm on tight budget so I usually get the simple cheap blue jeans, white shirts, and black slip-ons. I know shopping shouldn't be on my mind cause I'm a student, but I would like to sometimes wear the latest fashions while going to class and walking around campus. I'm 5'7, 132 pounds with a nice shape, and I'm tired of wearing t-shirts, jeans, and clogs. I will have a little money to go shopping in a couple of weeks ($ 150) :(

Since you're on a tight budget, make sure you're not wasting money on ridiculous styles that are bound to go out in a month or two. Try purchasing a few items that you really like that have been around a while so they won't be out of style, I guess. Go for a few pretty accessories or whatever... There's a lot to choose from...
Reply:i'm younger, but i have the same problem. i like to go to salvation army. as far as the mall, prepare by going online and looking at clearance of stores you like and know what your going to get
Reply:Have you tried Clearance racks at Old Navy or Target?

Reply:We should go shopping.





I could fully outfit you with everything you need =)





I would suggest Marshalls and T.J. Maxx. You can't go wrong with deeply discounted Juicy Couture!





eBay is a fantastic place to shop if you know your size and measurements.

Reply:id recommend thrift shops. sense you have a tight budget. i mean thrift shops, not good will or the salvation army.and the good thing about thrift shops, is alot of times they were expensive clothes at one time, now they are just used. and thrift shops never except clothes that smell or have stains. as apposed to target, or Ross, where even though the clothes are brand new, the quality is questionable. if you go to a regular thrift shop, they have usually cool vintage and trendy clothes for really really cheap. like shirts for $5, and vintage clothes are pretty popular right now anyways. if you look in the news paper, or the yellow pages, it should saw where there is one close, or in your area.
Reply:Target has cute stuff and so does Ross. No one has to know you got it from there if you don't want them to. Everything there is totally affordable too!
Reply:ross or mervyns has really cute, but cheap clothes.


and if you have a good eye for fashion, you can probably shop at goodwill for a vintage style.
