How to Dress Well and Cheaply

© Belinda Stas

Ladies: Nothing to wear? Use these tips and you'll be well on your way to looking expensive and put-together without spending a fortune!

Inventory Everything You Own

Take all clothing out of drawers, and all hangers out of the closet. Spread them out on every available surface. Note what you have and what you need. Seeing all your clothes laid out and visible will inspire you to create new outfits from what you already have.

Hit Up Cheap Stores for Staples

Everyone needs basic tank tops, underwear, bras, panties and the like. Stores like Target and Wal-Mart are great places to stock up on these wardrobe stapes for very cheap. When they become worn, toss them out and buy fresh stuff.

Know Where to Hunt for Treasure

To find some real designer treasures on the cheap, try searching at retailers like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, or Century 21. Build up your stamina before you head in, because it takes some energy to find gold. Remember, however, that sometimes you’ll find the items of your dreams, and sometimes you will walk away empty-handed. It’s a toss-up, because they get their wares from all over and the good stuff goes fast.

Do your Designer Research

Check out fashion websites and magazines to familiarize yourself with designer’s current styles. Once you get an idea of what look you want to go for, search the internet and the mall for similar style. Fashion is one big incestuous family. Mid and low-level designers rip off high end brands constantly. You may be wearing a jacket that looks exactly like a Marc Jacobs, and you had no idea! Once you do, pass it off as that item. No one will ever know.

Splurge When You Should

While you can buy basics at any cheap retailer and look good, there are a few items that you should spend more on, as they will put you together like no other.

Pick a Signature Look

Once you find something that works for you, work it to death! Make it part of you; a sexy signature style. Everyone will want to know your secret for looking so hot, and so you!
