SIX TIPS TO DRESSING BETTER ON A BUDGET

Wait for sales

Sales happen often and you might just be lucky enough to find the piece you were eyeing with a heavy markdown. Look out for these sales around holidays. Resist the urge to buy immediately and wait for the next sale! 

Go thrifting

Vintage shops and second-hand stores are a great way to find really great pieces at a bargain price. There’s often luxury designer pieces that are hidden among piles of clothes and you’re going to need to do a lot of digging to find suitable pieces, but it’s definitely worth the time and bargain!

Buy essentials

While a lot of people go for trendy pieces, you can never go wrong with having essentials as part of your wardrobe. Essential solid color t-shirts and pants will be cost-effective and you’ll be able to wear them for any occasion. 

Re-evaluate your own closet

Try  shopping in your own closet and rediscovering the clothes that you already have. You can find new ways to style the pieces you already have and fall back in love with them. And if you find pieces that you don’t see yourself wearing anymore, you can have that set aside for donation as well! 

Have black pieces in your closet

Black is a staple color that can be worn in any occasion and can easily be mixed and matched with other pieces. Black t-shirts, black jeans, and black outerwear will always be timeless and will save you money on needing to get new pieces. The AK Logo Black Mockneck Tee is a perfect example of a black piece you need in your closet.
