Be Fashionable. On a Budget.

Lately, I have been receiving lots of compliments from my mom and sister about my fashion sense and my outfits. This is not normal but as I have grown into an adult a have dropped the wallet chains, black lipstick and chokers for distressed jeans, chucks and chunky scarves. In fact, my sister has been asking me to seek out certain articles of clothing as they come into fashion because I can get the best deals.

Well, I'm here to share those deals with you.
For starters, eBay needs to become your best friend if it isn't already. When your looking to a specific piece like an infinity scarf or certain type of shoes something then your going to search for it right? Sure thing! When you do search by 'lowest price + shipping' these will usually start at the auction starting price and almost always start at .01 $. I know what your thinking, "But Erin I don't want to waste time sitting and watching a stupid auction just to win a new hat."
Not to worry, like everything else in life these days you can set the notifications to let you know when you have been outbid or when time is running out. That way as long you stay the highest bidder you don't even have to worry about it. If the item is from China or sold by a company rather than in individual person there is likely several of the same listings floating around. Some times these are used as a feeler for what the item is likely to sell for in the states. Use this to your advantage by bidding on a couple of them while they are low and when one price gets too high for an item just let that one go and watch your other options. I have scored several items this way. Two baseball hats for .11 cents each. Three infinity scarves for no more than $1 for each.

Sometimes we have the hardest time getting away from some of our favorite name brands. I really like my Charlotte Russe jeans but I can assure you the world will continue to spin and life will continue if your shoes are not actual Chuck Taylors. I bought my mock sneaks for 13 bucks. (keep in mind that in some cases you are in fact trading quality for price but when three pairs of fake sneakers is still cheaper than one pair of the name brand I will wait for my shipments thank you very much.)

When your just not sure what your looking for and really need a website to guide you then I highly recommend 10dollarmall  everything you could want under ten bucks. I order from them all the time and I'm always happy. They tend to keep up with fashion and usually have a huge selection of nice tops and, of course, shoes! Lots of Shoes! Word to the wise the sizes are really close so if you are in between M and L go with M. Some of the tops tend to sit a little baggie so keep that in mind when looking at different styles of tops.

Alright, you're all set for clothes and shoes, even accessories, so you're good to go? Hold up! Make up, how on earth and you head on out without a little face enhancer. Scroll on over to E.L.F for a pro looking style. The prices can't be beat and I can tell you after years of ordering from them that the quality is always fantastic. Even the brushes are great quality and last forever.

These websites will save you a ton of time and money when pulling your look together. Go ahead and comment with some of your favorite sites and stores you use to save money and happy styling.
