How to be Stylish on a budget ~ Babe on Budget

I would love to have a closet full of YSL and Chanel, but the truth is I don't . For us girls in their 20's starting our Careers and trying to make ends meet, we sometimes fall under the impression that we can't afford to look stylish. I am a 22 years old girl living on her salary and here is how I keep looking stylish.

Great Hair

You can't look cheap if you have a good hair cut and color. Get yourself a good hair cut to frame your face and add layers for thickness. Ombre and glamor roots are great options for a good hair color.

Invest

Invest in the closet stables that you know will stay with you for a long time. Your shoes and hand bags, a trench coat or watch. I am not saying your should go all Dior on these things, brands such as Micheal Kors, Steve Madden, Karen Millen and All Saints are kind of the best of both worlds.

Tailor

Getting an affordable piece tailored to your body shape will make it look expensive and 10 times more stylish. You can also go to a tailor and get something custom made to yourself, it will be a unique piece and will look more expensive than it looks.

Maintenance

Taking care of your clothes and accessories will keep them look neat when you wear them and will longer their life. Get a fabric shaver or a lint roller to use on your clothes, always clean and hang your clothes. Even if your heels or bag is cheap keep them in boxes and change the caps on your heels.

Sale

This one is kind of obvious when it comes to being stylish on a budget. There are a lot of deals in the Sale racks, especially with some of the expensive high street brands such as Zara or Top Shop.

Dupes

I depend on many dupes in Makeup and fragrances personally. There are a lot of dupes to clothing, bags and shoes and some knock offs also look great.

Nails

Just like hair, your nails with a good shape and good manicure will make you look chic. I like to take care of your natural nails and always keep them short, also whenever I paint them I make sure there is a clear layer to protect them. I would go for fake nails from now and then, and I have to say they look fantastic and not that expensive.
