"Top Four Fashion Myths: No. One"

"You need to be “wealthy” to be fashionable”

False.

Being fashionable isn’t about having a lot of money, it’s about having a function-able budget and  a unique sense of style.



Budget-Friendly Shops:

Goodwill Consignment Stores
These are goldmines,
you can find designer garments
 at dollar store prices…if you want
a vintage look  this is the perfect
place to go shopping!

Retail Stores
(like Forever 21, Love Culture, Cotton On, H&M, Charlotte Russe etc.)
Places like  Forever 21 and Cotton On
provide fashionable clothing at reasonable
prices, you can find current trends
to fit your budget.

Outlet Stores
(Like Armani Exchange, Guess, Nike Factory etc.)
There are outlet malls all across the world,
these shopping centers host stores that sell
clothing at cheaper prices. For example, even in
Japan there is a mall dedicated to providing
customers with discount clothing.
If you’re ever in Japan :
Toki Premium Outlets

“Markdown” Retail Stores
(like Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, DD’s Discounts etc. )
“Never Pay Full Price for Fabulous”
Chains like these sell designer names at
retail prices. Although they give the
illusion that you’re getting a great deal on
 designer products, the truth is , some designers
specifically create these goods at a lower price
so they can be sold at lower prices. Nevertheless,
these stores are a great place to shop because
they offer you quality items at an
affordable appraisal.

Department Stores
There are a few department stores that
actually sell clothing at reasonable prices;
you will almost always see a weekend
clearance sale at these stores.
Macy’s
JCPenny
Kohl’s
Sears
Try shopping for brands like:
-Material Girl by Madonna
-American Rag
-MyStyle Lab Brands
