How To Look Chic On A Budget
There’s
nothing better than bagging a bargain but there’s also nothing worse than
wearing something that looks cheap and tacky.
So I think the goal we always work towards is looking chic but still on
a budget. Here’s how:
- Shop in the sales
Make a list of designer or pricey items
that you want and then hold out until the sales start. I love making wish lists on ASOS for some of
their high end brands and then as soon as they go in the sale I’ll know because
I can see them get reduced on my wish list!

- Mix high end with low end
This one I learnt from my mum as a little
girl. You don’t need a full outfit of
designer pieces to look chic. Just one
or two items will do and then team them with high street pieces and no one will
ever know the whole outfit is not designer.
- Shop high end high street stores
There are some stores that sell a happy
medium if you can afford it. Not cheap
but not too expensive either; French Connection, Whistles and All Saints are
good examples and always have great sales too.

- Seek inspiration from Instagram and Pinterest
Check out celebrity and blogger’s designer
looks on the web and then try to recreate them yourselves. Online stores such as Missguided, Boohoo and
Pretty Little Thing are great for making dupes of celebrity looks.
- Invest in the classics
Sometimes you do need to get a bit spendy but
as long as it’s an item that you know you’ll wear forever it’s worth it because
it will also last forever. Items such as jeans, leather jackets and a
good white shirt.
