Style on a Budget: Cheap and Chic
By yenajeon
High Fashion on a Budget?
Ladies and gentlemen: We are in a recession. Okay, not exactly breaking news, but for once, in modern America, the fashion industry is not only noticing the current economic recession, but reacting to it. Untouchable design houses such as Versace and Dolce and Gabbana have been majorly affected by the global recession. Those large wallet millionaires aren't so freely spending as they were circa 2004!
Even Kim Kardashian and hubby Reggie Bush set a $100 spending limit for Valentines Day in acknowledgment of the current crisis. If they can do it (celebs), so can we!
Any fashionista can stay fashionable while shopping on a budget. Plus, it would be so sad to cut out shopping completely from your life. I have scoured the internet SUPER thoroughly (trust me and my currently carpal tunneled wrist on this) for the most up-to-date, trendy must-haves for all stylish women on a budget. I also put into consideration the longevity of the style. Meaning, what's a bargain if you'll only be wearing it for one season? So, consider many of these 'cheap' pieces classic, timely, fashionable and best of all, CHIC and CHEAP!

I guess you can look like you are wearing the expensive clothes if you choose carefully. I look for sales and I find them. That helps a lot. Good hub
