Let’s Talk About Fashion! (And How You Don’t Have to Break the Bank to Look Stylish)

Hey my super stylish Fabbies! Happy April! Over the last few weeks I’ve gotten requests to talk more about fashion on my blog, so here it is! I have always loved fashion and clothes for as long as I can remember, however, I have never been a fan of spending a whole lot of money on clothes. Ever. Not ever. (Now, shoes and bags are a whole ‘nother story hehe). Some of my favorite places to shop are probably some of your favorite places to shop too! H&M, Zara, Topshop,  Charlotte Rouse, Forever21, TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, Kohls, Target, etc., and I love random boutiques that I come across in the many cities that I have lived. I also love to shop online, so I have my favorites for that too. ASOS.com is probably my favorite online shop. Looking good is always affordable! It’s all about knowing what looks good on you, and not falling prey to certain clothes just because they’re trendy. Let’s be honest: Just because it’s trendy does not mean it’s gonna look good on everyone! I like to have fun with clothes, and it’s so easy to do when you’re not breaking the bank trying to look good!

Below I have shown some of my favorite looks over the last several months, with outfit details as well. I try to remember where each item has come from, but some of my clothes I’ve had for years so it’s harder to remember exactly where it’s from. One of my favorite pairs of jean shorts I own are over 15 years old! I wore them in high school and got them from Sears. My favorite bra of all time is from Walmart and I bought it when I was a sophomore in College. So yeah, I can keep stuff for long periods of time too. Lol!
But besides the shoes that I wear, typically my outfits from head to ankle (I love to wear hats), all come in under $150 on average. And that’s average. Because you can certainly catch me on any given day in an outfit that costs less than $30. And you better believe I rock the hell out of it. 😉
