Budget Friendly Fashion Bloggers Can Stretch A Wardrobe

By Jerry Murray


The rules of fashion seem to not be as rigid as they once were but often when the average person wants to try something new, they feel better having a second opinion. Usually, the person sought is someone that likes to talk about fashion or who can coordinate almost any outfit. For the person looking to save money, reading sites by budget friendly fashion bloggers can have an amazing effect on the wallet.

There are many ways to find a nice bargain on clothing and accessories but often people do not know where to start. Often bloggers are former or current employees of any of the fashion related entities out there. Their personal Rolodex or site bookmarks may include stores looking to liquidate or emerging designers looking for a steady following.

Sometimes former buyers or merchandisers may share a little insider information about where to find the best clothing bargains outside of what may be advertised. These may include some off price retailers or large independent outlets that take items no longer wanted by the higher end retailers. In these instances, actual damage, if any, is minimal and come things are suitable to be worn year round.

While a lot of people look to save money, the majority are those who are entering the world of work. When making a modest salary, splurging on a high end item is not possible, even when it is part of the culture to look a certain way. In some cases, those who have worked for a while may still seek bargains because they enjoy saving money when possible.

Although simple pieces, like a dark colored skirt or slacks may be dressed up in a number of ways, oftentimes trying something different is worth the risk. In other words, do not just change the top or accessories when budget shopping. Bloggers have all kinds of ideas that can make even a part time salary go far, including the recycling of clothes.

If a person wants to venture out to the thrift shops, there is normally something there that will make a nice accessory or be worn as part of an ensemble. In most major cities, a wide selection of lightly used brand name clothes can be found for little money. Some bloggers even have insider information as to when these stores get in new shipments.

A budget site can also give advice on how to make quick repairs to items already hanging in a closet. Sometimes simple things can be done to preserve appearance so that shoes and clothing will continue to look near new. While it helps to be handy with a needle and thread, some rapid fixes can be done with fabric adhesive.

The great thing about a lot of bargain bloggers is they normally write for a specific demographic. While fashion has few limits for the young at heart, sometimes it helps when resources are available to all. This is especially needed by those who wear special sizes, as there may be limited options when it comes to the live shopping experience.
