Accessorizing on a budget, but how?
“The best things in life are free. The second best are very expensive.” – Coco Chanel
Well, it seems like we can’t do anything about the latter. If you’re looking to accessorize inexpensively yet, you just don’t have the funds to walk down Fifth Avenue in NYC and go on a shopping spree…
3 Tips – Accessorizing On A Budget:
1. Try thrift stores and garage sales and consignment shops
There is a whole untapped world out there of second-hand merchandise looking for a loving home in your home. Rather than buying new, even when it’s on so-called sale, sometimes used goods are seasoned just perfectly by previous owners who took extra special care of their pieces. So keep your eyes peeled and your fashion radar set to high, and you’re bound to find treasures galore if you give it time.
Remember, it’s not about have a lot to choose from. Quality over quantity matters. So just pace yourself, and buy one piece at a time that will last you a lifetime.
2. Call on friends and family and work your network
Get those closest to you to get together and pool your resources together! If you can get five loved ones or colleagues together, and everyone brings five of their most cherished and quality accessories, then you do the math! That’s 25 pieces you all can work with already. Think of it as a library but instead of books you’re borrowing and lending out fashionable accessories! It’s budget-friendly and creative, but most of all fun!
3. Rely on proper grooming
Don’t underestimate the value of proper hygiene and impeccable grooming. This can actually be priceless accessories unto themselves. Who needs fancy trinkets and scarves when you can present yourself to the world and shine like a star!
