๐ค 1. I shamelessly shop at Walmart, Target, & Amazon.๐๏ธThese retailers are constantly gaining inspo from top designers. So I get the nearly identical look, but for a fraction of the price. 2. Do the dang returns. If I donโt like something- itโs going back & Iโm getting my money back. ๐ฆ 3. Renting one-time wear, special occasion looks. If Iโm going to wear something once- I try and rent it. Some of my favorites are Nuuly (lots of Anthro, free people, love shack fancy), Vivrelle, rent the runway. ๐ 4. Preloved designer bags.๐ I have been shocked at the quality bags Iโve gotten for half the price. 5. Hair. I get my hair done twice a year. I picked a low maintenance hair style and only need to get it balayaged twice a year. ๐ 6. Stick with my tried and true makeup. Iโm not constantly switching it up. I found I would try things, just to go back to my favorites. ๐ 7. Mix in higher end brands, but do it right. You can get the cutest Free People accessories and tees for around $30-$50. Having a couple of nicer pieces mixed in, can make all the difference (and still not cost a fortune). https://liketk.it/68Hry
