WELCOME
I have proudly dubbed myself to be a ‘full fledged fashionista’ I must say I am quite taken by the idea! However, I would like to note that I am a fashionista on a very low budget most times and I have designed my Blog/Vlog to show whoever is interested in knowing how to look great on a very small budget as well as how to feel accomplished in doing so. I feel the benefits of this will lead to building self esteem along with the knowledge of how to pass on to others what you know or have learned in the process.

I can recall countless amount of times here I've heard the comments "your such a ‘fashionista’" or "you always look so well put together" sometimes specifically pointing my accessories or clothing item that they thought was beautiful but, I do think that people have assumed I'm often times in some store shopping and spending a lot of money to acquire such a good look. My goal here is to show people how low often times a budget can truly be from head to toe when it comes to the total cost of an overall wardrobe. If you follow my blog you will be able to see my tips on fashion and great buys. You will be able to view pictures of how I bring clothing items together with accessories and shoes, I’ll show you how, with the perfect items put together you can bring out that extra spark . I will always list the price along side every featured purchase. I will also compare a photo from other sources like magazine, articles, and featured fashion in celebrity photo etc. and I will show you compared prices of the same or similar items to items I purchase.
With that being said, I will admit it, shopping does take up a fair share of ones time. To complete the challenge of achieving your goal to look fabulous on a dime you will need to know the art of thrift store shopping. Thrift store shopping does not have the stigma it had back in the day where the thought that came to most people was that if you were found to be buying clothes from a thrift store you were thought to be about dirt poor. Now-a-days thri ft stores have brand new brand name clothing that have been acquired from name brand stores who hae donate liquidated goods, older fashion or clothing from charity benefits. Consignment stores are another form of thrift shopping, there are clothing exchange sources and plain old popular second hand stores, Do you know that all major designer stores have clearance sales where if you know just when to hit these stores you can get over 75% or more off regular priced items. There are more than enough pros than cons for shopping thrift that one should at least try it before knocking it. I will show you how to shop in thrift stores as well as which thrift store have the best clothing, accessory, shoes and even home goods.
I will feature articles regarding fashion from other websites and you will learn about budgeting, accessorizing, brands that liquidate the most, the ability to identified quality clothes, finding low prices for current trending clothes and jewelry, and much more. I will link my Youtube channel which will feature actual shopping experiences, so please join me on this journey and post your comments, questions or suggestions.
