Choosing price over quality

Fast fashion store

There is certainly room in your closet for some trendy pieces from affordable fashion forward stores, but they shouldn’t comprise the majority of your wardrobe. Having several $20 to $30 items instead of one $100 plus items might seem like a bargain, but the $100 plus one won’t loose it’s shape or fall apart after several wearing’s. Great value for a season or two.

I have shopped at Bardot, Sportsgirl, Portmans and Kmart to name a few of the lower end budget fashion stores. Even better around SALE time.

Ok, you do need a keen eye to buy that one piece you can mix and match with some of the other more expensive items in your closet. The trick is to co-ordinate and harmonise to achieve that great looking ensemble.
