Recessionista...Fashion on a Budget

Economy woes should not mean your style should suffer as well. If your budget is tight the best place to go for new looks is your own closet.



One of my favorite recommendations: Shop Your Closet



Here are a few tips to revive your existing wardrobe with pieces you already own.

• LBD (little Black dress): pair with black tights, a belted cardigan & red platform stilettos.

• LBD2: pair with a faux fur shawl, wrap or bolero & metallic strappy pumps & a jewel tone clutch.

• Skinny Jeans: pair with a white button down shirt, your suit blazer, funky silver chains & silver flats.

• Black suit pants: pair with that jewel tone top you've been saving, gold bangles, a cocktail ring and strappy stilettos.

• Pencil Skirt: pair with a tucked in white blouse, your favorite statement coat (buttoned & belted if the style lends itself) & a pair of navy or red slide stilettos.

Accessories are your friend. Don't be afraid to mix bold pieces (jewelry, tights, platforms, statement coats) in with your basic suit pieces...because seriously when was the last time you actually wore all of your suit pieces together!



The hottest looks right now are menswear inspired...keep in mind pair sexy with classic or else it just goes wrong...sometimes too much is well just TOO much!





Mix & Mix: textures, metallics, tights, unexpected jackets with sexy dresses, menswear inspired pieces with skinny jeans.

Stay fabulous!
