I wear cute clothes, like stuff from Aeropostale. Typical dressy shirt, miniskirt, jeans, stuff like that. However, I want to find cute clothes that look more sophisticated. I have a tight budget on clothing at the moment, the most I can spend on shirts is about $15, and for pants, the most I would say is $25. I think that a dark blue dress tunic thing with like a belt and leggings with flats would look extremely cute, but the problem is, is that if I went to Macy's and looked, the stuff would be so expensive! I'm a freshman, and I'm tired of looking exactly like the girl sitting next to me. Please give me links to cheap clothing, I really can't spend that much on clothing (as I stated before)..
DearAbby92 answered Saturday October 27 2007, 3:43 pm: You may have to up your limit on bottoms and tops a bit, because 25 for pants is unrealistic. Thats why you need to invest in basics that can be mixed and matched and worn over and over again. You would be suprised how much one piece of clothing can be used. I HIGHLY recommend Forever 21. They have loads of sophiscated and trendy clothes in different styles and are very affordable. I've never seen anything over 40$ there, and just yesterday I saw a sale rack for 3.50$, so I think it's a good choice. The only cons to that is the fabric tends to be on the cheaper side so it might not be of the best quality, and their fit differs per item of clothing.

They might a little farther than where you live but worth it because they have cheaper name-brand clothing - the kind you're looking for, right? Kohl's, Target, TJ Maxx, Ross, and Marshalls all have cute clothing for less, especially TJ Maxx, Ross, and Marshalls which can also sell clothes leftover from name-brand labels. Mall clothes are expensive.. look to stores like that. If you're ordering from online you might have to pay shipping and handling fees and sizes may be hard to gauge and all that so it's better to shop offline so you can try clothes on. If you're willing, garage/yard sales, thrift/secondhand stores, and eBay all have very cheap clothing. No one can tell where your clothes can come from. If you dig out a hot find just say you got it from New York. Shop happily! [ hotpotato's advice column | Ask hotpotato A Question ]
