How Do You Feel When it Comes to Fashion
Hey Guys,
Today I wanted to talk little bit about “fashion”.
Before I started this blog, I was always into fashion, style, beauty and home décor. From the time I was 16 and was able to work and buy my own clothes… I’ve always wanted to look good without having to spend my entire paycheck on a single clothing item. And now that I have been more active on this blog by posting my own styles and outfits, the question of “how much did that outfit cost” has come up a quite a few times.
Let me say this, I AM A BARGAIN SHOPPER and proud of it! Now, I am not saying that I don’t splurge on a certain item…I do, but only if that item will become a staple piece in my closet….meaning I’ll probably keep that item for a good 5 years (yes…5 years!!!).
With all the trends that pops up here and there….if one (not including the top 10%) were to keep up with every single trends you would probably go broke. I feel as a blogger, I should let you guys know that it’s not the name or the cost of an outfit that makes fashion….its one’s own style and confidence that really makes fashion.
I have friends who follow other fashion blogger and they sometimes feel as though it gets s bit costly trying to follow their inspirations. I have to remind them that yeah you can wear the latest item, but if you’re not comfortable with what you’re in…. it will show.
Models do it all the time…pairing a $2 shirt with $20 jeans, $40 shoes and $300 bag and she is chic, hip, cool…FASHIONABLE.
I will forever say this…fashion is all about how you feel in the clothes you're in.
Great post. I enjoyed reading your perspective about how much to spend on fashionable items. I mix high and low cost pieces for sure when I put together an outfit. I try not to spend too much on items that I deem to be a trend that may not stay around beyond a couple of seasons. It is more about investing more money into classic pieces that I can combine with trendy items.

I don't like any compromise for fashion. I spent a lot per week to get trendy outfits and other fashion gears. So, this is what I think about fashion.
