Keep your Charm with Limited budget under the Financial Tsunami

Budget becomes a much crucial constraint for new season shopping under the recent Financial Crisis. To maintain a confident look at work or seeking for job is the key successful factor especially under economic down-turn. How to look charming & trendy with much smaller budget? Spend money wisely, here are some tips.


Signature Item

Invest your money on 1 hot item of the season, a jacket, a handbag, a pair of boots that can be easily recognized. Better choose items that can easily go with your other clothing. That show your fashion sense and you can wear it frequently matching with different wardrobes.

Vintage Stores

You will be surprise by what you can find in a Vintage store. Don’t be scare away by the term “second hand”; most of the items are in good conditions, other wise the store won’t take it. Some of the items are even barely used. And if you are lucky enough, you can find some even famous brands at only 10% of the original price. You may have to spend a little more time to go through all the pieces. Some stores manage the clothing very systemically and you can find clothing by brands and by size.


High end design at low end price

Fashion trend is no secret, hot colors, cutting of jacket, length of skirt… is commonly known and mass brands also produce clothing in similar design. Avoid complicated designs; low end brands usually don’t have the skill for detail cutting or special fabric. Stick to basic principles like colors, length of skirt & trousers. Focus on the style such as layers, boyish … etc. You will be able to keep up to the fashion trend without bankrupting yourself.


Look for deals

Under economic recession, retail shops are going to have their seasonal sales much earlier this year. So, don’t rush to buy your favorite items when the season just open. And there may be more shops closing down or relocate under a new rental contract. Look for clearance sales. So, take your time, check out more and wait for your best deal.

Special Design Jewelry

Jewelry always has the magic power to uplift the overall outlook. Don’t give it up because your budget is tight. All you have to do is to forget about diamonds & designer brands. You don’t have to wear intimate stones or plastic accessories. Natural gemstones could be affordable and classy. Handmade gemstone jewelry can give elegant look same as expensive diamonds, even more unique and stylish in design. Jewelries made of natural gemstones are usually bigger in size and stronger in color, give a cheerful and warm feeling, which is most desire under the depression time.

Keep your spirit in such a hard time, spend your money wisely to cheer up yourself and the people around you.
