People usually think that having a good sense of style comes with a price. There is this notion that if you want to look good, you have to dig deep in your wallet. What these people donโt understand is that fashion has never been about the tags on your clothes or the price of your shirt.
Cris Rodriguez proved this notion wrong byย slaying with her outfits which she scored fromย thrift shops. She believes that, in times like this, it is simply illogical and impractical to buy branded clothing when you can get the exact same thing for a hundred times less at a thrift shop. Theย price of one branded clothing is equal to an entire weekโs worth of outfit. Read her full post below:
This doesnโt mean that she does not enjoy the occasional visits to branded stores. Her point is, when we talk about fashion, being comfortable and feeling good about how you look trumps where your clothes come from or how much they cost.
So the next time you go out shopping, make sure that you are the one whoโs winning. Remember, as Cris has put together so eloquently, โIt’s not about going broke toโ look richโ, itโs about โlooking richโ without going broke.โ
