Diva On A Dime - Can You Do It?

We've all seen the show Diva on a Dime but can you do it? Can you be like they are on television and create your wardrobe on a shoe string budget?

It's really not that difficult. A little practice and you'll be a pro at it. The best part is no one will ever guess who you've been saving on your wardrobe. In fact friends and family alike will think you've gone crazy spending to look so darn good!

There are plenty of basics you can pick up that there’s no need to pay the extra to obtain a “design name.” From the outside no ones going to know they aren’t designer and no ones going to see the label so their a safe bet!

Items such as jeans, flirty skirts, cotton T’s, crocheted shrugs, or pants can be purchased without the designer name. Also watch for great sales that often show up at season changes. Many of these items are versatile enough to wear through various seasons but by buying off season you can save alot.

Looking fresh like they just came off the rack is important. If you purchased budget items then you’ve save quite a few dollars so once they start looking not so fresh get rid of them.

Shoes are another arena where you can save some money. No need to buy designer. Most important is fit and comfort, and of course you need to be certain they’ll work with your wardrobe. This season the wedge, as well as flats are very popular and you should check out the fun boots that are arriving on the shelves daily. If you shop carefully you can add several pair for the price of one pair of designer shoes.

You should also remember to check out local thrift stores. Pick a day when you aren't rushed and have plenty of time to snoop through all the racks. This is a great place to buy designer clothes for pennies. Many times you can find items that have never been worn for under $10. What a deal!

Lastly you can save a whole lot of money on your jewelry. Estate costume jewelry is affordable and the selection is great. If you stick to costume jewelry you can buy pieces for this seasons fashion and not feel bad because you spent too much and they are out of style next year. There are many good online store with very reasonable prices. Don’t forget to have a hunt through your old jewelry as well – you might be surprised at what you find that has made it back into style. Large clunky jewelry is certainly in. As is wood and bone jewelry. Color is making a big statement this year. This is a very fun season because just about anything goes provided you complete your look.

If you need to get some ideas of what this season has to offer check out this months Vogue, Elle, and In Style which are all full of excellent fashion pages.

So don’t fret, you can be a diva on a dime and look like a million dollars on a shoe string budget with a little creativity and hunting! Always be sure to make your fashion statement!
