10 ways to be fashionable on a Budget

I am a cheapskate to say the least, I hate spending money on things that I can do myself, or for less. So here are some tips that I use.

1. Frizzy Hair out of control? Use some lotion, just a bit, rub it into your hands so its liquidy then rub in your hair to turn your mess into the best!
2. Clothing Swap: Sick of your wardrobe? Chances are you aren't the only one, organize a clothing swap with some mamas in your area
3. Goodwill: You'd be surprised what great finds you can get at thrift shops!
4. Leggings: you can dress them up, dress them down, or use them to workout, perfect for days when you are in a hurry, ultra slimming.
5. reuse. shirt too short? Add more fabric on the bottom!
6. Lookville: This site is great! Post a picture of your outfit online and get advice from the masses for free! Never worry whether an outfit is too much!
7. Say goodbye to expensive "quick dry top-coat" run your nails under icy cold water and it will help to set your color!
8. Aprons!: Make some out of scrap fabric they always look nice over jeans, and they will save your clothes from getting stained!
9. Craigslist I have found some amazing deals in the clothing sections! People who wear expensive clothes, buy lots of clothes
10. COUPONS!: My Nana always had coupons for department stores, look in the newspaper for great deals.
