We all want to look like a million bucks. I know I do. There’s a few ways to have that look on a smaller budget. While we are shopping for a good deal, it is very important to look at the quality of what it is you’re purchasing. Just because something is on sale, doesn't mean you should buy it. Search for pieces that are tailored and have some sort of structure. Too many baggy pieces can make you look sloppy.
Sometimes we find a great buy, but is doesn't quite fit right. If you find a piece that you love but doesn't fit properly, it should be tailored. I bought a beautiful summer blouse from Macy's originally $50 but on sale for $15. It's was a bit too big, but having it taken costs about $15 giving the blouse an overall cost of $30.00. By going this route, not only did I save money, but my blouse is now fit to my body shape; not the cookie cutter shapes at the stores.
When shopping, always fit the widest part of your body. I have been blessed up top but unfortunately that made me shy away from button up shirts since they all tend to bunch up or pop open...yikes! Then I learned that I can go one size up to fit my chest, and then take in the waist. This tailored look is not only flattering but can make your clothing appear more luxurious. The same can be done to jeans and any other piece of clothing. Finding a tailor you love may take some time and effort, but once you find them, it's worth it!
A great structured short sleeved jacket is the way to go this summer. Try pairing a jacket with a loose or printed blouse. Add light colored capris and some cute sandals and you are ready to go anywhere.
