One great idea is to visit some fashion related chat rooms and try to find people that have the same interests in fashion that you do. This way you all can share info on great finds when they pop up. Another idea is to switch to broadband cable if you are currently using standard dial up service, because broadband cable is one hundred times faster than standard dial up service.

This means that you can wizz from one website to the next instantly with the simple click of your mouse, for super high speed comparison shopping. Also, some designers such as Liz Claiborne are now coming out with great looking clothing , purses, shoes and other fashion accessories and her prices are still lower than everyone else’s.

It seems that as soon as a designer has any measure of success they jack their prices up through the roof and this is one trend that Liz Claiborne has avoided. Then you always have the option of checking out the sites that deal in replica or knock-off fashion accessories but with them its always buyer beware and there are no refunds. Make sure that there is a nice clear picture of anything that you are thinking of buying and read the feedback on the site if there is any. If there isn’t any feedback then go to another site.

Keep It Simple
The first trick to fool people into thinking you have money to burn is to keep your wardrobe simple. Garments that are of one, solid color (or two shades of the same color) automatically look richer than clothing with stripes or patterns. Patterns can make fabric look cheap, especially if it doesn”t match up at the seams. Also, stay away from garish colors (bright yellows, greens, and turquoises come to mind), which can look wonderful when new but that will quickly turn drab after one or two washings.

Neutral colors are a good way to go when building a sleek, stylish, fashionable-yet-inexpensive wardrobe. All purpose black, when kept free of lint, looks great paired with like blacks. Rich browns, warm creams, suave greys, fantastic blues, and most shades of pinks are unlikely to lose their power to impress.

Garment Versatility
When shopping for clothing, look for garments in the above colors that will correspond with other pieces already in your wardrobe. Build a supply of shirts, skirts, and slacks that can mix-and-match—then look for a cardigan that can complete the outfit. Having a black sweater, a white sweater, and a grey sweater will give you so many more outfits than wearing a top and skirt alone. Not only that, but layers will always give you a more sophisticated look—they demonstrate your ability to construct more complex outfits (and show off that you can afford to do so!).

Classic garments are the key to building a wardrobe that won’t be full of fading fashions. Flat front slacks with straight legs, skirts in simple cuts and basic colors, crew-neck sweaters, basic tanks, and sweater jackets or cardigans will never go out of style. They are integral to the next stage, which will take you in-step with the times and make sure that you can later afford to address any season”s fashion must-have.

Accessorize
A simple, well-chosen accessory can make your outfit. Choose a classic, like a little neck scarf (very French), or one that you’ve seen in the latest magazine. Because most boutiques understand that the fashion trends will come and go, they will offer inexpensive baubles, bags, or belts at reasonable prices. And if even those happen to strain your budget, try stores that offer replicas at a lower quality (and lower price). Consider designer replica jewelry from David Yurman or Tiffany, these brands are hot. You won’t have to keep it forever anyway—you’ll only need it long enough to let the world know you understand what’s hot and what’s not.
