I have money I mean I make it and we are not thriving by no means, but I always feel like my clothes are blah. I don't get to dress in the latest fashions. It's mainly because I really don't want to spend alot of mony on clothes I would rather have other things. But do you think you have to have alot of money to have the latest trends? Or do you just have to care about clothes? How do you buy clothes?

Truthfully, I go to the thrift stores, haha. That's where I get the majority of my clothes. I am on a limited budget, but I'll tell you what. I have had many compliments and people wanting to know "Where did you get your sweater from?, it's adorable", or "I love your jeans". You'd be surprised, I've already bought name brand still with the tags on. All I do is go home and wash them really well, and I'm all set. All for a few bucks, and I'm still in style. It's the best I can do right now. I can't afford full price, wish I could but I'd probably still go back, lol!

I buy what I like and I bargain shop to get what I want. There are thrift stores where I live and I can buy really great looking clothes that are in fashion for a fraction of what they would cost in a retail store. You can buy nice clothes and not spend a lot of money. I hate spending a lot of money on clothes.

Some things I like in fashion I buy but at a much cheaper rate, whats the point in buying things at full price and by the time you have saved for it an bought it, the thing is out of date! So I just buy what I like and when I like it, not to keep up with fashion because I just don't have that kind of money to waist. I live in the UK and we have some really cheapy shops, one in particular, and when I go I just pick up what I need and mix and match, bargains are the way to go, you can make anything trendy but just mixing and matching different items.

Clothes has never been my main priority. I guess there was a time that I enjoyed buying clothes but even then I think I was a bit subconscious about what I did buy. I've never had a closet full of clothes all my own, and that's been okay with me. I enjoy just having something that fits me and having sunday best as well.

Hey bailey! You don't have to spend alot of money on clothes. And the trends in clothes change so often it is almost impossible to keep up with them anyway. I don't spend alot of money on clothes. I look around and buy things on sale. I buy things that are in fashion, not the latest trends. There is a difference. I pride myself on looking nice. But, I also like to get things that will be in style more than a minute!

I don't care for the latest trends in fashion. I don't even want to point attention at myself. Clean clothes are all I need to survive. Cheers!!

I buy pretty cheap clothes, like at Ross (but they DO have some cute clothes). I think I dress okay, but I get bored with my clothes and really do need to go shopping for a few more shirts at least...

All you really need to do is buy a few items from time to time. Sometimes just a nice sweater or pair of pants. Some acessories that really are trendy and not awfully expensive can make you feel like you are more into it and yet you have spent alot of money!

What I do is that I observe a lot how other girs dress. Everytime I go to the library I look over fashion magazines and get ideas from it.
