First off, thankfully for those of us on a budget, this year one of the greatest fashion trends came about- thrift shops! Thanks to celebrities making it cooler than ever to save a few bucks, thrift shops have never been more in.

Selling your old clothes is a great way to get some extra cash in order to turn around to buy some more clothes. This way, you’re making the money you’re spending. Another tip to doing this is checking your closet for what you have. Do you really need another pair of black skinny jeans, black pumps, or even a little black dress? Isn’t your collection of New Year’s Eve ready sequin tops already taking over your closet a little bit? Since when did you get so many shoes? Taking into account what you have and not buying excess of items that you clearly don’t need will allow you to spend money on the adorable things that will help you out in the long run- like that nice, expensive leather jacket to keep you warm in the colder months that you can now afford without the cheaper impulse buys!

Almost every website has the ability to get free shipping once you purchase a certain amount of products, so be prepared to buy in bulk in order to save more money. Instead of buying a shirt here or a pair of jeans there, get all your shopping wants in one haul at the beginning or end of the month in order to work everything into your closet and see what you’ll need the following shopping trip.

Whether you’re saving up for a leather jacket or a sequin top, taking these fashion on a budget tips with you into 2016 will result in plumper wallet and a better looking you!
