Some people make the mistake of assuming that you can only be fabulous if you buy top label clothing and spend hundreds of dollars on getting your hair done each month and having all the best products.  However, looking great on a budget is totally possible when you know how to do it right.  Sometimes sporting a look that looks like it costs hundreds to thousands in fact only costs under 20 bucks.  

Think it sounds impossible?  Guess again.  Here are some of the best tips for looking good on a tight budget.

Accessorize

One of the oldest tricks in the book is accessorizing with your outfits.  A simple pair of jeans and relaxed plain t-shirt can suddenly be turned into a fabulous magazine worthy look with the right accessories.

Try wearing a ring or necklace as a statement piece.  Or perhaps a hat which has attitude and a bold color. This will stand out and give your outfit a certain punch that it didn’t have before.  Accessorizing makes it so that you look put together and ornamented, distracting the eye from the fact that you might not have on the fanciest or most detailed clothes.

Take Advantage Of Sales

One of the best things that you can do for yourself is to go shopping at strategic moments.  That means hit the shops when you know there is a big sale going on.  This way you can enjoy all of the same brands that are usually priced quite high at a low and affordable price which fits into your budget.

Try to make sure that you stay organized and on top of when the next sales are going to be.  If you manage to arrive before the crowds you will have better chances of having the first pick of all of the products which are high in demand.

Go To Beauty Institutes

When it comes to getting beauty treatments done it isn’t anything cheap.  With certain treatments costing hundreds per session, it can start to add up quickly to a small fortune.

Try to cut your costs by going to beauty schools.  You can have all of the same talents for a fraction of the price.  Usually, the students are so under the watchful eye of their teachers that it is less likely for them to cause any sorts of disasters on you.

If you don’t like your service at the end of your appointment the instructor will usually fix it for free and you still walk away looking fabulous and having spent over half of what you would have spent in a normal salon.

Try calling around with different schools in your area and see what places have the best reputations.
