How to buy clothes on a budget.Ok,say your parents give you $150 for your birthday.You decide to buy some new clothes,but you think to yourself "I don't have enough money clothes".Think again,you really don't need to buy the top name brands that are expensive.That's most of girls problems with buying clothes.
NO:
XRipped jeans=$70 at Abercrombie and FitchX
Tip:Buy your jeans under $20 and rip them yourself.It's cheaper.
NO:
XIt's not worth it to buy a shirt over $15 dollarsX
Tip:Try to go to a department store to buy your shirts.I mean wtf you don't need a certain brand to be happy.Lots of shirts at department stores are always on sale.
TIP:STOP the name brands.Seriously bc it's stupid when you can buy cheap clothes and still get the same quality.If brand matters to your so called friends so much than they aren't your real friends.They use people for shit like that anymore.I don't get it.

find something you like. just cause it's on sale doesn't mean it's good.
it's better to buy one nice $150 jacket or pair of jeans, shoes etc. that will last and not go out of style instead of buying 10 poor quality shirts that will be old by next season.
if you want a classic for under $150, i recommend:
-a ben sherman blazer
-a nice leather bag. you can get a bcbg or michael by michael kors bag at the mall for that amount. those are reliable brands that will last and look good
-a pair of good boots. many shoe stores, like aldo, have cute, quality boots for about $100. i love the new tan ankle booties!

I think buying good-quality stuff/designer/more expensive stuff is important for certain clothing items. For example, a bag for everyday is something you'd want to be nice. Good shoes, good bras, and nice coats/jackets are other things.
But for tees, flipflops, and stuff that you're only gonna wear a few times, I think cheaper stuff is fine. For example, those stupid fucking Juicy Couture velour zip up things. I know they're out of style now, but they were so trashy and gross, and way overpriced. Paying a lot of money for shit like that is dumb.

And ripping your jeans is a no-no, now you have to either, A)Buy your jeans ripped or B)Get non-ripped jeans and let them rip themselves.

Ripping jeans yourself looks horrible.

Shirts that cheap arn't good quality, so it is worth buying shirts higher priced.

Wrong. Why are certain clothes 'expensive'? Because they are made better. You buy a higher priced pair of jeans, they will last longer.
I'm not saying that shopping on a budget is wrong or all your tips are wrong, just don't put false things in there.

Yep,That's why I don't buy that shit.Paris Hilton buys $1000 purses, but only is using it one time.Everyday shoes,bras,and coats are something youll need quality for.Believe it or not I bought a bra from Victoria's Secret and the strap broke.It fit,but wtf it still broke.False advertising bitches probably wearing high quality bras while the store it's self that they are advertising for.

THANK YOU!
Everyone on this other message boards was all, Everything is designer if someone designed them!
And I was like, OK, that is not true. Designer clothing is made out of more expensive material, it's not mass-produced, and it'll last much longer.

LOL, luckily I don't have a budget so I don't have to worry about ripping my own jeans and shopping at department stores. Oh and btw, I'm not saying that ripping your own jeans and shopping at department stores is bad, I'm just saying that I'm glad I don't have to do it.
