But, as we also know, wearing designer clothing and accessories can cost a lot of money. Since there are more important things to spend money on than clothing, we want to find the balance between being chic and being frugal. There are many ways that you can work out this balance for yourself. I will start with a quick and obvious example. The first step you can take is to start buying replica purses and replica handbags instead of blowing your budget on the designer original.
Yes, knock-offs are a good way to go. This solution means that you must to do some research. You need to know what the designers are bringing out this year. After all, you want to find out what to look for. The easiest way to see what the wealthy women are wearing is to read as many fashion magazines as you can get your hands on. Some of the most read fashion magazines are Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire, InStyle, and Glamour. Remember that the subscription rate for most magazines is lower than the newsstand price if you purchase the magazine every month. Also remember that magazines can be read for free at the library.

A more fun but more time-consuming way to stay up on the latest trends is to shop, shop, and shop some more. Learn the layout of the high-end stores in the elegant part of your town.

Try on whole outfits to see which styles flatter your figure and match your style. But also look the garment over. How is it put together? Does it have generous seams or, even better, French seams? Are the seams flat? Do the stripes or plaid match where they come together? Does the collar lie flat? These are the traits you want to look for in your actual purchases.
From this point of knowledge, you have some options. While learning where to find the high-end stores, also look into the locations of the consignment shops in your town, particularly the ones in the elegant section of town. These shops are very selective about the items that they will accept for resale. You may want to visit these shops with some frequency because the merchandise tends to turn over quickly.
Another option is to make inexpensive substitutes for the expensive designer outfits. With your knowledge of the current styles, you can often find cheaper pieces that will give you the same look as the more pricey ones. But as you buy these clothes, pay attention to the construction of the garments.
