Looking good and feeling great takes a little time and attention. The good news is that fashionable living doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. Check out these money-saving tips:
Affordable Fashion
Some of the most expensive components of fashion are accessories. If you know where to look, however, you can always have the trendiest looks at rock-bottom prices. Need a fresh look? Try starting with a trendy new pair of eyeglasses. At Warby Parker, you can get the hottest new looks at affordable prices. Additionally, every time they sell a pair of frames, they donate eyeglasses to someone in need. What could be better than giving back while saving money on top fashions? And we all know it’s easy to drop some serious cash on jewelry. If your money is tight, be sure to head on over to Etsy for affordable accessories. The handcrafted pieces available here feature many of this year's top trends at prices that won't break the bank.
Affordable Beauty
Each year, women spend millions of dollars on cosmetics and other beauty products. You can cut down the amount you spend as well as your carbon footprint by following these frugal tips! Many women use cotton balls to apply makeup, astringents and other beauty products. Unfortunately, these absorbent applicators soak up a lot of product, resulting in waste. To avoid this, replace cotton balls with flat cotton pads or product-specific applicators. In addition, to reduce waste and your personal carbon footprint, participate in a corporate recycling plan. MAC Cosmetics will send a free lipstick of choice to anyone who returns used MAC Cosmetic containers to them.
Affordable Lifestyle
While beauty and fashion are important parts of life, they aren’t the only components of an affordable lifestyle. Resources abound for frugal shoppers. You can find coupon codes for almost anything online. Sites such as RetailMeNot provide coupon codes for both online and retail purchases of items you need and want to buy. Gift cards work just as great and just like cash—and sometimes you can purchase a gift card for less than its actual value! Simply make sure that you are able to use the gift card before any applicable expiration date or penalty fees kick in.
Keep on your toes while shopping savvy!
