Designer Fashion For the Budget Minded Woman!

Don't have $500 to spend on a fabulous dress but want to look chic? Then welcome to the year of 2009 where currently we are experiencing one of the worst economic crisis in over 50 years! But never fear there are still wonderful ways to look hip and fashionable without breaking the bank.

The trick to looking really fabulous on a low budget is to learn what to buy to create that "fashionista" wardrobe. Once you learn what to look for in clothes you can look like you stepped off the runway for less than $100!

Fit is the first and most important element in dressing well. Correct fit is the key that gives that chic sophistocated look to any wardrobe. ALWAYS try on any garment and if it doesn't fit your body proportions you have two choices: the first is to buy the garment and then have it professionally altered to fit your figure or simply leave it in the store. No matter how wonderful the item is if it doesn't fit it will never look chic and bad fit = "cheap" look and we don't want that!

Color is the next thing to consider for a high fashion look because color if often the difference between "high fashion" and "cheap department" ! You can find the basic colors like black, red, navy and white in both couture and budget price ranges but there are colors that you can only find in the designer lines. You will see Vogue magazine feature dresses in wonderful shades like seafoam greens,periwinkle blues and fushias colors that you simply won't see in a lot of budget clothing lines so the trick is to find those magnificent colors in the stores that fit your price range. When looking for clothing and accessories when you see those perfect shades of pale yellow choose those colors over the traditional whites or creams. Adding these unique color hues to your wardrobe will go a long way in creating your "designer" look.

Patterns are another great way to create that "fashionista" look. Go for patterns that are unique with clean lines and shapes in interesting colors. Choosing the right pattern can mean the difference between looking "low dollar bargain basement" and "oh so boutique"!

Details can not be overlooked when it comes to choosing your wardrobe items. A basic white blouse is just that "basic" but if this basic white blouse has a fine line of beading around the edges of the cuffs or at the neckline this basic piece becomes chic. Choose items with details to spice up your wardrobe. Choosing shoes with little details like rhinestone accents or purses with attractive metal tone trimmings can also add to the overall look as well.

Now ladies go into your closet and take and inventory of your clothing. Decide which items are working for your "high fashion" look and which aren't. Items that don't fit well resolve to have them altered or discard them. Pair up boring colors with items in brilliant colors. Choose accessories to add spice to those basic pieces in your wardrobe that you don't want to discard. Try matching that simple white blouse with a chic patterned skirt or pants to take your look to a new level!
