STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Thrifty Threads

Transitioning your wardrobe from winter to spring can definitely burn a hole in your money pocket. But switching from chunky sweaters and jeans to crop tops and shorts doesn’t have to cost a fortune. There is no reason being a broke college student should hinder you from rocking your personal style all 365 days of the year. Finding trendy pieces on a college student budget has become easier than ever. From the endless low-budget chain stores to your local thrift shops to the large amount of resale apps hitting the market, keeping your personal style on budget has become easier than ever. This Fashionista shows us that it is possible to stay on-trend while on a small budget!

This Fashionista is rocking her low cost look with ease. She has on an amazing pair of patterned trousers from Love Culture that definitely set the vibe for her entire outfit. A busy black and white pattern like this one is the perfect way to add a bit of personality to your look without overpowering it. On top, she has on a simple black V-neck tank top; this cut is a must as we transition into the spring. To cover her shoulders, she has on a loose fitting knit cardigan, perfect for a hot spring day.

In this look, her accessories add a bit of character. She has on a super trendy wide-brimmed hat, perfect for keeping the sun out of your eyes on a hot day. I loved her look so much that I went out and bought my own wide-brimmed hat! For jewelry, this Fashionista has on a slew silver rings that showcase a bit of her personality. Her super rad combat boots add just the perfect amount of toughness to her look. She couldn’t help but tell me she found them at the local thrift store! What a perfect low-budget find, a pair of boots with character already built in.
