Ballerific Fashion Guide: Top 8 Places To Shop On A Budget

In today’s world of fashion, many think that you have to wear expensive brands in order to be fashionable. But, many of us know that is far from the truth. There are many places to shop that still stay within your monthly budget.

The key to shopping on a budget is SALES. Personally, I create an account with my favorite sites and save them on my wishlist. I keep an eye on the items for when they finally go on sale or a coupon has been released. Which then allows me to buy more for less. Also, some of the sites have student discounts, so if you have a school email address, pop that in and save!

Some many sites or stores sell designer inspired items with great quality for an affordable price. Check out some of our favorite places to shop while on a budget in no particular order.

Fashion Nova has definitely taken over social media with their fashionable pieces for every occasion. No matter what you are looking for, you will definitely find it at Fashion Nova. From lingerie, athletic wear, date night looks, swimwear, and more.

ASOS is a great a go-to site for some of your fashionable pieces for all occasions. While most ASOS pieces are on the trendy and sometimes edgy side, they also carry classic options for the mature-looking fashion lovers. The site provides petite, plus-sized, and tall lines, so you’re sure to find something that you like, no matter your body type!

Pretty Little Thing should also be on your list of affordable places to shop. With cold weather approaching us, it’s time to take advantage of their sales to rack up on sweaters, dresses, and maybe even get an early start on your New Year’s look.

Zara is truly a fashion lover’s weakness. The store has amazing designer-inspired pieces for an affordable price. The best time to shop is during the season switchover. All of your favorite pieces that you didn’t purchase when they were first released are now marked down. Also, if you are a lover of prints, you will definitely love Zara.

Shein has a variety of items to pick from for every occasion and on everyday working woman’s budget. Make sure to check out the reviews and the sizing to make sure you are getting your correct size. Some of the items run small, so make sure you go up a size.

Thrifting has it perks when it comes to shopping on a budget. Honestly, you have to have patience to shop at your local thrift stores. You can find a lot of vintage pieces that some people do not like anymore and decided to throw out. Another person’s trash can turn into the next person’s trendy wardrobe. People throw-away items daily, so you never know what you may snatch up.

Miss Guided has great pieces for every occasion, and if you are a student, then you will really love the site. The site has student discounts that range from 40%-50% weekly. They have collaborated with some of your faves like Jourdan Dunn for a great collection. If you are faux fur lover, they have a great collection that you don’t want to miss.

 Boohoo is one of my all-time faves. Talk about sale after sale with great quality pieces. You can find your casual, formal, and beach wear for an affordable price. The online site also has great accessories to match your ensembles.
