<p><strong>Budget </strong></p>
<p>The key to shopping without overspending is to budget. You don’t have to amass high <a href="http://www.nerdwallet.com/low-apr-credit-cards" rel="dofollow" target="_blank" class="liexternal" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.nerdwallet.com/low-apr-credit-cards?referer=');">interest credit</a> cards or go into debt to stay fashionable. Simply, examine your monthly income as well as your expenses. Determine how much money you have left over each month and allot yourself a certain amount that you are allowed to spend each month, or even each week, on shopping. In order for budgeting to work, though, you must be strict with yourself. Do not allow yourself to go over your monthly shopping allotment. Do not make yourself promises such as “I’ll just use next month’s allotment this month, and then not go shopping at all next month.” Those tactics won’t work.</p>
<p><strong>Accessorize </strong></p>
<p>Accessorizing is a powerful fashion tool for both your style as well as your budget. You can transform an old outfit into a completely new one with the right accessories. A new pair of shoes, a new scarf, a new belt, or a new purse can make an old blouse look completely different. A secret to staying fashionable on a budget is to mix some old in with the new.</p>
<p><strong>Mix and Match </strong></p>
<p>Another secret to staying fashionable while on a budget is to mix and match your clothing. For example, tank tops can be worn alone in the summertime, but you can pair them with button up blouses and jackets in the autumn and winter months to make completely new outfits. The same concept can be applied to skirts as well. A jean skirt, for example, can be worn alone in the summertime and paired with leggings in the autumn months. Mixing and matching items is an innovative way to make your wardrobe versatile all year long.</p>

<p><strong>Budget </strong></p>
<p>The key to shopping without overspending is to budget. You don’t have to amass high <a href="http://www.nerdwallet.com/low-apr-credit-cards" rel="dofollow" target="_blank" class="liexternal" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.nerdwallet.com/low-apr-credit-cards?referer=');">interest credit</a> cards or go into debt to stay fashionable. Simply, examine your monthly income as well as your expenses. Determine how much money you have left over each month and allot yourself a certain amount that you are allowed to spend each month, or even each week, on shopping. In order for budgeting to work, though, you must be strict with yourself. Do not allow yourself to go over your monthly shopping allotment. Do not make yourself promises such as “I’ll just use next month’s allotment this month, and then not go shopping at all next month.” Those tactics won’t work.</p>
<p><strong>Accessorize </strong></p>
<p>Accessorizing is a powerful fashion tool for both your style as well as your budget. You can transform an old outfit into a completely new one with the right accessories. A new pair of shoes, a new scarf, a new belt, or a new purse can make an old blouse look completely different. A secret to staying fashionable on a budget is to mix some old in with the new.</p>
<p><strong>Mix and Match </strong></p>
<p>Another secret to staying fashionable while on a budget is to mix and match your clothing. For example, tank tops can be worn alone in the summertime, but you can pair them with button up blouses and jackets in the autumn and winter months to make completely new outfits. The same concept can be applied to skirts as well. A jean skirt, for example, can be worn alone in the summertime and paired with leggings in the autumn months. Mixing and matching items is an innovative way to make your wardrobe versatile all year long.</p>
