I wanted to do a second round of Penny-Pinching Prep because I'm constantly getting questions on my Tumblr on how I afford my clothing as a college student. The answer is actually so quite simple I think everyone thinks I'm lying: I shop around. When it comes down to it, I'm actually quite frugal. Even buying from J.Crew factory instead of regular J.Crew can save you bundles (plus using your student I.D!). Or, Ebay, Amazon and T.J. Maxx always manage to produce hidden gems. It's all about just learning to work with what you have.
T-Shirst: Calypso St. Barth vs. J.Crew
Flats: Dolce & Gabbana vs. Steve Madden
Bags: Marc Jacobs vs. Zara
I created an Ebay site to sell some of my clothes
(everything except jeans under $20!!)

T.J. Maxx is my secret weapon. I've gotten some really amazing pieces from there, and no one believes me when I tell them where I shop.
ReplyDeleteI get asked the same thing! A lot of people think I'm lying most of the time and that my parents buy everything...not true at all. I really do believe in investing in a few key pieces and working with what you have.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love J.Crew Factory Outlet! I don't know why I would ever shop J.Crew regular priced when things are just as cute at the factory and wayyyyyyy cheaper!
