I'm a student myself so without having a steady income it's hard to go out and purchase everything you want, or everything you tell yourself you 'need'. I'm going to share with you a few tips on how to save your money, but still look good. These following tips are suitable for everyone (even for boys), money wise tactics that I have learnt because I myself went through a crazy shopping phase and it does get pretty addictive. 

 ○ Quality 

This is something that I had to learn by myself, mostly because I never would have listened to my parents when it came to fashion. The sooner you realise it's not the amount of stuff you have, but what matters is how good the quality of what you do have is. When you buy cheap items of clothing you get sucked into thinking you're not spending a lot but in reality you'll spend more money buying more cheap things than if you were to invest in something pricey. 

 ○ Sale 

Never just purchase something because it is on sale; the fact the price is significantly lower can cloud your judgement on whether you like something or not. Although you'd think always shopping on the sale rack would be good on your bank account it can have the opposite effect. It's pointless spending money on an item if you're hardly going to use it. You should only ever purchase something if you're 100% sure that you love it and will wear it. 

 ○ Investment 

It's always going to work out better if you invest in basics; this ensures that they will (hopefully) last for a long time. so don't go splashing out on staple items which will go out of fashion in a few months. Especially when you're on a budget, you need to prioritise what is a necessity and what isn't.

 ○ Splurge

If your account can take it then definitely splurge on an item; prior to this I recommend you plan wisely what it is that you want. You should research into it; read reviews, watch youtube videos on this item you want to purchase. When spending a lot of money on something whether it's a bag or shoes whatever it may be you want to know you're getting your money's worth. 

 ○ Sell

There are so many different ways that you can make money online now (to fund your future shopping). With choices from Depop to eBay you have different ways to advertise items you no longer want and can make money from it. After all the quote does say another man's trash is another man's treasure.
