You probably do not
have enough money or can’t spend thousands of dollars just to look pretty. But
that does not mean you are doomed to look bad forever. You can look fabulous
even on a tight budget. It all boils down to
how you use the money. In this case, you should use it wisely.
Beauty experts say
that the secret to staying beautiful without spending a fortune is to discover
what works best for you and where to buy the things you need. To stand out in
the crowd and look great, here are some things you should keep in mind:
Do not waste money
on branded products. Realize that off-brand products can give you the same
classy look at a lower price. Fashion trends evolve and change constantly so do
not make the mistake of spending big bucks on branded clothes and accessories
that may not be “in” tomorrow. Ignore fashion trends for this can eat up a big
chunk of your budget. Instead go for your own individual style. People will
notice and like you more if you are unique instead of being a boring clone of
every fashion magazine in the newsstands.
Watch out for sales
and sale items. This is a great time to get hold of good clothes for half the
price. Again, do not imitate what you see in others. Select clothes that are
interchangeable and can be worn anytime. The golden rule to follow is to buy
something that you will actually wear. If you buy a ton of sale items and store
them all in the closet, you are wasting your money.
Always pay
attention to your hair. It needs lots of attention to make you look good.
Layered hair is good for many people so see if it suits you as well. To keep
your hair shiny and manageable, wash it with cold or slightly cold water. Get
hold of a good shampoo and conditioner. Daily washing can make your hair dry
but if you feel dirty do not hesitate to take a shower. Buy shoes that look
good with three or five outfits. Don’t buy shoes that you can only use in a
rock concert.
