This site can be dangerous. When I get dressed now, I see all the mistakes I made when purchasing them. I've got 2 pair of capris that I now realize are the wrong length! There is one pair that I think can be shortened. The other might just need to be tossed. But, I've also learned a few things and I think I'm getting better looks. </p> <p>I did take a picture this morning, but when I went to upload it, it's not on the card. Very odd, so I'll try again hopefully tonight or tomorrow. </p> <p>What a fun site! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction#post-153644 Sat, 08 May 2010 13:13:37 +0000 Queen Mum 153644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Stacey and welcome!

Speak soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction#post-153592 Sat, 08 May 2010 07:02:32 +0000 AnneL 153592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Stacey!</p> <p>I don't know what the thrift/charity shops are like where you live, but when I was young and skint, I used to buy most of my clothes from them. My best ever buy was a men's black leather trenchcoat for twelve pounds (about $18) - it was such a small size, I doubt many men would have fitted into it! I also found that the charity shops in smarter neighbourhoods were the best place to bargain-hunt, as they often had nearly-new clothes from quality brands like Marks &amp; Spencer, worn a couple of times and discarded because they were last season's colour or whatever! </p> <p>This time of year, lots of women are spring-cleaning their wardrobes (I've filled four bin bags already!), so you are likely to get plenty of choice. Of course it can take a bit more time to find what you want in the right size and colour, but you end up with a more eclectic and funky wardrobe than if you just bought everything new.</p> <p>I still pop into my local charity shops when I'm restocking my wardrobe - I picked up a lovely embroidered shirt in very fine off-white cotton from Per Una (one of M&amp;S's own brands) the other day for less than a fiver </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction#post-153262 Fri, 07 May 2010 16:48:11 +0000 chewyspaghetti 153262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the board Stacey!<br /> You are selling yourself short on accessories- you get so much cost per wear out of them. Check the clearance racks at places like Kohl's and Target, second hand shops, etsy and ebay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction#post-153259 Fri, 07 May 2010 16:39:10 +0000 Louise 153259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Stacey- accessories are great they can make the same outfit look totally different, try sales, thrift shops and ebay for some bargains x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction#post-153057 Fri, 07 May 2010 05:26:59 +0000 Kristine 153057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Stacey! I always check out thrift stores for accessories. Scarves are usually a dollar or two and you can sometimes find decent jewelry too.

I found this site on another board and I've become hooked! I see I have lots to learn about style. I'll try to post a picture later to help me find out my body type. I'm thinking pear, but maybe a little hourglass? </p> <p>I know I'm going to need help on being stylish on a tight budget. I usually have enough for the basic tops/bottoms, but skip the accessories because they can cost almost as much another piece of clothing. </p> <p>Looking forward to getting to know you all! </p>
