Dress for Less

Lately money has been tight which was making it hard for me to be fashion forward in my Fashion Industry. As a hairstylist in Philadelphia, I enjoy looking my best everyday for myself and my clients. 'Look good feel good' is my motto. I always want people to look their best and feel even better. Clients look to us for fashion and beauty inspiration thus keeping us on our toes with our appearance. Luckily for me I love to get dressed up and do my hair and makeup, so it's never an issue for me to do it everyday! I don't even go get my mail without some mascara and a decent pair of pants and shoes!
I became very bored with my wardrobe but didn't have money to go splurge on new outfits. So I started to look through different blogs for inspirations. I found so many outfits I loved and realized I had these pieces in my wardrobe but never thought to pair them in such a way. With a few inexpensive pieces bought here and there and a daily challenge of pairing different items I had a new style and money to pay rent! My coworker and fabulous friend Francesca also shares my love for fashion and has been inspiring me and joining me on this low budget style change. Ever changing and growing!!!
