Over fall break, I took a trip to my local mall. I was looking forward to seeing all the new fall and winter styles and hoping to buy a few things to add to my wardrobe. But, every time I found something that I liked it was way too expensive. This got me thinking… Most girls in college are on some sort of budget where they do not have the option of buying the newest, most expensive clothes out there. Well, I am here to tell you how you can still be stylish without spending too much money.
Perhaps the best example of a bargain buyer is my mom. She always finds the best deals on the cutest clothes and accessories. Following in her footsteps, I have found some great ways to do the same thing.
Many retail stores have annual or semi annual sales. Usually, these only last for a couple days but the discounts are incredible. Some stores will discount items up to eighty percent off! The best way to keep up with information about
when these sales will occur is to sign up for the stores mailing list. This allows you to get emails to keep you up to date about company specials. My top mailing list suggestions are American Eagle, Victoria Secret and Delia’s.
Another great thing about being on a mailing list is the special discounts you receive just for being on the mailing list. Because this is not something that is known to the public, you have a better chance of getting what you want without the hustle and bustle of a regular sale. Additionally, many mailing lists will send you a gift card or special discount on your birthday!
But, if retail stores are still too pricey for your budget, check out stores like TJ MAXX, Marshalls and Ross. These stores ba
rgain with designers to get the best deals on designer wear at a discounted price. Luckily, we have all of these stores right here in Knoxville!
