Who’s your fashion icon? The kooky Helena Bonham-Carter, or Sienna Miller, the boho princess?
Both of these celebrities certainly have their own signature style, but you too can develop your
own celebrity-look. Most importantly, you can do so without spending a super-star fortune.
So what’s so special about these two celebrities? The answer is that they stand out from the
crowd, and with some creativity you can do the same.
To start with – take a look at yourself in a full length mirror. What do you see? If you think you
look rather cute, but akin to something straight out of a high-street chain shop window, ask
yourself if you think you look just a tad boring. If the answer’s yes, now’s the time to do something
about it... and it won’t cost you a packet with a bit of fashion-savvy knowhow.
Where to begin
Start by hauling everything out of the wardrobe, and submit your clothes to some harsh self-
analysis.
Pick out your key pieces. They will be the ones you wear most often, either because they are
expensive, designer, or you just love them. Put them to one side, and be ruthless with the rest -
sling or store!
Now take a look at those items you’ve saved. If there’s a handbag, a pair of shoes or boots,
jeans or a dress that screams ‘designer’, then you’re already halfway there. Wearing only one
designer piece can fool people into thinking that the rest of your outfit comes from the same
place.
How to Dress Stylish (but in budget!)
Browse the Internet to find a style you really like. There is plenty of information on the web on the
subject of fashion, and some great blogs written by folks who’ve been there, done it and want to
pass fashion advice on to the masses. Fashion magazines have always been the traditional way
to sharpen up a girl’s style. Vogue, the fashion bible for generations, and Glamour (a newer kid
on the block, but great for the latest fashion news) are two of the best.
Having decided what you want, where can you find them at bargain prices?
Look out for high-street sales, or shops that accept money-off vouchers, for example - BooHoo
Discount Vouchers. Type ‘BooHoo Discount Codes’ into your search engine to point you in the
right direction. Whilst on-line, also make a point of checking out Ebay for bargains, especially
their vintage pages.
If it’s a vintage look you’re after, take a stroll through your local flea market. The clothes may
need a wash, and sometimes a bit of TLC but you can end up with something quite unique, and in
most cases at a real bargain.
Do make a point of looking at designer/factory outlets. They can offer some great style bargains,
and you can take your time trying stuff on.
And last but not least, don’t forget the charity shops. They’re not as cheap as they used to be, but
rest assured - you’ll definitely unearth some hidden treasures and bargains in their murky depths.
As with the market stalls, clothes from a charity shop may need a bit of attention, but it can be fun
mixing and matching, and you’ll soon feel pretty smug when you start collecting compliments on
your newfound cool fashion style.
