The Budget Fashionista

Hello!  Thrift stores, discount racks, overstock retailers and a whole lot of at home mending and sewing have made up the bulk of my wardrobe.  Does anyone else stock pile their old Vogue and W fall/spring editions?  I’d like to think that most gals(and maybe guys) here are of the fashion-savvy, style-quirky and budget-smart type.  It’‘s great!  Thanks.

Hello Pasha and welcome to the TBF forum!

Hello, everyone.  I am so excited to have found this site!  I love the thrill of bargain-shopping and finding the look for less.  In my field of work (TV), I have to look stylish everyday, but don’t have quite the funds right now for the latest and greatest designers.

Hi Jen313 and welcome to the forum! Glad you found us!

Good morning all….please allow me to introduce myself, I am PassionForPretty aka the self-proclaimed Shallow Shoe Whore! (gotta love it) I am looking forward to manifesting my shallow shopping obsession here with you like-minded fashionistas and shopaholics!

Hi everyone! I found out about The Budget Fashionista a few years ago and have been a fan ever since.  I keep the book close by and full of dog ears to help me on my fashion journey.  I can’t wait to chat with everyone and get more insight into the varied world of fashion.

Hi Clueless Fashionista—glad you’re here and that you’ve made good use of Kathryn’s book! :) We look forward to hearing more from you . . .

Hey Christinat! Glad to have you here—hope you find some good tips, and feel free to add a few of your own!

HI! I’m new here. I’ve become more interested in fashion over the past few years (especially after losing 30 lbs!) and while I’m willing to splurge on some things, I like to be thrifty for most of my clothes. I like name brands, so I tend to try to find really good sales. I just stumbled onto this site, and it’s really great!
