How to Afford Clothes and Accessories by Top Designers
Finding the latest runway fashions can be easier and cheaper than you think. These days there are lots of top fashion designers producing apparel for the under $100 market.Steps
- Determine which designer brands you want and make those your targets. Go to vintage and thrift store first (if applicable). Many times you can find vintage designer duds, but you must be diligent and frequent in your search (it will pay off).
- Go to Last Chance, Nordstrom's "Off the Rack", Marshall's, etc to search. I've seen Versace jackets at Marshall's for much less than retail.
- Bluefly.com is also a good place to get high fashion for less than you would normally pay, but it can still be expensive.
- Peruse the outlet malls in your area.

Quick Fix - Buttons
If you lose a button while traveling or don't have time to replace one, use a button pin to attach a shank button.
A button pin looks like a curved safety pin with a bump in it where the shank rests-just insert it through the fabric from the back side, through the button shank back through to the fabric wrong side and latch. Keep in mind this shouldn't be a permanent fix, though it does make buttons removable for cleaning and interchangeable if desired- the perfect answer to adding holiday buttons to an everyday garment without stitching.
