Shopping for Clothes on a Budget - as part of the Women's Style series by GeoBeats.

Hi, I am Erica Lurie, designer at Garnish in Portland Oregon. We are going to talk about shopping on a budget. So there are few different things you can do to shop on a budget. One, you can really look for pieces that are very versatile. For example this black dress here can be worn from season to season and from occasion to occasion, and you can just do something simple as change up the sash. Here we have it also shown with this cute little red sash here and no one will ever know that you are wearing the same dress.

Some other tips are to shop at the end of the season on the sale items and then hold them over for next season. You would not want to buy anything that was too trendy because it will be pretty obvious next season that it was from the season before. But if you really stick to some classic pieces, that is a great way to shop on a budget.

Another suggestion is if there is a shop that you particularly like, you should sign up for their mailing list, or even their facebook page, because a lot of times they'll offer discounts just to members of their mailing list or their facebook fans. So there are some great tips, great ways. Get a little bit creative and have fun with it.
