It is possible to be frugal and fashionable at the same time. Instead of buying new, consider buying gently used stuff at consignment and thrift stores for bargains.
Indeed, I visit my local Goodwill, Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul stores to browse for good finds on weekends. If you visit these stores in better neighborhoods, they usually have higher quality donations that look almost like new. Why pay full price when you can get items that are like new at a fraction of the price?
A recent New York Times article, Look Who's Shopping Goodwill makes the same point too.
Bottom line: bargain hunting in consignment and thrift stores is fun. You never know what you'll find.
