As much as we all love keeping up with the latest fashion trends we know it can be difficult. The trends are constantly changing and it seems like prices are only going up. As college girls we don’t have alot to work with except maybe the minimum wage we make at our part-time job or the help we get from our parents. Because of this, satifying not only our fahsion wants but also our needs can sometimes seem unreachable. But the truth is that even on a budget you can look fabulous and still buy all of the pieces you need for school and work. These 10 pieces are so versatile, they can be used for many different occasions. They were all purchased for under $50.
