Let’s be honest here, we’re all broke college students in need of fall clothing and more financial aid. Between classes, clubs, partying, and the never-ending homework who really has time to find the best deals? Well lucky for you, I procrastinated enough to make time and have decided to bestow my knowledge upon others. So without further ado, from one broke college girl to another, here are my best finds.

 

Online Shopping

Alright, this first one is basically everyone’s borderline addiction, but it has never failed me. Online Shopping. Thats right, the Internet is more than a study tool (lol) but also a way to find the best deals in a short amount of time. Websites like SheIn, Zaful, Amazon, and as cliche as it might sound, FashionNova, all have great clothes at low prices. As someone who has spent way too much money on all these websites, here is what I have concluded. SheIn and Zaful are both great sites for jackets/coats, all tops from crop to sweaters, and even underwea

                                                  The first little number? 9 DOLLARS!!                                            Down with the 80s cool girl look? I got you

 

Now, onto the most controversial of all, FashionNova. We’ve all heard of Kylie Jenner repping their jeans, but does she even wear them? Well I have to tell ya, I don’t know, nor do I care. What I do know is that their jeans are worth the hype AND have a reasonable price tag.

                                                                                                  Comfortable and high-waisted? Yes please.   

 

Amazon is an essential for any college student and we all know that it comes in clutch with the lowest prices. Amazon doesn’t only come in clutch when it comes to laptop chargers and dorm decor, but with some fire clothes, too. 

                                                                                                       On that note, did someone say girls night out?

 

 

In-Store Shopping

If you’re looking for something a bit more concrete TJ Maxx, Ross, and Five Below are great places to start. TJ Maxx constantly has name brand makeups such as Anastasia Beverly Hills, NARS, Too Faced, and much more for half of the original cost. Also, TJ Maxx has an amazing selection of clothes ranging from the cutest coats to the most stylish tops. Ross definitely has the most selection when it comes to clothes and the prices are nothing to complain about. I always buy jeans and tops when I make my too often trips, and there’s constantly new inventory being set out. Five Below is a bit unexpected, but hear me out. I have bought a lot (I mean a lot) of jewelry from here and I have never been let down. I recommend buying more accessory type items such as hats and jewelry here more than anything, because who doesn’t love to have bling on a budget? So, take this wisdom with you the next time you debate emptying your bank account on one item and be a baddie on a budget.
