How to Be a Budget Fashionista

Categories: Staff Picks , Nonfiction

 

Did 'Sex and the City' leave you craving designer labels?  Did you realize that you can't afford to dress like Carrie and the girls? Or do you like to shop for the designer labels and have no clue what a budget even is?  Do you have no idea what a fashonista even is?  Read Kathryn Finney’s delightful book How to Be a Budget Fashionista and you'll be good to go!

 

Ms. Finney packs this slim volume (only 222 pgs) with enough fashion and budget knowledge to turn anyone living on a budget or anyone who doesn't know what one is into a fashionista.  She explains what a budget fashionista is, walks the reader through budgeting (charts and all), and launches you into the world of looking like a million bucks for less.  This book really should have been called Fashion Shopping for Dummies.  The author has packed this book with fashion-related websites galore:  sites for figuring out what the current trends are, if like me, you have no clue what’s in or what’s out; sites for “cheap” makeup and sites devoted to managing money and teaching you how to budget and most importantly, take care of your all important fashion purchases after you’ve brought them home!  The author also has a website so that you can get even more current information.  This book is highly recommended.
