“Fake it until you make it.”
Your guide to Dress Professionally on a Budget
- First and foremost, the most inexpensive thing to wear is CONFIDENCE! Hold your head up high, stand up tall, and push your shoulders back to demonstrate just that. People are drawn to others that are sure of themselves.
- Pick a few versatile items that you can wear interchangeably with several different outfits. Some examples might be: cardigan, plain skirt, dress, Khaki pants, dress pants, costume jewelry set, black dress shoes or a scarf.
- Buy items that are machine washable. Dry cleaning clothes can get very costly and should be avoided when on a tight budget.
- Yard sales, secondhand stores, and hand-me-downs are great ways to acquire gently used items. Most of the time the time you can find some really nice pieces that someone else already paid the premium. Also, stores that buy clothes in large quantities to sell (ex. Walmart) are very helpful places to search for items.
- There is nothing worse than seeing a coworkers booty exposed from bending down and their pants not covering properly. Therefore, while you are searching for your go-to items, be sure to bend down and reach across to ensure full coverage.
- Extra Tip-Make sure your undergarments are properly fitting to ensure that whichever items you choose will look smooth and not distract the eye!
