How to Dress Classy and Look Good on a Budget Simple Tips | by Erin Elizabeth

Hi guys, how's it going? Today's video we're going to be talking about how you can look classy and put together even if you're on a budget. Now, there are a few things that I do like to splurge on, but I mean for the most part I do shop within my own personal budget and there are simple ways that you can step your style game up and look classy even if you are on a budget, so let's get into it. My first tip would be to avoid wearing any big logos or graphics on your clothing. I find this can just make your outfit look a lot more casual and laid back, so if you are aiming for a more classic and timeless look then you're going to want to opt for more basic pieces. Basic pieces are definitely the way to go if you want a more timeless and classic vibe and the thing with basics is you really don't have to break the bank to grab some great pieces. Like, I have personally bought a lot of my basic tees and tops for like $10 to $20. Just make sure that the fabric's not, you know, like see-through or anything like that. But yeah, you really don't have to break the bank to grab some cute basic timeless pieces. Make sure that your clothing actually fits you properly. There's nothing worse than having something that's way too tight or just way too baggy on you. If your clothing is way too tight then you're probably going to be like tugging at it and adjusting it all day so that it's covering up, whereas if your clothing is really big or really baggy then you might look a little more frumpy or you're going to lose your body shape. So make sure that your clothing actually fits you properly and you look well put together and that's going to help you have that more classic vibe as well. The key to a classic and timeless vibe is clothes that fit you properly and that you're comfortable in because that way you're going to be very confident in them as well. If you really want to go for that classic vibe then I would suggest adding a watch to your outfit. Watches are just so timeless and classic and they honestly never go out of style. So grab a really cute watch that you can add to all of your outfits and this is something you also do not have to break the bank on. I think the very first watch I ever got for myself was from Aldo. It was around $20 and it had just like a plain black faux leather strap and then a white face on top. So super simple and it just added something to all of my outfits and yeah I just absolutely love it. I feel like they are just such a great piece to add if you want that classier vibe. Find something that's within your budget and even check out thrift stores and things like that. My next tip is to scope out the thrift stores. So thrift stores are an awesome place that you can find pieces for really great prices. You're probably not going to find the hottest trends in a thrift store but you can scope out quality basic pieces. So whenever I go to the thrift store I typically like to look for things like blazers or jackets or nice blouses and things like that because you can find items like that for a really great price. So whenever you're hitting up the thrift store just keep your eyes peeled for some of those more timeless pieces. Pay attention to the details so make sure you're not a wrinkled mess before you leave the house. Grab you know your iron or your steamer and make sure your outfit is good to go. And also pay attention to things like maybe some strings that are hanging off your clothes or your tags are hanging out. So just give yourself a full double check before you leave the house. Make sure your outfit is good to go and you're looking good. And lastly is to just be presentable. Now I know this one sounds obvious but you know make sure you're clean, you're smelling okay, don't forget your deodorant and make sure your nails are not a hot mess. This is why I like to wear more nude nail polish on my fingernails just because if my nails do chip then it's not so obvious as if I was wearing a really dark colour. So yeah just keep things like that in mind. And I know a lot of people also just leave their hair as an afterthought but at least put a brush through your hair if you don't have time to fully style it. Just make sure you're looking good like head to toe and always keep that in mind before you leave the house for the day. So that's it for my video so you guys on how you can just look a little bit more classic and timeless and look good on a budget. Hopefully you found these tips helpful and make sure you guys check out my blog as well for more content and I will see you guys in my next video. Bye!
