hey guys look back to the channel so
today I'm super excited because I'm
talking about something near and dear to
my heart which is how to look cute on
budgets this is basically something that
I struggle with every single day of my
life as a broke-ass college student and
a youtuber who is not very famous at all
I just stole my years of broad
fashionista knowledge into 6 tips that
I've written down on my phone so
hopefully this will be relatively
concise we'll see so I know you guys are
probably tired of hearing the advice to
invest in good basics and I sure as hell
am because I feel like what constitutes
a basic or just like a really good piece
it's different for everybody so instead
I'm just going to say make sure you're
buying clothes that have a good fit and
a good fabrication because I think these
are the things that are going to make
your clothes look and feel really
upscale and just look really good on you
and make you want to wear them all the
time that doesn't necessarily mean that
they can't be trendy or that they can't
be from a really cheap store because H&M
and forever 21 if you dig around like a
lot do have some decent fabrics that
will last you a long time and will just
feel and look really expensive so I
would show you guys an example of that
like cheap polyester II fabric from
forever 21 that's like really
uncomfortable and it just looks really
cheap but I actually just left all of my
pieces like that at home I didn't even
bother bringing them to college because
I knew that I just didn't like wearing
them in terms of fit particularly for
stuff like dresses and jeans it's worth
trying on a lot a lot of different pairs
in the store even though I know like who
the [ __ ] shops in store anymore
but at the end of the day if you can get
a good pair of jeans or good dress that
actually fit like a dream you'll just
wear it all the time and you look at
Super Bowl and super expensive so my
second tip is particularly if you're
living out of a smaller space you're in
college like me or you have a smaller
apartment or you just don't like oh the
[ __ ] ton of clothes is to try to buy
clothes in a kind of cohesive color
scheme so that doesn't mean that they
all have to be like monochromatic
although I do kind of race that I just
have like a black way in grey closet
some days because I feel like
easy to style but I would recommend
trying to find like two to three colors
that look really good on you or kind of
a color scheme like pastels or like
jewel tone colors or bright colors so
that all your clothes will mix and match
really well I personally wear a lot of
black and white and then the dusty mauve
pink that you guys have probably seen a
lot I have a few Navy pieces a few and
olive green and that's pretty much it
I found that if I buy something outside
that color scheme like in a bright teal
or like a bold red for example like even
if I'm not trying I'll just not wear
that piece as much because it's so
awkward to pair with the other clothes
in my wardrobe that I just can't make
outfits as easily so if you just want to
make your life super easy in the morning
and get the most out of the pieces that
you wear and be able to make the most
outfits possible I would definitely
recommend just choosing like a couple
colors and then every single piece in
your closet will go together and you can
make a ton of outfits my third piece of
advice is to get creative when it comes
to your clothing which encompasses a lot
of things it could be something as
simple as wearing like a wide neck tee
or sweater off the shoulder or putting
like a knot in your t-shirt dress or
like a loose t-shirt that doesn't fit so
well or something that I do a lot is
layering dresses and rompers and turning
them just into shorts of skirts so
basically if you just have a short dress
that has a really cute top portion too
and you may be worn the dress too many
times as is and the outfit you can
totally just throw a skirt over the
bottom section of the dress and it
becomes a shirt and nobody will be the
wiser the same thing goes for rompers
particularly if they have like not a
super voluminous short section they can
basically just become a bodysuit and you
can totally layer different bottoms over
that if you're a little crafty or
honestly if you're not even that crafty
because this is super simple there are
some really easy ways to tailor your
clothes to make them look more unique
and like they were just made real first
of all basically any distress item like
a distressed t-shirt or distressed jeans
or cutoff shorts you can make those
yourself with like any random
that you found it thrift store just take
some scissors to it there are tutorials
on YouTube hack that [ __ ] up and you'll
be really proud of the final result
particularly if you're a little shorter
like me and you have trouble finding
jeans that are the perfect length
totally just feel free to take a pair of
scissors to the bottom kind of rough it
up a little bit and give them like a
really nice distressed hem that way
basically any jeans that you find in the
sales section can become like the
perfect length ankle jeans and they look
really really cute something may be a
little bit more advanced is I'll buy
like oversized tees and sweatshirts and
then just cut off the bottom and turn it
into like a really cute crop top I
obviously know accessorizing clean I
don't even have my ears pierced and not
even like wearing any jewelry right now
because I honestly have never got the
hang of it and I do like a lot with my
hands during the day so I don't want
rings clacking around but I did buy this
watch which I wear in like pretty much
every video and every day of my life
which has been just a lifesaver this was
like originally $100 but I got it for
like 30 bucks at all v but it looks
really expensive in my opinion so if you
can find like an everyday accessory like
this whether it's like a necklace or
earrings or watch if you're into watches
like me basically anything that looks
really luxurious and classy that you can
throw on everyday and will kind of
elevate your look a little bit on the
opposite end of the spectrum too you can
totally use like cheap accessories from
forever 21 and H&M in order to make your
outfit look a little bit more trendy I
know there was like a huge choker thing
I'll go if that's still going on but
those are really really affordable way
to make a cute outfit chu they're a
little bit more of an expensive
accessory but I'm totally a shoe girl so
I'm a sucker for that I buy like way too
many trendy shoes but I feel like if you
just change up the shoes with an outfit
it'll change the entire look especially
if you're going from like some leopard
flats to some heels my fifth tip which I
myself have just been learning over the
past year is that your makeup and hair
really do make a big difference at the
end of the day you can be wearing like a
$5 t-shirt and if you have amazing
Oh a makeup look and like your hair is
all curls you'll look like a million
bucks it really doesn't matter I don't
like getting into makeup is like a whole
nother bottomless pit where you can just
throw all of your savings but there are
so many YouTube tutorials on like
contouring cut crease I don't even know
what other makeup terms are um that can
show you for free how to do your makeup
really really well and I think it's like
a lot of the time just a matter of
experimentation on your own face finding
like what brows look best on you and how
to bring out your eyeliner and stuff
like that
which is something that I am still in
the process of but I think at the end of
the day it's like your outfit could be
full Chanel's your Gucci designer names
um and your brows could be off and you
know your whole look is ruined I feel
like after choosing an outfit and
spending like five hours on my brows I
always forget about my hair and that is
something that I evidently also need to
work on because it's kind of just thrown
back right now but I do a little braid
on the side I tried today um in the
future I'm going to definitely try like
actually styling my hair more because it
does kind of take a lot of time but like
a curling iron is super cheap it's like
20 bucks you can get one at the
drugstore but you can use it for years
and have cute hair like every single day
and just like having good properly
styled hair can totally make any outfit
look more expensive my final tip is
super quick but also super important
which is just to wear your clothes with
confidence like no matter what your very
if you bought it for like $1 at thrift
store if you're wearing a [ __ ] potato
sack like you can look cute if you just
like for date with confidence so on that
