Get the Luxe Look for Less

Here are a few simple tips to looking fab without forking out the cash.

1) Raid nana’s wardrobe or invest in some cheap jewelery.

Accessories are the best way to add a bit of glam. And don’t be shy, wear 4 necklaces at once.

Go for fake pearls and interesting beads. The longer the better, wear them around your neck today, or wrap them around wrist at night.

2) Mix and Match. We get into the habit of wearing the same outfits all the time. Mix your favourite jeans with a different top and a different pair of shoes and you’ll be amazed at the instant revamp.

3) Get crafty. If you have a pair of jeans that are now too short for you, cut them into a pair of shorts. In can be a little tricky but that what’s YouTube is for, type in “how to cut denim” and there’s a step by step video.

4) Second hand stores are chocker block full of vintage gems, you just have to learn how to look for them. Don’t be afraid of the yuck stuff, persevere, rummage and don’t rush.
