Top 10 Budget Fashion Blogs
Yes, budget fashion blogs tend to use through the words "Recessionista," "Frutalista," and "Fashionista" around a lot, but don't let that keep you away - and don't think they're all alike. These blogs are worth checking out individually; read them all and you may never pay retail again.
Focuses on "style for all," with posts for both men and women. Featured clothing is searchable by price point and it's rare to see an item over $200.
This site, written and illustrated by a former Oprah writer, regularly updates readers on deals, coupon codes, and sales, including exclusive coupons.
Along with lots of information about deals, sales, and coupons, The Budget Fashionista offers lots of shopping guides (for everything from bikinis to wedding dresses). There are even free "fashion downloads" to help with tasks like taking inventory of your closet.
We love that this site is searchable by celebrity--so you can learn to create Blake Lively and Gwyneth Paltrow's looks on the cheap. And the 10 under $10 posts, a regular feature, offer stylish finds for seriously little cash.
This blog focuses on staying stylish in a not-so-hot economy: You'll find plenty of fashion posts here, along with deals on travel, entertaining, and dining out. The Recessionista is particularly good for those who are interested in luxury brands.
SheFinds is aimed at the "busy career woman" who "doesn't even have time to browse the web much less paw through endless piles of cashmere sweaters at the mall." This site does the browsing for you, and you can search it by clothing category. The extensive Sales & Deals section includes online sample sale schedules.
Budget blogs are often heavy on clothing from chain stores. We love this edgy site's focus on up-and-coming designers and Etsy finds.
You're not so edgy, you say? Then check out Target Addict, which is devoted to reviewing clothing (as well as jewelry and some other stuff) from the familiar chain. The blog is not affiliated with Target--you'll find as many rants here as raves.
This quirky (in the best way) little fashion blog has a special focus on accessories, shoes, and beauty products.
This site is aimed at "housewives and moms who want to look good, but don't want to spend a lot!" The site reviews lots of clothing (including maternity clothing) and beauty products, and also offers coupon codes and online sample sale roundups.
