Being a young woman in college, we always have pressure on us to have an outfit for every event. Whether it's a frat party, sorority recruitment, job interviews, or formals, we need outfits - and that can rack up a bill! One thing we may not have been taught in high school was how to shop smarter, especially since our parents were paying for our clothes the majority of the time. I know this isn’t the case for everyone, but this was definitely something I struggled with, and I know I’m not the only one. With that said, let’s dive right into it! us.shein.com Shein is definitely one of my go-to online shops for when I’m in desperate need of some new clothes that are cheap and cute. They add new items to their website everyday and are always caught up on the latest trends. Personally, I do a lot of my shopping for sorority events and frat parties on this website because I can get at least 10 items for $100. This shop is great for bulk shopping to stock up for different events, vacations, or even just your everyday clothes! I just did a HUGE $250 shopping spree here and got 20 different items, including matching sets. My package should be coming soon and I can’t wait to do a review for y’all! vicicollection.com Vici is one of my go to stores to buy outfits for special events. They always have the cutest formal dresses for under $100, and their quality of clothing is amazing. I have dresses that I have bought both in store and online that have lasted me over 3 years! If you are looking to spend a little bit more for something you know you will wear again, this is definitely your place to shop! I have bought just about every dress for pref day, formals, and weddings from this store, and I would definitely give it a 10/10. target.com Target is usually a given when you are looking to spend less on clothes, but I want to throw it in here specifically for when you are shopping for clothes for a job interview. Target has an amazing selection of professional clothes that are relatively cheap. Now, I’m not saying everything is going to be under $20, and yes it might rack up a bill, but this is the place to go when you need that one staple outfit to make a great first impression to a potential new employer. They have the cutest power suits and blouses, and you can even top off the outfit with some cute accessories and shoes! amazon.com Now, a lot of people tend to forget that amazon has some amazing clothing lines that sell through them. I check out their deals almost every single day, just to make sure I’m not missing out on some major deals from my favorite brands. They carry big brands like Levi’s, Ella Moss, Adidas, Nike, and Calvin Klein, just to name a few. They also provide lookbooks and sections based off of trends that are circulating in the moment! Don't forget - They also offer a prime membership for students so be sure to utilize that! I love utilizing thrift shops for when I need something really fast, but don’t have a lot of money. There is a pair of shorts I wear a lot and post a lot in (because they are my favorite shorts in the world), and I actually got them for $4 at a Goodwill. They are men's Levi’s that I cut myself and it was the best investment I have ever made. I rarely ever buy shorts from stores because I am bigger in the thigh region, so I can never find anything that fits right. Thrifting pants and turning them into shorts is definitely the right move if you have the same problem as me because you can tailor them to your liking! I also love utilizing thrift shops for themed parties because you can find just about any outfit/costume within minutes! I like to shop at stores who tend to have a lot of great sales as well! I check on these stores’ websites once a week or so, just to see if anything new has been marked down! Some of my favorites: ★Madewell Great for jeans, blouses, dresses, and accessories ★Nordstrom/Nordstrom Rack Great for getting all of your shopping done in one place ★Urban Outfitters Great for accessories and fad trends ★Carly Jean Los Angeles Great for getting your basic outfit staples ★Top Shop Great for fad trends, bathing suits, shoes, and bags ★Old Navy Great for bathing suits, loungewear, and basic outfit staples With how many questions I get asked about where I shop, I thought that I would just make this post short and sweet so that I don’t overload you with information. I’m excited to say that I will be making a LIKEtoKNOW.it soon, so you will be able to access information about any outfits I post soon! I have loved sharing all of my favorite stores with you, and if you have any stores that you swear by that aren’t on this list, shoot me a message! I would love to connect. xo, The Undergrad
