In my previous outfitpost I was telling you how easy it was to look great with less clothes and I got some nice compliments for that post. Reason for me to spend again some more time to show you some tricks how to look stunning with less. I collected all my shopping experience and wrote a "What To Do" list for you readers. I hope it will be useful. Enjoy.  The main rule number one is.   01 KNOW WHAT YOU BUY: Of-course it's nice to buy as many as you like in cheap stores (I do it myself sometimes) but saving up money and buy the real musthaves is the better work. I do not say you have to buy expensive clothes all the time but I remember how happy I was when I finally were able to buy my YSL Leopard sneakers after saving up some money. Everyone knows that musthaves makes your outfit complete. See those kind of buys as an investment cause nine out of ten it lasts much longer. To be honest with you I rather prefer one Designer item than ten crappy-made items but that doesn't mean it has to be expensive. Luxury don't have to be expensive.   02 COPY CAT THE BRANDS: When I go to Fashion week or when I am surfing on the webs I see amazing clothes. Unfortunately my wallet is not always allowing me to buy those things so, what to do? Well, shops like Zara or H&M are the key to Copy Cat the styles of the shows you like. Usually a collection is about a concept, when you got the concept you can create the same style in your own way and look much cooler. For example my studded bracelet on my picture. I bought it very cheap at a vintage store. It kinda reminds me of the Hermes Bracelet, No ?? 03 SALE SALE SALE Oh how I love sale and I think many of us do. Ofcourse I did not paid the full amount for my YSL Leopard shoes. I patiently waited until the shop had "50% discount" written on their window. Lucky as I was I ran inside, grabbed my shoes, paid with my saved up money and Viola, there they were, my beauties !! Besides that I was able to buy lots more crazy stuff like my Dolce & Gabbana shades thanks to "sale" and the "saving up rule" !! Killed two birds with one stone. 04 DO IT YOURSELF (DIY) Next to buying things you can clean out your closet. By cleaning out your closet you will find things you will never wear again. Most people will throw it away but wait.. Why not customize it ?! It makes your style rare and hard to copy. People will ask you where you are buying your stuff and in times like these I think it's really important to stand out from the crowd, be creative with your style and play with it. Be different. Cutting off the sleeves of a blazer can make the difference and no money attached !! I'm wondering if you readers have some more tips about the issue "How To look Fashion for less"  issue. Tell me..
