How to create a new look on a budget

Do you love fashion? Enjoy looking at celebrities and spotting new trends? Do you enjoy the feeling of a whole new outfit, but don't have the budget to match your fashion dreams?  Welcome to the world of average Australian women!  However, all is not lost and with a few quick and simple fashion tips you can freshen up your current wardrobe and create a whole new range of looks.

Make an impact. Do you have a classy, favourite little black dress, but feel it has been worn too many times? Accessorise with some statement jewellery.  The dark palette lets your jewellery become a focal point so choose a chunky bangle or a statement, vintage look necklace for instant class.

Add a pop of colour.  Brighten any outfit and give it a quirky, fun twist with a bright coloured bag or purse.  For more formal occasions, or the races, choose a hat to give you a great formal look and instant chic.  One tip is to choose shapes and designs that are classic, this means they last season after season without losing style.

Choose one on-trend item.  Find out what the latest trends are and buy one piece of on-trend fashion to see you through the season without losing style points.  For example, this winter, chunky, oversized cardigans are popular and add cafe chic style as well as warmth to keep you through winter.  Throw this over your jeans and top, add some heels and a statement bag and you are ready to hit any hot Eastern suburbs lunch spot.

By choosing wisely, keeping design trends classic and adding a pop of colour along the way you can easily re-invent your wardrobe and give yourself the confidence and style to see you through the fashion seasons!
