Fashionistas who want to look chic on the cheap, this is the blog for you. Just because you can’t afford a pair of $300 shoes doesn’t mean you still can’t be stylish. From sale alerts to fabulous vintage stores, the Budget Fashionista makes it easy to build a stylish wardrobe even if you’re on a tight budget.
The woman behind the blog is Kathryn Finney, a self-proclaimed fashion lover with a low budget. She started the blog in 2003, and today it is one of the most widely read websites on the internet, making her an internet celebrity. Thanks to her, women can now find extremely affordable alternatives to the stylish yet costly ensembles we see on magazines and on the internet. The Budget Fashionista is the brainchild of Simply Good Media, a blog network that focuses on spreading information about how to “live fabulously for less.”
Rather than focusing on just any fashion trend, the Budget Fashionista offers real practical advice on clothing, fashion, beauty and trends. And the best part is, they tell you where to find them. You’ll find lots of information on stores and vintage shops where you can get that $500 outfit for less than $100. It’s a treasure chest for bargain hunters.
The Budget Fashionista also provides fashion and product reviews, which is really useful if you’re in a dilemma deciding if you will go for a certain product or not. Because it’s already an established blog, many women frequent the site and readers can view the feedback and polls conducted by the Budget Fashionista. This makes things a whole lot easier when deciding what to purchase.
The readers’ advice dispelled by the website ranges from DIY fixes, online shopping boutiques, opinions on the latest trends, home and décor, sale alerts, and almost any other fashion and beauty aspect you need to look great and feel great. If you don’t mind splurging a bit more for certain items, the Budget Fashionista offers great advice on what things deserve the splurge.
The entries on the Budget Fashionista are easy to read, light, and injected with humor. Whether you have just started reading the blog, or have been a long-time fan, there’s something for all of us in the Budget Fashionista. The simple yet colorful layout of the website makes it easy to navigate through other areas of interest, such as the archives, fashion links, and other websites from Simply Good Media. One of the best parts in the website is when you click on the “Sale” button in the top area, you will be provided with information on the latest sample sales happening in Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York. Readers are invited to participate on the forums, where they can freely dispense fashion and beauty advice, reviews, and opinions for other readers to read and comment on.
The Budget Fashionista is open for advertising and other partnerships. How to do this can be found in the “About” page, where readers are also provided with contact information.
