Designer Wardrobes on a Budget
As much as we all want to have the hottest new pair of shoes, the cutest new dress or the incredibly stylish jeans, it's not always possible. Money is a rare commodity in a lot of families, whether you're a parent, a college or University student or simply trying to make ends meet while working. Well, you'll be happy to know that just because you're on a budget it does not mean that you can't afford a high end, super hot wardrobe ? it just means you'll have to look a little harder. Luckily, I'm here to help.
There are many ways to spend you're money wisely, here are just a few:
Vintage and Second-Hand Stores ? Some people cringe when they hear the words vintage, second-hand or used clothing.
It's really not as bad as it sounds. Most second-hand clothing is barely used and many places won't even take the clothing unless they are in mint condition. It's going to take you a little longer to look through all the designs ? and some of them may not be a high end label like Burberry ? but once you find one, you've hit the jackpot. Vintage clothing is extremely popular in Hollywood as well. Many of the hottest celebrities who can afford to spend thousands of dollars on their wardrobes choose to buy vintage instead.
Buy a Few Pieces and Maximize on them ? One piece of design clothing isn't going to break the bank. So if you choose one that you really like (preferably a jacket, sweater or something that can be mixed with a number of other pieces) you will be able to maximize on the one piece by wearing it with a number of other outfits.
Likewise, articles of clothing like scarves and sweaters will be even more effective when it comes to mixing and matching because they can be used more often and paired with more outfits than say a pair of jeans or shoes.
Look For Deals ? Smart Shopping is the best way to save money. Looking for deals may be a little more time consuming than just whipping into a store and purchasing the first amazing piece that you see but, in the end, it's definitely worth it.
The best time to look for deals is either at the end of a season or when a store/company is relocating or closing. Generally, seasonal sales are the best way to save money on designer clothing, so make sure you keep an eye out at the end of each season.
Saving money on your designer wardrobe really comes down to smart shopping. If you can't afford a $400 dollar shirt then don't buy it. Wait until you find a deal that fits into your budget and you'll be much happier in the long run..
Fall/Winter Fashion for Teens - 2004-2005
Anything burgandy, which I love seems to be one of the fall colours. Also love dark brown. There is lots of brown in many shades, but still reds, blacks, greys, greens. Much better color selection this fall than last year when where there was almost only black, red and olive greens.The fashion mood is mix-and-match with girly looks such as ruffles, embroidery, fringe, sparkles, creative colors, playful patterns. This is a departure from the hard-core sex appeal from seasons past.Satin is not just for evenings anymore...bring it into the light during the day by pairing a satin camisole with a fitted jacket or wear a satin skirt with a knitted cardigan.
This fabric also looks great with denim. Bottom line, the best way to wear it is to highlight just one piece: a little satin goes a long way.Best example - pink satin cami under a blazer.Ponchos, capes and wraps continue to make news. There are lots of quirky tweeds, funky mohair and slinky jeans, shrunken tweed blazers worn with...

Party Cowboy Hats
What better place to show off your best costume accessory -- the cowboy hat -- than at a Wild West Theme Party. The range of cowboy hats in various shapes, colors and materials makes for interesting viewing in photographs taken at these galas. The Beer cowboy hat, fabricated from 18 pack beer cases, is an innovative example.
Today, there are wide selections of cowboy hats in any hat store you go to. From straw to felt to PVC, cowboy hats come in all kinds of materials. Designs include flocked, with cord, a tiara above the brim, painted, sequined, a-shine with glitter of every hue or you can request to custom order your own.
Team a cowboy party hat with a snazzy pair of cowboy boots, a cowboy gun, some tinsel pompoms and you're sure to be the toast of the party.
Party cowboy hats are a natural fit with the outdoors and can be teamed with plaid shirts, jeans and maybe a bandana. Square dance and barbecue parties are ideal to strut out in your best-loved...

A Country Boy?s View on Fashion
I still can't understand it. After all these years, I can't make a lick of sense out of what folks consider to be in or out of fashion ? appropriate or inappropriate attire or appearance. What was "in" last year, might be "out" this year ? or it might be in but you need to change what you wear with it. What was OK for spring and summer probably won't work well for fall and winter - weather considerations aside. And what is in was likely already in somewhere around 20 or so years ago but then it went out so something else could be in.
And why don't they just come right out and say FAKE fur instead of trying to dress it up with a fancy foreign word? Thank God for jeans?I gotta find the Fashion Holy Book. I know there has to be one out there somewhere that says that it's a sin to wear the same thing as you wore last year. Or maybe it's just sometimes that it's a sin. I dunno. All I know is that the ladies section has to be really big.
Like maybe everything but the last seven...
