This is BS: Budget Shopping!

Attention All College Students: If you are looking for amazing deals, KEEP READING.

Below are five companies that are amazing, trendy, and affordable. Take a look!

1. Marshall's/ TJ MAXX/ Home Goods

This is my go to spot for shopping on a college budget. We all know that after paying for bills and books we need our personal spending money for clothes. This is the perfect place to get designer brand clothing and quality brands at a reduced price. They are one of the largest off-price retailers of apparel and home fashions. They are consistent with keeping up with styles and and current trends at affordable prices. A perfect example of affordable pricing is when I went to Marshall's and bought a dusty rose top, a pastel blue shoulder cut-out shirt, a floral dress, and leggings for about $45. This is a great place for trendy deals.

2. Shein

This is an online retailer that I heard about through a friend and it is a great brand to buy from when you have limited spending money. There is a large amount of pros to this decision: they offer a huge variety of sizes, they have men's, women's, and children's clothing, they offer clothing and accessories, and so much more. I have ordered from them on multiple occasions and have always been satisfied. The best part is every item sold has customer reviews on it that tells you how they fit, the material, and overall satisfaction. It also benefits the customers because when they post a review, they receive rewards points towards future purchases. Their prices are extremely affordable and their products are fashionable!

3. Fashion Nova

This company is a well-known brand that is known for being the fastest growing online clothing brand. I discovered this company on Instagram when a lot of my followers were posting about them. I followed the company on social media account and quickly discovered that they are consistently up with fashion trends and all about complimenting curvy women! Usually one of my biggest struggles while shopping is finding clothing that fits my chest and hips perfectly. This brand is known for offering clothing that is cheaper, on trend, and curve positive! Fashion Nova is also constantly sending their consumers coupons codes on already marked down items. How could you go wrong?!

4. Old Navy

Old Navy is another great company that is known for their sales and savings. They are very family oriented and concerned about their customer's overall experience and savings. This store is perfect for trendy and comfortable clothing. Old Navy is the cheapest version of the owner's three branches: Banana Republic, Gap, and obviously Old Navy. This is perfect when shopping on a budget because you can buy trendy clothing at an affordable price. They are constantly having sales and clearance events.

5. Forever 21

Last but certainly not least is Forever 21. This company wants women to be confident at an extremely affordable price. Forever 21 is well known for having clothing at low prices for men and women. They have cute and stylish clothing that keeps up with current trends. I have been wanting a blush pink utility jacket from Forever 21 which is $29.90. They also have a lot of items on clearance that are still stylish and adorable. I bought a white sweater dress, an over-sized caramel sweater, an off the should top, and an emerald green cardigan for $45. This is a steal!

Happy Shopping!

Sincerely Yours, Ciel
