Be a Fierce Recessionista!
Dress to impress.
Let’s face it. Times are tough and many people are cutting back on extra spending. You may not be able to shop at those high-end department stores for a moment or two, but that doesn’t mean you still can’t look fierce.
Fashion stylist Nolé Marin is telling us how to look hot on a budget!
#1. Pair faux leather with dresses for a modern edge.
Just say faux. This entire look is by Rachel Roy. The faux leather jacket is $149 and the swing dress is just $109. Those cuffs are $75 and the heels can be yours for $99.

#2. Pair dresses with booties for a boho chic look.
Want to tap into your inner Bohemian? Simply add a combination of vintage and hippy elements to your wardrobe and you can step out in style this fall.
The Anna Sui dress for Target is $59.99 and those booties will cost you $29.99.

#3. Invest in multi-functional garments and save money on additional outfits.
The best way to save money is to buy pieces that you can wear multiple ways. Remember, be creative and use your wardrobe to make a statement.
This Norma Kamali dress for Wal-Mart is only $24 and can give you 7 — yes 7 — different looks!
Walk away with those Christian Siriano shoes for Payless for $39.99.

#4. Invest in garments with embellishments and save on accessories.
Embellishments are in this fall. Go easy on the accessories and let your embellished wardrobe pieces make a statement.
The Charlotte Ronson boyfriend jacket is $72, which is the perfect pairing with the embellished t-shirt for $36.
The faux leather leggins, also by Charlotte Ronson, are $50 and can be paired with other tops to create multiple looks.
The Christina Siriano shoes are from Payless and will cost you $49.99.
