Do you guys have that one brand that you feel like you could honestly buy out the entire store? One brand that you could see yourself wearing at least 99.999% of their clothes? Mine is hands down J. Crew. I love how they mix more edgy and "carefree" items with a hint of preppy and put together - their clothing embodies exactly how I always envisioned myself looking.
Unfortunately for me, my job only pays $7.25 an hour ... not even near enough to sustain my J. Crew addiction (womp).
However, what you can do in order to make your favorite brand work on your budget is to simply use it as inspiration! Scan through their website, and see which outfits they have that you think you have similar items to in your own closet.
For example, this is me wearing non-J. Crew clothes from my own closet, simply using the pictures on their site as inspiration:
J. Crew's Version vs. Mine [skirt, Old Navy; sweater, thrifted; belt, UO; shoes, Target]
J. Crew's Version vs. Mine [shorts, Old Navy; sweater, Old Navy]
J. Crew's Version vs. Mine [skirt, Banana Republic; sweater, thrifted; belt, thrifted; shirt, Kmart]
J. Crew's Version vs. Mine [skirt, Banana Republic; tank top, hand-me-down; belt, Target]
While it might not be exactly the same, it's a great way to incorporate styles you love AND find new ways to wear your wardrobe, without spending any money at all!
