How To Shop on a College Budget + How I Saved $500 Shopping Online



Hello all! I'm back after a very long break. Ethan and I have been traveling all over the place and have had some pretty awesome adventures. We've gone shopping, visited the zoo, and met some of my favorite actors. If you would like to see all of our journeys you can head over to my Instagram.
Anyways, I'm going to talk about my favorite stores and how I buy good quality clothes on a college student budget.

Right now, my favorite store is LOFT. They have amazing online deals and I have been spending most of my money on clothes from their online store. Their deals are so good that I was able to spend about $200 on over $775 worth of clothes. Most of the clothes that I bought from LOFT this summer are seen and linked in my previous post. Here are my main rules for buying good quality clothes at lower prices:

#1 Always look at the sale section online. (You can usually find the best deals online and find some good coupon codes)

#2 Search for things that you know you're going to wear. Avoid buying things that you know will not be the most comfortable thing you've ever bought.

#3 Limit the amount of money you pay for each item. Most of the clothes on LOFT.com that I've bought have all been under $15.

#4 Find the best basics you know will be versatile. Find things that will go with clothes that are already in your closet.

#5 Wait until the store your shopping at releases new sale items and additional promo codes.

These are the main rules I follow when I shop online and it has proven to be the most beneficial.

That's all for today folks! I move back into college in a week and I will try to blog as much as I can after I get situated there.

With love,
