To answer the question above. No.
Just in case you haven’t gotten a chance to watch tv, read anything or go outside over the past year, we are in a recession. Those $30 dollar skinny jeans at Forever 21 are flying off the shelves like hot cakes and fashionistas all over the land are improvising to save money. I don’t know about ya’ll, but a textured jersey necklace tee for $58 from J.Crew is completely out of my budget. No matter how cute it is.
Luckily for us, there are a few things we fashionistas can wear for free that will always make us look fabulous, confident and fashion forward.
It might be cool on the runway to look perpetually furious, but just like the see-through tops models wear in fashion shows, it doesn’t translate in real life. Audrey Hepburn said “happy girls are the prettiest girls”. She is right. Smile whenever you can. Happiness is contagious.
Good posture can literally make anyone look good. Everything gets a healthy lift and you end up looking oh, so confident. Plus, practicing good posture now can help you avoiding getting a pesky hunchback when you are fierce and over 65.
America is one of the lucky countries with a free and unlimited supply of fresh, clean water. I happen to think that is pretty sweet. Not only do we have something free to drink every time we are thirsty, water is also fabulous for your skin. Most of those annoying skin problems like blackheads and minor blemishes can be flushed away with a tall glass of water. So skip the soda (besides it is $1.75 these days… such a rip off) and opt for water. It’s what the cool people do.
See? You can save your money. You don’t have to wear the latest styles to be totally fabulous!

Thanks for the positive blog Miss Clare! It’s nice to think about how no matter how much you may or may not be struggling financially in these unsure times, there are always a few FREE things you can do that will not only make you feel better about yourself, but hopefully rub off on others too!
I love this and it is SO true!
Love this list, hon. Thanks for the wonderful reminder that we don’t have to spend a dime to look fabulous
Oh gosh – and I SO love water, I can’t get enough…it’s the one thing I crave day in and day out.
Hope you had an amazing weekend!
hate to break it to ya but glowing skin…doesn’t come for free. hahaha. at least not for me. but i guess the weekend binge drinking doesn’t help. darn it.

Good posture is so clutch. It makes a world of difference. And it’s definitely recession friendly! : )

Wonderful post! A smile, for me, is probably one of the most important things a girl (or guy) can wear.
