Review: How To Be A Budget Fashionista
Finals, family dinners, apartment cleaning and all that made me finish the book a little late. I guess it’s better late than never. How to Be a Budget Fashionista by Kathryn Finney is a book for all of those, like me, that are forced to concider budget when building up a wardrobe. The first chapter of the book starts on just that - budgeting. This chapter alone makes the book worth it’s money. In the following chapters you can read about how to dress to fit your figure and fidning your personals style. Quizes and useful information help guide you to do less of those impulse buys that end up in the back of your closet. One of my favorite chapters is the one on beauty where you find many good tips on how you can improve your looks with what you find in your kitchen.
It’s difficult summarize this book in just a few words cause these 222 pages contain so much. You learn about internet shopping, how to haggle in a store, how to raise money for more shopping, how to get stains out of garments… It’s an unbelievable source of useful information that will truly live up to it’s promise of being “The ultimate guide to looking fabulous for less”. It’s all written with humor and warmth where the writer shares many of her own experiences. I highly recommend getting this book and I know I will get great use of it in the future.

Great book, I bought it recently too. It’s chock full of helpful tips. Another useful book is “Fashionista Files: Adventures in Four Inch Heels”. I can’t remember the authors’ last names, but their first names are Melissa and Karen. Both books can be found for decent prices on amazon.com.
