When a fashionista finds herself unemployed or underemployed, it becomes a major crisis. Of course the first things to go are a manicure, pedicure and designer clothing. As the situation worsens, you may find yourself falling short when it comes to utility bills and groceries. How can a girl get by during tough times? My latest series will give you a wealth of resources to keep your head above water until better days are back.
Let's start with the stuff you need to cut out once you find out your job has gone down the toilet:
1. Handle your own beauty treatments. Invest in salon products and do-it-yourself. Even if you have savings, you will no longer be able to enjoy the pampered lifestyle to which you have become accustomed. OPI nailpolish, Nailtiques and grooming accessories will help you maintain stellar nails and toes. CHI hair products and grooming tools will keep your hair looking its best when there are several weeks between salon appointments. Loreal Colour Experte is the best way to keep your hair looking lovely and multi-dimensional when you can't drop a hundred or two for foil treatments.
2. Work with what you've got. This is not the time to add to your wardrobe. Work with what you have. Buy a couple of accessories to revamp your look in seasonal colors. Remember, your classic clothes are always in style so wear them so you don't look dated.
3. Check out thrift stores. With retro looks gaining increased popularity during these tough economic times, thrift stores are making a major comeback. Get your shop on without guilt at a thrift store. You may be amazed at what you find!
Our next entry will discuss ways to deal with food during tough times. Hang in there fashionistas, help is on the way!
