Tips on saving

Strings of Cotton is brought to you by a group of university students and the biggest problem I have while trying to keep up with fashion trends is the cost. I mean, what university student has that much money? Haha well, I've compiled a list of things I usually to keep my spending to a low. Hopefully this list helps you save some money too!

1. Always check for student or corporate discounts.
   
   

   
   
   
   
2. Fill out surveys, sign up for company's mailing list (physical and email), like on facebook, follow on instagram and twitter to get all the promos you can.
3. Just because something is a good deal doesn't mean you should buy it. Only buy what you would wear (or what you are sure that you can resell for more).
4. Buy things that work with your existing wardrobe.
5. Only buy things that you will wear. If something is the wrong color, size, texture, shape, or if you already have a better alternative that you will always wear instead of it, or if it doesn't match your style or doesn't fit in your wardrobe, dont buy it!
6. Shop the clearance racks. items who's season just ended often hit the clearance racks. if possible, buy things like coats at the end of winter, and shorts at the end of summer.
   
   

   

   Just an example of a clearance sale.

   
   
7. Know what you want. think out the looks you want to complete and have a list of items you need.

With just a few of these tips you'll be able to save some money when it comes to adding more to your wardrobe.

Hope it helps!
