Shopping on a Budget
stretching $20
Shopping for new clothes can be a strain on one’s bank account, or for a teenager like me, on one’s allowance. Searching for quality clothes at a reasonable price can be exhausting. Luckily, thrift stores exist. My friend and I went to the thrift store and filled a shopping cart with various clothes. It is important to thoroughly look through all the racks because it’s so easy to skip by an item you might like to try on. If you have a smaller build, this includes rummaging through the boy’s section too! Be patient and try on anything that grabs your eye; the thrift store never disappoints. Below are the gently used clothes that I scored for under 20 dollars.
Tommy Hilfiger Slim Fit Polo Shirt- A flattering Tommy shirt that is perfect for a preppy look.

Thrift: $2.99
Pine Peak Blues Corduroy Pants- Found these pants from the boy’s section and they are comfy and stylish. Don’t be afraid to shop in all sections of the store. You never know what you will find!
Original: Unknown but Pine Peak Blues is sold at Nordstrom and Children’s Place so it’s definitely a higher end clothing company
Thrift: $2.99
Tommy Hilfiger Corduroy Blazer- Another corduroy item, and you will definitely see me wearing this Tommy jacket frequently!
