Budget Fashion Secrets from the Costume Designer of ‘2 Broke Girls’

tFS: If you don’t have much extra cash to add new styles to your wardrobe this season, what are some ways to still look great?

TF: [Try thrift stores!] Crossroads is a good one. And of course, Wasteland. You can trade the clothes from your closet that you aren’t into anymore for new pieces. It’s fun to trade your old for something new! I am a big fan of buying thrift clothes or ‘new to me’ clothes. It spices up your closet without having to spend a ton of money.

tFS: What are some of your favorite budget-friendly brands?

TF: Every girl LOVES Forever 21, Topshop and H&M. The trick to shopping at these stores is not to buy too much pattern. You want the allure of people not knowing exactly where you purchased your goods. They love the look… but aren’t exactly sure where you bought it. Stick with solids, layers, pops of color and small prints, and keep people guessing on how you look so good on a budget.
