Personal Style Doesn't Have to Cost a Pretty Penny
A new year and new looks go hand in hand. As the winter awards season begins, stars aren’t the only ones looking for fresh fashions and red-carpet looks. Whether or not you have deep pockets this year, you too can join the trendy fun.

Online Resources
Whether you’re still searching for your personal style or simply want to update your look for 2013, there are plenty of online resources available to help. A quick quiz on StyleMint will help you find your fashion niche and point you toward vogue outfits and accessories you’re sure to love. Once you choose a few basics, move on to sites like Stella & Dot and ShoeDazzle to discover the hottest designs in jewelry and shoes for affordable prices. You can even save more money by hosting a Stella & Dot trunk show to earn great rewards. Your skin is a valuable accessory too, so be sure to keep it looking fresh with cosmetics from places like Birchbox.

Retail Outlets
Sometimes the best shopping experience is in person. For retail options that won’t break the bank, try a trip to the outlet mall. Outlet stores for retailers such as H&M and Forever 21 both offer fabulous designs at low prices while still providing quality products and services.

DIY Accessories
Accessories are a great way to revitalize your look without spending a lot of money. This season, well-crafted handmade accessories are particularly popular. Search for ideas online. Places such as Pinterest have a wealth of photos and instructions for projects sure to add flair to your fashion.

You don’t have to have a movie star’s budget to get hot new looks for the New Year. Spend a little time shopping and add a little ingenuity to find great looks for less. Turning heads has never been this easy.
