For some odd reason many believe that in order to look good you have to spend outrageous amounts of money which IS NOT the case. I don't understand why people have that thought instilled in their thought process. There is nothing wrong with purchasing pieces from Ralph Lauren, J.Crew, or Brooks Brothers, but remember you have other options. Everyone can't afford to purchase popular name brands, you can be dapper for under 50 dollars, and I'm here to tell you how you can make it happen. People look at me with shock when I tell them I'm a big fan of this thing I like to call "Thrifting". Thrifting is shopping through Thrift Stores for example I reside in Charlotte, North Carolina where there are plenty of Thrift Stores like Value Village and Goodwill. I've purchased blazers, ties, sweaters, and button downs all for amazingly low prices, I've purchased blazers for $3 and ties for $1.25 and you can have the same success with the right amount of patience. When thrifting it takes patience nothing jumps out and says "Here I Am !" you have to go through and take your time. I'm thankful to have learned from the best in Ryan Jor El who is a Wardrobe Consultant with Styles by Privilege. Remember people you can find good quality clothing when thrifting, I've found Saks Fifth and Christian Dior in Value Village and the same can happen for you.
