If you are looking for expensive clothing for less or just trying to fit some designer names in your closet, not to worry about your budget, there are tons of ways to look like a million dollars without having to crack open your piggy bank.

Take a look at your closet and jewelry box, there are probably a million things you can update for obtaining that fresh new look, you just think it is outdated, but for some reason it still remains hidden between your possessions, don't you think? You can join an old necklace to a new one and wear them together by framing them, this is an old trick in the book, used for centuries for women who want to look like a million dollars or look like models on a runway. You will be surprised at the variety of combinations that can be born out of this.

If you want to make people to look at you, since remember, you appear to be a million bucks, using Odd numbers in your accessories is also a well known secret amongst the industry, Even numbers are for bland people that don't really like to make a scene, Odd numbers work well for attracting the eye, so wear bracelets in groups of three or five. You can always wear only one, making it be, by itself, the center of attention in your outfit.

The first step to looking like a million dollars is not anything extravagant; on the contrary, it starts with a classic fashion item, like jeans or jackets in black, white, blue or natural earth tones. Classic still is translated to contemporary; we all have classic pieces in our closets that work either for day or night. You can wear the same pair of jeans every day, by adding different accessories and trendy tops you are ready to go, of course, it all depends if those jeans have the quality and cut that suits your body.

For your next shopping, if you are on a budget but still want to look like a million dollars, it all depends where you buy. There are zillions of retailers targeted for bargain-hunters, these people are used to paying a lot for designer clothes and accessories at discount stores, they pay less for more. Consumers find fabulous designer wear at ridiculously reduced prices, remember, trends come and go and sometimes it's not worth to spend so much money on something you will always wear once.

There are also other retailers like Gap, Banana Republic, Zara, H&M, and Anne Taylor Loft that offer their own lines of basics for that classic contemporary look that never goes out of style. Combine that classic pencil skirt with your best accessory, your trendiest new top (that didn't really cost that much), and those new boots you were dying to show off to your friends. You will be the center of attention, and everybody will ask you where everything is from.
