About The Budget Babe
"Fab Without A Fortune"
The Budget Babe is a fashion blog for style-conscious women everywhere who are looking to stretch their wardrobe dollars.
Each day, we show you what to buy and how to wear it, keeping you fashionably on-trend for less.
The Budget Babe reader loves fashion in all its forms and is well-versed in the latest visions from the runway. She's all about mixing high and low, investing in pieces she'll love for years while saving on passing trends (flatforms, anyone?).
When this blog was born 11 years ago, budget fashion was still taboo in the industry. Now, fashion bloggers sit front row at Marc Jacobs and Missoni is collaborating with Target. Le cheap, c'est chic has never been truer.
At the same time, luxury markets are booming. This fact suggests there's a niche for everyone in the fashion ecosystem (except for fakes, those are never in fashion.)
Budget fashion keeps things exciting, builds brand awareness and pushes the limits of fashion design. We're driven by new fashion trends and new ways to discuss them - and our reader is in integral part of that exciting dialogue.
Oh. And did we mention fashion is just plain fun? Let us be the guilty pleasure you don't really have to feel guilty about. —BB

What People Are Saying About The Budget Babe...

"Shhh…this is how I get all of my outfits that look hot for a cheaper price! Love BB!" —Moni @ CL Journal

"I just had to tell you, I spend so much time on your website. Your creativity is amazing!! Thank you for making fashion so fun (and affordable!)" —khalela via Instagram
"I have loved your dress by number posts and implemented many of these ideas just because of financial reasons and using what I have and making it work. Since I have been following your blog I have received so many compliments on my style and fashion sense. It really cracks me up, because I am just using what I have and trying to be inspired by the looks you post. It has been such a great experience I have even been asked to take people shopping and help them. This has meant so much, especially since I work with teens and they appreciate an "older" person who appreciates fashion. I really owe it all to you! THANK YOU BUDGET BABE!!! And thanks for this post to help fill in more of the blanks." —Danielle via the comments
"You absolutely do inspire me and make me realize that I can attain my fashion ideals without going into credit card debt. I've learned to think my outfits through, how to make pieces work in multiple situations and bought a number of your lookalikes! Thank you for what you do!" —Kate via the comments
"I wanted to reach out and let you know how much I've enjoyed keeping up with you at The Budget Babe over the last few months. You've challenged my ideas and have completely made me rethink fashion. You're putting out an amazing product and I'm so happy to have found The Budget Babe. Thanks a million for all you do." —Shannon K.
