‘Ladies, help! I’m going to a wedding in April that goes from day to evening so it could be both hot and cold but it is indoors so that shouldn’t matter too much. There will be dancing so I have to be able to move. Here’s the thing, I have no money and need to pull something amazing out (and hair ideas and makeup ideas). What can you do for me?’

Hi Gen,

Thanks for writing into us. Bec and Cat seem to have covered the bases of thrift shops and swapping clothes so I’m going to save you some reading and not repeat what they have already said.

I am going to take a more ‘build on what you’ve got’ approach and help you out with some cheap fixes from first hand stores (although, I definitely think you should go second hand for your handbag!)

Another style challenge. I love these!

Now as you are on limited time and budget these are definitely things I’m going to take into consideration today! I think you are going to get some similar responses from us ladies 😉

Borrow

Don’t be afraid to ask friends if you can borrow a dress or accessories for the day. It’s going to save you a lot of money! I have on occasion purchased something for a specific event which I haven’t ever worn again.. It leads me to either sell it or have it disappear into my cupboard and not see the light of day for months, or even years! EEEKKKK!

Knowing a little of your background and some of the activities you part take in, DANCING, I’m hoping some of your friends have something you could potentially borrow. Being friends I’m sure they would see the situation you are in and be more then willing to help you out.

The multi-talented and super cute Gen got in touch with us with the following request:

Bec’s Response

Hey Gen,

Unfortunately you don’t really have the time to wait for dresses to be shipped to you because normally I would say the best way to grab a bargain would be to hit the net and let your fingers do the walking. There are a few Australian retailers that may be able to ship something to you in time so check out online stores for your favourite dress shops and see if they have an e-store offering discounts (sometimes these are better than the in store prices) and if you can get things delivered in time. Myer and David Jones are other options but their prices are a little high.
