I Have Mastered The Art Of Being Boujee On A Budget

As a college student, I know I can't afford Gucci or Louis Vuitton but that doesn't stop me from looking like I can!

I Have Mastered The Art Of Being Boujee On A Budget

Growing up, I have always had a shopping addiction that has taken over my bank account and gotten me close to $0.00. The day that actually happens will be the time that I ultimately hit rock bottom and someone needs to take my debit card away for me ASAP. In the society we live in today, everyone wears designer, Gucci sneakers and all, and walks around flexing on everyone. That is not the life that my bank account allows me to live. For me, my life revolves around finding cheap places or buying knockoff brands in hopes that people do not realize I am as fake as a Sweet and Low.

In my years of online shopping and finding places that do not make my wallet cry, I have come across many normal and also not very popular websites that have me looking bangin' on a budget. Sometimes it is as easy as typing in "knockoff Gucci slides" and searching as deep as you can go to find similar ones that make it look like you just spent $400. For the people that just want inspiration, the simpler route is getting your inspiration and the logging into your Forever 21 account and searching for shorts and shirts that give you the best match and call it a day.

BUT, for the people that want to look like they have money falling off trees then this is exactly what you need to do. I am someone who thrives off of looking like she is designer everything when in reality I am nowhere near being able to afford anything that I wish was on my body head to toe. The trick is......AMAZON. I kid you not Amazon has the best knockoff designer, boujee brands that you will look like you already have a multimillion paid job. Yes, people may be able to spy that it is fake but they need to be staring right up at your belt buckle in order to determine whether it is fake or not. I recently bought myself a fake Gucci belt and I am telling you, no one can tell that it is fake except someone who clearly knows their Gucci and can distinguish and color change. Also, it was only $25 dollars as opposed to $450. I mean, how is that not a steal? You are saving an immense amount of money on something that looks almost exactly the same as the real product and your bank account is not in tears. Another thing, that I recently purchased off of Amazon was a Cartier knockoff ring and that piece of jewelry looks so real and does not make my finger green. If I am being honest with you, I almost believed it was real considering it has the brand name actually on the inside of the ring. I know the rings are very expensive so I am not going to give that outrageous price and tell you that I got mine for only $14. A STEAL!

I hope after reading this you can tell that it is very possible to look bad and boujee, wearing your designer clothes, that really are not designer. There is always a trick to dressing the best that you can dress every day. Start surfing the web and find that Chanel knockoff version of the purse you have always wanted. No one will know it is fake unless they are all up in your grill! For those of you who go to my school, I hope you are on campus to see me in my fake Gucci belt and for my sake, just pretend it is real!

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
