Did you hear the one about the Miami-based social media influencer who went heavily into debt because she never wanted to be photographed in the same outfit twice?
The story went viral recently when the young woman wrote about the great lengths she went to — and money she spent — in order to be photographed carrying the latest “it” bag or wearing a to-die for pair of shoes. As Instagram-obsessed as she was, the woman finally faced the sobering reality her fashion obsession was ruining her financially.
But there’s good news for fashion-forward Vancouverites already struggling to pay their exorbitant rents. The new spring line from discount fashion retailers Winners and Marshalls shows you really can look on trend, without the heavy credit card bill. It's easy to look effortlessly chic when many pieces in the collection are specially marked to show they're $50 or less or $30 or less.
Here’s a sneak peek at some of highlights of their spring collections:
Fabulous florals
Everything’s coming up roses and daisies and orchids. And from flowing robes to a small detail on a shoe or bag to a blooming button down, there’s a floral piece for everyone. Sheer, breezy dresses with botanical prints are also an essential this spring.
