Like most college women, I love fashion, but I hate spending the money.

It’s especially important to buy more inexpensive items when our weather goes from short sundresses one day, to Uggs and sweaters the next.

Fortunately for me, I can indulge in my shopping addiction while spending the least amount of money as possible, and I am going to share my shopping secrets with you in order to maximize your style while minimizing the costs.

Everyone loves Forever 21, but sometimes going into that store can be overwhelming, and you can’t quite find what you are looking for, let alone the best deals. That is why my secret weapon is Forever21.com. Well, more like my weakness.

It is so convenient, and you don’t have to sift through racks and piles of clothing. My favorite part of Forever21.com is the “Fabulous Finds.”

Do you know how many cute sundresses and skirts, they have on there below $20? You can get all your staple shirts as well, like solid tanks, tees and zip-ups.

Since we live where it’s warm enough, we can get our winter coats at Forever 21. It isn’t like we need them for a rough winter, but just to throw on whenever that cold front moves through.

The best part is there’s free shipping on orders over $75.

UrbanOutfitters.com is my next stop. First, their clothes are undeniably trendy and chic. Some people think it’s a bit too expensive, but, like any good store, Urban Outfitters offers sales that will have you wanting to buy out their entire stock.

Right now they have a deal going on with many of their dresses on sale for $39. Even better than that, I just bought three new dresses each for under $20.

Once again, we are lucky that we live in Florida because all the summer stuff will continually be on sale through the fall. Urban’s sale section is broken up by price: $9.99, $14.99, $19.99, and $29.99.

They have hundreds of clothing items, shoes and accessories in all three price categories. The best part of Urbanoutfitters.com is that the customers rank the clothing items and describe what they like about them, and what they don’t like.

It makes shopping online so much easier and more convenient. I have ordered dozens of items from Urban and have never had to return an item.

I highly suggest this website for any apparel or shoes you are looking for. The final website that I adore doesn’t sell clothing, shoes or accessories.

It isn’t a store you can visit, and you can’t buy anything directly off of it, but it is by far my favorite website. Bradsdeals.com will change your shopping habits forever.

The website is updated whenever a new sale or coupon becomes available.

Currently, on the website homepage is a 20 percent off sale at Sephora, Amazon magazine subscriptions from $4, a deal for women’s Nike sneakers from $24, and Kate Spade bags 85 percent off plus free shipping, to name a few.

There are 3,072 coupons and 272 handpicked deals for 1,175 stores on this site right now.

My mom always says, “never buy anything until you’ve checked Bradsdeals,” and as always, mother knows best.

So, keep your college budget in check by shopping at these three websites before hitting the mall.
