The following blog is by Brittney Castro originally published in Brittney Castro’s Blog – Financially Wise Women.

Picture this: you’re out shopping when you see a beautiful, can’t-live-without-it handbag (or top, or pair of shoes). The price is way outside your budget, but it’s so on-trend and beautiful that you decide to hand over your credit card and splurge—only to have buyer’s remorse a few days later.

Trust me, we’ve all been there—myself included! As women, we always want to look our best—and let’s be honest, shopping is fun. But there’s a way to do it without breaking the bank.

And in this week’s Financially Wise Living video, Audrey Leoncio, co-founder of The Dress Movement, shows us how. In it, we’ll go inside Audrey’s downtown L.A. studio, where she’ll show us her picks for beautiful, affordable outfits that aren’t budget busters.

And don’t forget: working with a financial planner can help you create a smart budgeting system that will help you live the life of your dreams—shopping included! To find out more, schedule a free Discovery session with me today. I look forward to talking to you.

Love and success,

Brittney
