Sometimes it can be hard keeping up with all of these new fashion trends… they just keep on coming! It can be exhausting trying to manage what to wear and on top of all that following all of these trends- this all can be insanely tricky especially for those of us who got bills to pay!
Luckily today I got a visual guide for you & tips on how you can stay on trend right now without breaking the bank! I feel these looks and items can be easily achieved/purchased- and you don’t even have to spend that much which is always a plus. I personally like looking stylish BUT on a budget- and that’s what I’m going to try to help you guys out with today in this post!
These are some trends I’ve been seeing a lot lately and have actually been incorporating into my wardrobe this past summer, and thought that these pictures would be helpful to you in terms of putting outfits together and coordinating specific pieces that incorporate these trends into YOUR daily summer 2018 fashion routine!
Listed below I will also be including affordable options because a lot of these items aren’t for sale anymore unfortunately. I’ve also added an extra special tip below the visual guide on how I like to ball on a budget, especially in this ever-changing environment we call fashion…

So what do you guys think?
Have you been keeping up with these trends?
MY #1 TIP ON HOW TO KEEP UP WITH TRENDS ON A BUDGET…
When it comes to trendy items, I usually don’t like to splurge too much on them because of the fact that they’re trends– they go as quickly as they come! So if I don’t find anything in-store or online at any of the places I like to shop at (WITH THE USE OF EBATES AND COUPONS BTW!), I like to head over to Value Village or any other thrift store where I can find these trends for way less than what I would pay in a regular store! Thrifting is my all-time favourite way to keep up with trends because it doesn’t hurt the wallet, and you can find some great pieces that are unique and that others won’t have! The red polka-dot shirt in the pictures above was actually from Value Village and it only cost me C$4.99! SUCH A STEAL!
Hope you enjoyed the post loves.
Let me know other ways that you like to grab trendy items.
I would love to know!
Great post! I’ve been seeing these trends all summer too. I totally agree- i don’t like to spend money on trend pieces. save that for your investment pieces!
