Thrifty threads: $75 or less

High fashion is sometimes unattainable for an average college student. For most students, living on a budget is a reality, and being stylish is mostly what one can find in the closet half an hour before class.

In Austin, being fashionable is not necessarily about how much money a student has, but how creative the student can get with what they have.

Here are some styles from Buffalo Exchange for three different types of occasions: school, weekend, and evenings. And with prices under $75, it's almost too good to be true.
