Style

Look Hot in Your Spandex and Cape

Or, you know, regular clothes. You may not be raking it in, but you can still look like a million bucks.

• Throw a swap party - host a BYOB swap party with friends (make sure to invite whoever's outfits you covet).
• Raid closets - check Mom's and Grandma's closets for snazzy vintage duds you can steal - or borrow from a stylish friend.
• Fix clothes you've got - take a few of your extra minutes to stitch a ripped seam or reattach a button to put stuff you already have back into commission (also a great time to fish for missing socks behind the dryer). Or if you're seam-ingly challenged (or want to rework something completely), hit up a tailor instead - it's still a thriftier and more eco option than buying new.
• Bag Borrow or Steal - rent designer handbags, jewelry, sunglasses, and even watches from $25 a month.
• Get a cheap 'do - look up an eco-friendlier beauty school near you like Aveda. Student cuts and colors are way cheaper, and there's a pro looking over their shoulder. Same goes for dental school if you need a cleaning.
• Work out, outdoors - quit the AC-blasting, music-blaring gym, and stay fit by taking it outside or hitting a hiking trail - it's free, and going treadmill-less saves loads of electricity.
