I like Liliana Vasquez’ style. Not just her sartorial sense, but her common sense. Here are a couple of examples of the blogger and author’s advice:
“Labels don’t define us – they’re just little pieces of cloth that tell you how to take care of your garment.”
“Remember: Style can’t be bought. It comes from confidence and creativity.”
“Age is nothing but a number, but our style has to evolve as we get older whether we like it or not.”
“You don’t have to adhere completely to the fashion world’s rules to curate your own style.”
Vazquez, who blogs at The Cheap Chica’s Guide to Style, from her smart, practical and, yes, thrifty advice. “The Cheap Chica’s Guide to Style: Secrets to Shopping Cheap and Looking Chic” is this week’s giveaway.
According to publisher Gotham Books (a division of Penguin Group USA), the book is aimed at any woman “who wants to dress like a better, more fashionable version of herself without compromising her lifestyle or her budget.”
It’s a fun read and full of useful tips that Vazquez promises will help you “shop smart and dress like you give a damn.”

I could use any advice I can get. I love to dress like I care but the budget is a priority. New ideas would be welcomed with open arms!!
“Remember: Style can’t be bought. It comes from confidence and creativity.” LOVE this!
Can definitely use some trips and tricks for style on a budget!
As a 50ish SAH mom, I usually dress like I don’t give a damn. My almost-12-yr-old daughter should read this, but she probably won’t. I might try steering her to the blog, though. Thanks for the chance.
This sounds like the book for me!
I could soooo use this book! I’m in my late 50s and need some help looking hip but not idiotic. I hope I win it!! Thanks for the opportunity to enter the drawing.
