GLAM SHOPPING BEAT: How to Channel Whatever Fashion Mood You're in Without Going to the Poorhouse. FASHIONTRIBES FASHION BLOG

Glam Shopping Beat column for the week of 3/26/07 - by Lesley Scott:

While it's nice to invest in wardrobe pieces you'll "wear forever", why not give into the fantasy element of fashion every once in a while and simply dress to suit your mood?

By shopping at fast-fashion joints like Zara, Target or ASOS that render right-off-the-runway looks on a real person's budget, it's possible to channel a groovy 70s bohemian one day, a space age shift-clad hipster from 60s the next, and then go for broke as a hard glamour 80s disco diva - all without dinging your credit rating. And because you didn't splurge excessively, when you're done, you can donate or give the clothes away without feeling guilty.

Some options for looking runway-ready for less:
