Seventeen’s got the scoop on how to save for your summer and
back-to-school seasons. Check out this list of tips from fashion expert
Mimi Nuelle…

1) Research is Rewarding! Use the Internet to price
compare. Make a note of the style name you have your eye on. Do a quick
search and see if you can buy it elsewhere for less. Overstock.com carries many of the same items you see at malls and in stores for a fraction of the price.

2) Buy in the Off-Season: Many trends stay the same from one year to the next. Take advantage of
end-of-season sales by buying key items like riding boots or strappy
sandals deeply discounted in the off-season. Before you know it you’ll
be able to bring them out of your closet.
