Hey girls! Your girl Chika here, spilling the tea on how to look like a million bucks without spending it. Let's dive into some game-changing tips that'll have you serving classy looks on a budget.

First up, let's talk wardrobe basics. Neutral colors are your best friend – they mix and match like a dream. And trust me, fit is everything. Don't sleep on thrift stores and consignment shops for designer steals!

Now, accessories. A pair of pearl earrings or a delicate necklace can transform your look. And don't get me started on a quality belt or scarf – instant elevation! Oh, and a classy watch? Chef's kiss.

Grooming is non-negotiable, babes. Consistency is key with skincare. I've got the scoop on affordable dupes that work just as well as the pricey stuff. For hair, think elegant simplicity – low buns and sleek ponytails are your go-to.

Let's talk posture and body language. Stand tall, move with intention, and master that warm, confident eye contact. It's giving "I've got my life together" vibes.

Your signature scent? Layer it for staying power. Apply to pulse points and thank me later. There are some budget-friendly options out there that smell expensive – I'll share my faves.

Don't forget your shoes and bags! I've got DIY cleaning hacks that'll keep them looking fresh. Trust me, polished shoes can make or break an outfit.

Bonus tip: Develop that classy mindset. Never stop learning, maybe pick up a classic novel or a new skill. And always, always be kind – it's the classiest move of all.

Remember, start small and build. True class? It's all about what's on the inside.
