DIY or MORE DASH THAN CASH dilemma

I red this days a lot of over enthusiastic advises and articles about saving money & in this same time having FAB & FAB LOOK.
Even Vogue flows with short cuts & economy speach /but NOT pictures & publicity so it is VERY lie 2 myself at the end/.
?????
Really?
DIY (do it yourself) in my case is suisidal idea. I'm more in to IMPROVEMENT- IIY.
Mixing and matching nothing from the scratch!!!
Good materials for creating are expensive so The Saving Madness is lost in process.
Vogue slogan "more dash than cash" is so true in so many cases BUT not always!
I like spending money but even more I like having money for MORE SHOPPING.
I know!- crazy/necessary!!!! That is why I do shop in secondhands/flea markets/friends closets/sales etc.
Sadly you can not go head to toes in secondhand without drollLOOK. You have to update & uplift with some gooOOood accessories or some core piece.
So sometimes I'm in position to look for 300PLN/OR MORE update for my 5PLN dress.
Finally I'm spending more than I would cash out in boutique. Only plus- you are outstanding! Mais... It is NOT NOT NOT chip at the end.
Dash is priceless. You are born/or not with style.
But being dress up only IN STYLE is a little bit cold after all... especially in this season!
Think clearly!
