It is my firm belief that anyone in Second Life can be fashionable for only a small amount of Linden or even none at all if you know how to do it right.
I would also like to point out that while my blog leans more towards free, cheap or oldie but goodies... I myself do enjoy a good shopping spree. By designers being so generous to offer free, cheap or group gifts in their stores it enables me to decide if it's the type of place I would want to spend my hard earned lindens. Please, please keep that in mind when you stop into a store that I've mentioned a goody is from, take a look around you might find something amazing!
With that being said, I've put together a list of places that I know are helpful to those of us on a budget. There are of course places like 'Freebie Dungeon' or 'Freebie Island' but I do believe in high quality! If you know of a place you'd like to see added, just let me know!

Many stores are offering paid groups now. I recommend choosing some you like and joining them. Most that require a payment are very generous with their gifts! Even the still free ones are great at offering deals and steals. Know what you like and stick to it. It generally pays in the long run and can lead you to finding some amazing designers!
