Attention all fashionistas! It’s a blog! It’s a book! It’s a blast! With B*tches on a Budget, sassy women everywhere are being reminded they can ~ and should ~ live lavish, stylish lives without breaking the bank and still having oodles of fun. The novel’s author, Rosalyn Hoffman, provides her readers with witty advice about how to score a hot deal while embracing your inner b*tch at the same time (and, although the fashion section is of course our fave, there are other must-read sections like shopping & entertainment, beauty & grooming [shhhh…even plastic surgery], food & spirits, health & fitness, and design & décor ~ oh yes, Rosalyn believes in letting the b*tchiness into all facets of our lives!).
According to Hoffman and the staff of “B*tches,” being a b*tch who hunts for a bargain is far from a bad thing. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. It simply entails knowing your self-worth and treating yourself to those discounted designer boots after a rotten day at work or splurging on that killer black dress you know makes your rump look absolutely luscious because you deserve to feel better and get what you want, if only for the moment. In this case, the b*tches believe allowing yourself to get off on the simple things in life can turn any miserable day into an awesome evening, and you into a happier honey.
If you visit the web site at bitchesonabudget.com/ and check out the shopping section, you will see the key factor to being a fierce female is having a dy-no-mite wardrobe. One blog suggests owning multiple classic pieces of clothing ~ including the pair of bodacious boots and that black dress that makes your bum look yummy ~ will make any closet complete. Also on the list were preppy pieces like khakis colored slacks and a navy blue blazer, basic cover-ups like a jean jacket and a cashmere sweater, and sexy items including a party dress and X-rated lingerie. The b*tches explain that owning these articles of clothing will allow you to mix and match like the creative minx that you are, giving you a more versatile wardrobe and putting a big smile on your face (and, if you team the party dress with the lingerie, perhaps on someone else’s face, too!).
But, remember: being a true b*tch means you aren’t above shopping at Target or buying things that are on sale. It means you love getting the best prices your money can buy. So, whether you’re rocking ballerina flats or stilettos, don’t forget to strut it like you mean it and never forget to be a B*tch on a Budget.
