"The Hills" Fashion on a Budget
"It really bums me out that I can't afford the trendy stuff that I see on TV, and everything that my friends are wearing because it's too expensive," says Katie, a high school senior who works after school. She dreads back-to-school shopping because most of the time the things she wants are too expensive. "I do sometimes feel embarrassed that I'm wearing the same stuff as last year," Katie admits, "because everybody else has new clothes."
Rachael surprises Katie by sending The Hills' fashionista Whitney Port to show her how to get trendy looks for less. First, Whitney says that Katie needs to focus on the items she really needs. "When you're trying to shop on a budget, you have to really think about what your closet is missing," she explains, suggesting that every woman needs a good pair of jeans, a black dress and a white tank. "Not everything has to be a designer label, you can find things anywhere," Whitney says, who takes Katie to stores like H&M and Forever 21.
