Bougie on a Budget: College Girl Edition
You don’t need a trust fund to live your soft girl dreams — here’s how I’m staying bougie on a budget as a college student:
- Amazon jewelry that looks designer but costs less than $20
- Group fitness classes at the campus rec center — pilates, spin, yoga… for FREE
- $12 wine tastings at Cooper’s Hawk — yes, I’ll take the luxe rosé flight
It’s not about how much you spend — it’s how you style it, sip it, and serve it.
