Pet owners spend up to $2,000 a year on their dogs on everything from food to toys and treats. Even the humble dog collar can cost $25 to $35. But just as you can save money by buying pet food in bulk and getting your pet vaccinated to prevent a series illness, the same goes for stylish touches like a sparkly collar for your pooch.

In the third episode of Bougie Budget, "Looking Bougie," we'll show you how to make a rhinestone dog collar for just $8. And if you're looking for ways to upgrade your own personal style without paying retail, we've got ideas for how to do that too—from shopping sample sales for designer duds to getting a professional-quality makeover from a cosmetic school.
