Spring break is quickly approaching, and students throughout campus are thinking about where they are going and what they are going to do with their much-needed time off.
With the recession bearing down upon the nation and a general lack of extra spending cash, you had to dig in the couch cushions and your roommate's piggy bank just to scrounge up enough nickels and dimes for that perfect spring break trip.
Now, whether you stay in Fort Collins or jump in the car with four of your closest friends and drive cross-country until the gas runs out, you'll need a new outfit.
Well we've got you covered, and all for about $20. With these great bargain deals, you won't feel any guilt.
Vail: You're heading up to Vail for the week but the trip is going to clear your pockets out completely. After scrounging up some extra cash for lift tickets and a place to stay, you still need an outfit to hit the slopes. And we've got just that. This jacket, snow pants and gloves can be yours for $22. Now you'll look like an expert (even if you're on bunny hills all day).
Fort Collins: Instead of heading out on an elaborate trip, you're staying in Fort Collins to save some much needed money. You decide to head out for a night in Old Town but you have nothing to wear and you're strapped for cash. This outfit is the perfect fix. The sophisticated yet flirty top is perfect for a club. Paired with some dark jeans, ballet flats and a gold necklace, you're ready for a night out, all for $17.

This vibrant orange swimsuit will draw the attention the attention of all the cute surfer boys. Paired with a fun beach hat and some sunglasses, all eyes will be on you.
Road Trip: You have no idea where to go, but you want to get far away from here. So you decide that a road trip in your friend's beat up old VW bus is the perfect way to go. With gas prices on the rise once again you'll need a cheap outfit, say $20, that doesn't skimp on comfort. With a casual T-shirt sporting your favorite university, light jeans and Nike sneakers, you're ready to hit the road in style.
