New Muslim (nearly) Help

Assalamu alaykoum! I am a 20 year old girl from Canada and I have recently discovered the beautiful religion of Islam! There are too many things to name that has brought me to this religion, one of them being the sense of community, which is why I feel comfortable asking these questions.
As being a student and living alone I don't have a lot of money, when i convert I hope to eventually wear hijab, although I cannot afford a new modest wardrobe. Does anyone know of any cheap sites or any other means?
This would mean a lot to me thank you very much and salam !

BTW have you taken the Shahada?

Welcome Sis,
You can find good Muslim clothes by shopping at places that cater to women of size or women of a certain age.  "Swimsuit cover-ups" make fine blouses and scarves: just avoid rayon/modal because it is high maintenance and cheap-looking.  Remember that "ready-made" is a modern invention.  Be prepared to customize your purchases to your size with needle and thread, elastic, snaps, etc.  Know yourself.  Are you an urban sophisticate?  A down-home country girl?  Urban nomad?  A romantic?  Buy wisely: some thought should go into how you present yourself because dress is a form of communication.  All you need are a few good pieces, and you may find that you already have them. You may end up just giving away a lot of stuff that doesn't fit the bill.

SA to all sisters,
i feel I did not express my point accurately.  i did not intend to say that the sister needs to follow "fashion". Taste, however, is important.  There is evidence that the Mothers of the Believers took care of their appearances without going out and making a spectacle of themselves or violating the tenets of the faith.  What I am trying to tell the sister is that she can stay true to herself, and actually have a smaller wardrobe of clothes, by keeping the clothing she already has that is modest and then buying a few judicious things to add to it so that she fulfills the requirements of the faith.
