Besides the stylish under $100 coats that I love from Shopmamie, I also found these 2 Under $50 chic dresses that we could wear for the upcoming Holidays.
A ruffled one-shoulder patterned dress for only $42. The one-should trend is quite huge this year and it’s with good reason. There is a combination of sexy and stunning vibes that you get from the on-shoulder because the small peak of skin from the exposed area invokes mystery. The latter is always sexy. This patterned dress has an elastic waist that flatters the body. A pair of black pumps, stilettos, …read more

I once said that I’m not for Animal-Print Dresses. It’s just too much for me. Well, that was on July of this year. This Karen Kane Animal Print Dress changed my mind.
I like the subtlety of the animal print combined with the black. I also like the long full sleeves. I can wear this with brown tights underneath and brown boots. Another fashion tip of the day, I wouldn’t wear my animal-print heels with this dress. Coz then that would be uber-animal print everywhere .
This Karen Kane Animal-Print dress is on sale for $64.80 at Dillard’s. …read more

Here’s a great sale from Chadwick’s with this Olive Green Crochet-Waist knit dress. It used to be $49.99 but you can have it for $16.99 Sleeveless for Fall? Well yes.

Tropical storm Hannah just passed us by. My front screen door is not totally useless. Rain is still here making pitter patter noise in my roof though. What to do in this cozy rainy day? Well virtual shopping of course. I’m in my “I want this dress I can’t really afford and if even so, I wouldn’t buy it” mood. I’m wishing for this Yoana Baraschi Abstract Floral Dress.
I love the 3/4 balloon sleeves, the length is perfect, and the color of the abstract print makes the gray color pop. I’d wear this with knee-high boots or tights …read more

A few months ago I found a wide velvet belt with gold studs trim and woven metal ring buckle for $3.99 at the PX. Coincidentally, a friend of mine bought the exact same thing. But she had a dilemma. She didn’t know what to wear it with. I told her not to worry coz I’d help her out. I suggested this ensemble:
Wear it with a shirt dress. I’ll show you how sometime . It’s a good ensemble for Fall. Shirt dress with wide belt and knee-high boots. Trust Me
If you could please just ignore my …read more

5 days later, I write the follow-up to my Fall Footwear evolution. I apologize profusely. I’ve been sidetracked by the 2007 Emmy’s Fashion. Without further adieu, here’s the continuation….
With age comes sophistication. This is probably why in my late 20’s I’ve evolved from my mid-calf chunky boots to sleek stacked knee-high boots during Fall and Winter season. Let me show you how I wear my knee-high boots.
Brown Faux suede square-toe knee-high boots($30, PAYLESS) with brown pleated bubbles print skirt, dark brown mini-button long sleeves blazer over a green crinkle cami.
Black faux suede round-toe knee high boots($30, PAYLESS) with a …read more

A black Halogen Dress shirt on sale for $28.90 from it’s original price of $98 from Nordstrom’s Under $30 bin. A definitely must have for my Fall ensembles. Imagine me or yourself in it with a black knee-high boots. I love the chest pockets, the button tap sleeves and the tie-belt details. It doesn’t look like the fabric will protect you from cold weather but I’m sure it’s fine for the slight breeze on the early Fall.
