Feeling Pretty W/ My Brown Floral Smocked Tube Top

Dexie Wharton — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 20:05:26 +0000

I’m really starting to like CATO a lot. I’ve bought a lot of stylish clothes from there lately in very affordable prices might I add. First was the white cropped pants which I bought for only $12.99, the white eyelet summer dress which was on sale for $13.99, and then the dark blue MOD fitted blouse for only $7.99. Now here’s another one(among others) I dug out of their clearance rack the other day. This brown floral smocked tube top that actually ties on the back was only $4.99. I wore this yesterday and I felt so pretty I didn’t wanna touch raw chicken to cook for dinner. LOL. Whuuut? My husband didn’t see what I had in the bag when I went shopping actually so when he got home from work yesterday he was like, “oh niice, is that new? Errrr, yeah??? . Anyhoo, I wore it with my low-rise Levi’s jeans and barefoot since we didn’t go anywhere yesterday. Just lounged around the house with my pretty new smocked tube top .

If you noticed in the last picture, I broke the “fashion rule” by not wearing any necklace. I just didn’t feel like it. I thought going bare was much better. Besides, I’m always breaking “rules” anyway which is MY fashion rule.

What do you think? Should I stop breaking the fashion rules?

T.J. Maxx Fall 2007 Fashion Guide

You can not be a bargain fashionista without encountering T.J. Maxx in your vocabulary. Your Style It Less fashionista is certainly a T.J. Maxx shopper. This store which always has good deals has put out a 2007 Fall Fashion Guide. There are 5 Must Have for this approaching Autumn season. And they are:

# A cropped jacket with lots of swing in a menswear tweed or even plaid!
# A knit dress: especially in grey.
# A dress, sweater or blouse with an interesting sleeve.
# A top with a feminine collar, bow tie, cowl neck or turtleneck.
# A structured frame bag; embossed or patent leather.

Furthermore, menswear adds touches of feminine sophistication this year. Suits look are quite a must have once Autumn Equinox rolls down apparently. Coincidentally, this is the direction I have seen myself going these days. I’ve been building up my trouser selection which is why I bought a black pintriped pants and a brown trouser so far. And the tailored MOD inspired classic blouses like the polka-dot blouse and BITTEN pink poplin blouse that I’ve bought recently. Wait ’till you see the 2 blouses and plaid skirt I bought last weekend to get me ready for Fall. After reading TJ Maxx’s guide, I think I’ve navigated towards the right direction .
