Fall Look For Less : Printed Drindl Dress

Dexie Wharton — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 16:16:47 +0000

This beautiful drindl printed dress is a perfect example of a dress that could work for both Summer and Fall seasons. It all depends on the accessories and shoes that you’ll pair it with. Here is an example of how I would wear this printed dress for Fall season.

Fall Look For Less : Drindle Printed Dress & Booties

Printed Drindl Dress, $22.80

Black double buckle belt, $6.80

Sara Blakely Black Tights, $12

Qupid Ankle Boots, $23.99

Beaded Chiffon Necklace, $7.80

Pyramids bead bracelet, $8.80

Lace Overlay drop earrings, $3.80

You can opt not to wear the wide belt but I think it gives it that edgy look combined with the booties. What’s good with the latter is you could also wear it with other dresses or skirts this Fall so a pair like it would be a good investment for this Fall. I just bought one myself. It will be my first pair of booties and I am looking forward to wearing it this year. Especially with this kinds of dresses for sure.

By the way, the black tights seem expensive but that’s what’s available online right now and it’s already from Target. It’s still early in the Fall so the store don’t have them on their websites yet. I’m pretty sure you’ll have better luck finding affordable black or brown tights in-stores.

Look For Less : Trixxi Floral Maxi Dress

Dexie Wharton — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 19:25:57 +0000

I know we are slowly transitioning to Fall Fashion but I saw this Trixxi Floral Print Maxi dress and I just had to create a look out of it. Besides, Fall is still about 2 months away, heh. The dress is just too pretty and so affordable to pass up. Can you believe it’s only $15? Well, if you are a fan of the store where I found it, then yes, you’d believe it’s only $15.

Look For Less : Trixxi Floral Maxi Dress & Flats

Trixxi Floral Maxi Dress, $15

Bronze Rhinestone Flats, $9.99

Dangling round-bead necklace, $4.80

Polished Bangle Set, $4.80

Glittered Bangle Set, $3.80

Droplet Earrings, $3.80

I’m going to a Farmer’s Market this Saturday and I picture myself wearing this ensemble. A pretty casual outfit while shopping for organic vegetables and meat. How fun . I’m actually wearing a paisley print maxi dress tomorrow so in a way this is like the online version of what I would have wanted to wear for this food shopping adventure.

Look For Less : Seersucker Chiffon Dress

Dexie Wharton — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 15:05:17 +0000

I saw this gray chiffon dress at Forever21 yesterday and fell in love with it instantly. That dress evokes delicateness with chic and sophistication.

Look For Less : Seersucker Chiffon Dress & Heels

Seersucker Chiffon Dress, $22.80

Black Evening Heels, $22.99

Serpentine Earrings, $5.80

Expandable carnival cuff, $10.80

The knotted detailing on the side is stunning. I only added a touch of color in the cuff bracelet because I wanted to maintain the color the gray & black color scheme. Plus I would actually love a pop of bolder color in the handbag. So if I would wear this dress right now, a patent colored tote would be great. I am thinking either red, blue, burgundy, purple, yah know, somewhere along those color shades. A shimmering clutch would be perfect as well

I know that whatever purse you pick, you would look stunning in this chiffon wrap dress. A night out in town with your girlfriends or a date, perhaps?

Look For Less : Ruffled Chiffon Dress

Dexie Wharton — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:06:02 +0000

I love the white version of this JOHNNY MARTIN Ruffle Chiffon Dress but I decided to use the lavender color in this Look For Less outfit. Just for the sake of change. Hope you like it.

Look For Less : Ruffled Chiffon Dress & Gladiators

JOHNNY MARTIN Ruffle Chiffon Dress, $15 (Sizes 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 11)

Anne Michelle Black Gladiator Sandals, $25.99 (Sizes 6 to 10)

Stone drape necklace, $13.80

Rhinestone bracelet, $8.80

Faceted tear drop looks earrings, $2.80

The accessories and shoes should still work perfectly with the white color if you decide to pick that one. Either way, you’ll look fabulous in it. It’s feminine and refreshing, don’t you think?

Look For Less : Belted Garden Dress & Pumps

Dexie Wharton — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 13:49:05 +0000

I found this beautiful rose garden dress at Forever21 and I thought I’d make it even more beautiful by adding some accents to create a look for less ensemble. I have actually re-discovered my love for belts these past few weeks so this outfit turned into a belted dress.

Look For Less : Belted Garden Dress & Gladiator Pumps

Rose Garden Dress, $24.80

Black Wide Belt, $8.80

Black Gladiator Platform Pumps, $19.99

Multi Snake Chain Necklace, $6.80

Rhinestone Stud Hoop Earrings, $6.80

Oval Jewel Elastic Bracelet, $7.80

The belt and gladiator pumps gave the usual feminine garden dress a bit of an edgy and modern vibes. I like it, so I hope you do too.

Look For Less : R&M Printed Dress & Pumps

Dexie Wharton — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 13:37:23 +0000

Here’s a look for less ensemble featuring a R&M Printed Dress. This look could take you to the office, Church, or a simple gathering with family and friends.

Look For Less : R&< Printed Jersey Dress

R&M Richards Sleeveless Printed Jersey Dress, $42.99

Black Stiletto Pumps, $20.99

Sterling Silver tennis bracelet, $39.99

Sterling Silver Inside Hoop Earrings, $24.99

I decided to use silver toned accessories for this dress. I couldn’t exactly feature a real diamond tennis bracelet or hoop earrings so I used a sterling silver bracelet that’s less than $40 and hoop earrings that’s almost $30. If you have both of these in fine jewelry, I suggest you pair them with this dress. They’ll give you that sophisticated edge to feature your mature, feminine and stylish self.

When it comes to bags, I’m thinking a black clutch for a special occasion, then a simple black tote during the day.

Look For Less : White Dress & Espadrille

Dexie Wharton — Thu, 28 May 2009 16:35:43 +0000

White dresses for summer are so refreshing. If you don’t have a white dress yet, may I suggest this halter dress with a painted floral print? I also added espadrilles and accessories to show you an example of how I’d wear it myself.

Look For Less : White Halter Dress & Espadrille

Painted Bloom Halter Dress, $22.80

White Espadrille, $16.99

Jeweled Chain Flower Necklace, $11.80

Flower Drop Earrings, $3.80

How do you like it? That bold floral print is gorgeous, isn’t it? As soon as I saw the dress, a tie espadrille came to mind. I think it gives it a feminine and Grecian-inspired look.

Look For Less : Silk Top & Shorts

Dexie Wharton — Wed, 13 May 2009 20:17:18 +0000

Here’s a cute summer look involving a beautiful top that could either go with shorts, skirts, or jeans. I opted to pair it with a denim skirt.

Look For Less : Butterfly Print Top, Denim Skirt & Gladiators

Silk butterflies top, $17.80

Distressed denim skirt, $15.80

Rhinestones Earrings, $8.80

Teardrop Jewel necklace, $4.80

Dimpled bangle set, $5.80

Gladiator Flats, $16.99

I think the top would look really chic with jeans and heels too. Don’t you think? So this could be a daytime look, then wear jeans at night for some so socializing.

Look For Less : Top & Ombre Skirt

Dexie Wharton — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 15:31:20 +0000

Just like dresses, there are skirts perfect for Spring and Summer fashion as well. I can’t believe I’ve been ignoring the flowy, and printed skirts lately. Here’s a Look For Less outfit involving a skirt that I hope you like.

Look For Less : Top, Skirt, & Flats

tiered ombre skirt, $28

White embroidered smocked top, $24.80

Classified Seeker flats, $18.99

Bird and Stone necklace, $4.80

Teardrop Earrings, $3.80

Satin chain bracelet, $4.80

I added the turquoise color in there through the necklace and earrings just to give this Look For Less ensemble an oomph factor. I think the color combination look lively and very summery.

Look For Less : Top, Shorts and Sandals

Dexie Wharton — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 15:14:38 +0000

It has been raining quite a lot here in my neck of the woods so I have found myself dreaming of the days when I could go out and enjoy the sunny day. With a cute top and shorts ensemble of course. Like this Look For Less outfit that I just created.

Look For Less : Top, Shorts and Sandals

Twist-Pleated Top, $11.50

White cuffed twill shorts, $10.50

Rose and butterfly necklace, $5.80

Rhinestone hoop earrings, $6.80

Gold bangle set, $5.80

Sunglasses, $5.80

Gold Metallic Sandals, $15.80

I chose gold accents because I think it looks nice with the blue and white combo. There’s nothing wrong with adding a little bit of gold in our Summer outfits. If done minimally, it would look really nice. By the way, I was looking for a white purse from Forever21 but to no avail. Everything else in this outfit is intendedly from Forever21. One-stop shop, kind of thing. A white or black tote would do just fine.
