In my own search to find a red dress for myself this Holidays because our relatives want another Family picture, I took a chance in visiting Forever21 and I think I found a possible red dress. I have other red dresses in mind but the ones from Forever21 are really beautiful. Just in case you are looking for one too, here they are.

Fall Look : Purple Plaid Dress & Black Boots

Dexie Wharton — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:16:07 +0000

I never thought I’d actually see myself wear plaid in my lifetime. However I bought a green plaid dress over the summer and I thought that would be the end of it. But it seems plaid is such a huge trend this year so I figured I’d cut myself some slack and entertain the trend. I mean it wouldn’t hurt to be “trendy” once in a while. So here it is my Fall Look in a purple plaid dress and black knee-high boots.

Fall Look : Purple Plaid Dress & Boots

I’m afraid I’d get some flack over the dress once you find out what it is… after the fold…

Miley Cyrus & Max Azria Purple Plaid Dress, $14 (now on sale for $11)

Payless Black Knee-High Boots, $29.99

Not in the picture :

Twisted Silver Beatnik Silver Bracelet, $30

Nomination GLAM Purple Earrings

Kooba Alex Bag

Ok, about the dress, it’s actually under Juniors. It’s one of the cute dresses under the Miley Cyrus and Max Azria collection. I saw it a month ago and I thought it was cute. I thought I could wear it as a tunic with jeans but it was actually long enough for me to wear as a dress. I thought I looked cute so please cut me some slacks..hehe. If it makes you happy, I’d wear black tights underneath next time around.

Look For Less : La Belle Dress & Heels

Dexie Wharton — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:38:12 +0000

I fell in love with this La Belle Retro Dress as soon as I saw it. I love the colorblock style and the colors used to feature the 3 panels. Since it’s only $15, I figured I’d create a look for less for all of us. A simple dress and heels outfit that could work for any occasion.

La Belle Retro Dress With Rhinestone Brooch, $15

GO Max Satin Stiletto Heels W/ Rhinestone Brooch, $15

Satin Glamour Coat, $39.80

Accessory Bug Black Python Faux-Leather Clutch, $19.

The dress itself has a colorblock style utilizing the black, grey and hot pink colors. It’s accented with a circle rhinestone on the shoulder and gathered waist detail. This retro dress is really lovely. For a cover up, a glam satin coat wouldn’t hurt to have. A sexy pair of evening stilettos and a black clutch are all you need to complete your look. Perhaps diamond stud and tennis bracelet for accessories too if you want.

Under $35 Connected Apparel Chiffon Dress

Dexie Wharton — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:55:07 +0000

I’ve always loved the beautiful and affordable dresses from Connected Apparel especially around this time of year. So I’m not surprised to like this Chiffon Halter Dress as well. If you are in the lookout of stunning Holiday dresses without spending too much then I suggest you check this Connected Apparel Chiffon Halter Dress out.

Look at the details of the dress. First of, it’s a “sliding” halter dress accented with a tie-bow on the side. The front bust has a molded shirring details as well as the waist. You can pick from either black or chocolate colors. I was going to say pick black but then again, it’s on sale for $33.99 so I’m thinking maybe buy 2? That’s less than $100 for 2 cocktail dresses that you could wear this holidays or any other special occasions in your calendar.

Black pumps or evening stilettos would be nicely paired with either color of this Connected Apparel Chiffon Halter Dress.

Under $35 Calvin Klein Circle Print Dress

Dexie Wharton — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:59:01 +0000

This Calvin Klein Circle Print Halter dress looks a little weird at first but after looking at it for a while, I found myself loving. The circle print takes a bit of getting used to.

The tonal circle print gives this Calvin Klein Halter Dress an edgy look. But not too edgy for shall we say a “rocker” look. The edginess is just right for a nice and fun dress for the Holidays. The x-front design looks flattering as well. And you should be happy to know that it’s currently on sale for $33.99 at Overstock. That’s a good price for a Calvin Klein dress. Wear this dress with a black pair of stilettos, and perhaps a stud earrings and tennis bracelet for accessories. A beautiful combination for a gorgeous Holiday look if you ask me. But hurry because there are only 2 sizes (6, left. So grab it while you can.

Marshalls Holiday 2009 Lookbook

Dexie Wharton — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:43:17 +0000

A preview of the Marshalls Holiday 2009 matching dresses (mother-daughter) was posted along with the TJMaxx preview were posted a week ago. Now here are more items from the Marshalls Holiday 2009 Collection. Really good stuff in my opinion.

Cable Knit Sweater – Wear with a skirt, especially a pencil cut, then finished with boots for a chic and cozy look. For a petite person the sweater could actually work as a dress.

Bomber Jacket & Leggings – To tell you the truth I am more excite about the ruffled skirt and the red laced-up booties than the leggings. The bomber jacket is definitely cute though. I love the cap sleeves from it. Bomber Jacket is a versatile cover-ip accessory for a top or a dress.

Bomber Jacket & Sequined Dress – See what I mean about a bomber jacket and dress combination? The sequin trends is also big this time of year. Shiny and Shimmering things make people happy.

Faux-Fur Vest – Another trend this year is the faux-fur vest or cropped jackets. It’s a piece of accessory that can stand on it’s own meaning you have to be minimal with jewelry when wearing a faux-fur vest.

Red Wool Coat – Wool Coats are a must in this cold weather. The red color sure adds more points to it.

Red Party Dress – A red dress is always Va-Va-Voom, for lack of a better work. If you prefer the LBD route that’s fine too. A red one is also an statement piece. However, I don’t think I’ll be wearing wellies with my red dress like the model. I’d go for the classic black pumps instead.

Striped Cowl Neck Sweater – Another option besides the cable knit sweater. It’s perfect for casual days paired with a skirt or even jeans.

Cardigan – This is also another must-have for Fall and Winter seasons. I love how it has evolved from being just a casual cardigan to a now more chic and feminine look by adding accents like belts, either worn with skirts, trouser or jeans.

Under $50 Chic Dresses From Shopmamie

Dexie Wharton — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 23:10:18 +0000

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, or black bootie would be perfect with this dress.

This Venetian Halter Dress is versatile enough to be worn during Summer and Fall. Show off your your shoulder during Summer, then put on a cropped jacket for Fall. The waist is adorned with beautiful stone embellishments. A patterned tights with booties, pumps, or knee-high boots would look va-va-boom with dress. And it’s only $48.
