Dexie Wharton — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:06:03 +0000

I used to frown on skinny jeans but mostly because my hips are too big for me to look good in one. I do have cute outfit ideas which involves skinny jeans though. And I’m actually thinking of possibly getting 1 for myself. But of course I’ll make sure it really fits my body frame well. If you are the lucky ones who doesn’t have to worry about that and enjoy wearing skinny jeans, here are 3 pairs of G by GUESS Skinny Jeans that are currently on sale for under $20.

This one is called Roslyn Jeans. The back pockets are detailed with metallic rose embellishments. It’s available in sizes 29 and 31. It used to be $59.50 but is now on sale for $19.95.

If you are into colored skinny jeans then you might like this Brighton Skinny Jeans in pop of red color. It’s available in sizes 25, 27, 28, 29, 30, and 31. It’s also on sale for $19.95.

If colored jeans are not your forte but like that Brighton style, here’s one in medium wash. This one has zipper details on the ankles. It’s available in size 28 and is also on sale for $19.50.

Skinny Jeans look great with heels or flats. It also looks good tucked inside a pair of boots which is appropriate for the current season. Enjoy.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s White Blazer Look 4 Less

Dexie Wharton — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 00:00:50 +0000

Gwyneth Paltrow showed up at Paris Fashion Week to watch her friend Stella McCartney’s show in a very casual outfit. Casual yet chic and she certainly made people talk. Gwyneth paid an homage to the 80’s fashion by wearing acid wash skinny jeans and the damn shoulder pads on her Stella McCartney white blazer.

Gwyneth Paltrow

Well, if anyone could pull it off, it’s definitely Gwyneth Paltrow. I created a look for less version that’s more favorable to fashionistas like me who would rather bury the shoulder pads and not that fond of acid wash jeans.

Gwyneth Paltrow White Blazer & Skinny Jeans Look For Less

Forever21 Brushed Skinny Jeans, $24.90

Basic White Tee, $5.90

Urban Outfitters White Blazer, $88

Black Pumps, $18.99

Black Faux Leather Hobo, $39

Compare to the other people who attended the show, Gwyneth’s look was low-key. But because she carefully picked each item that she likes, she made people’s head turn as usual.

Fall Fashion : A Denim Jacket Look 2

Dexie Wharton — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 18:21:50 +0000

This is our second look featuring an Old Navy Denim Jacket which I hope you would incorporate in your outfits this Fall season. I featured a solid color dress on our first look. This time around, we’re matching a floral print dress with the denim jacket.

Look 2 : Denim Jacket W/ Floral Dress & Knee-High Boots

Fall Fashion : Denim Jacket With Floral Dress & Boots

Old Navy Denim Jacket, $29.50

Begonia Halter Dress, $22.80

Knee-High Black Boots, $32.99

Charlotte Russe Rounded Beaded Necklace, $7.99

Charlotte Russe Beaded Dangle Earrings, $4

Charlotte Russe Stackable Bangles, $4

Don’t be afraid to pair up a floral dress with the denim jacket. Even your spring floral dress could turn into Fall outfits just by adding a blazer or a fitted denim jacket over it. It would be a chic, and sophisticated look with a fun and flirty flairs. Of course the boots could also be your Fall shoes so you might as well get a pair, if you haven’t already.

Look For Less : Trapeze Top, Jeans, & Heels

Dexie Wharton — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 20:50:53 +0000

I first saw the polka-dot trapeze top a week ago. I planned on creating an outfit for it days after but I got so distracted and forgot about it. Then I saw the Gabriella Rocha polka-dot heels yesterday so I knew then that it would look good with the trapeze top. It’s almost like a match made in fashion heaven, heh.

Look For Less : Trapeze Top, Jeans & Heels

Polka Dot Trapeze Top, $22.80

Norma Kamali white jeans, $15

Gabriella Rocha Polka Dot heels, $35.01

Open-cut earrings, $3.80

Embedded chain bangle, $6.80

It’s chic, no? I think the polka dot print works well with the white jeans. A white or black handbag would be great to tote around.

Look For Less : Polka-Dot Top & Jeans

Dexie Wharton — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 13:48:49 +0000

Here’s a look for less outfit involving a yellow polka-dot top and white jeans. I first saw the top and I knew exactly what accents to pair it with. I hope you like it.

Look For Less : Yellow Polka-Dot Top & White Jeans

Yellow Chiffon Polka-dot top, $17.80

Levi’s White Jeans, $10

Yellow slingback peep-toe pumps, $22.99

Anchor pendant necklace, $4.80

Hinged loops bracelet, $4.80

Tassel end metal earrings, $3.80

That $10 Levi’s white jeans is insane. I found it at Walmart by the way. Props to Walmart for carrying Levi’s clothing with affordable prices to boot.

A white tote would a nice bag to carry around with for this outfit. A black tote would do just fine too.

Recession Shopping : Ashley Judd Jeans

Dexie Wharton — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 19:03:28 +0000

If you haven’t heard it by now, Goody’s is going out of business. The website is not even available anymore. It’s really sad because I love that store. I’ve found great brand name stuff (polka-dot dress, Breakin’Loose white dress, etc) there in very affordable prices. If you remember, Ashley Judd’s collection made it’s home at Goody’s in 2007. From tops, jeans, coats, and bags. I’ve always wanted to get my hands on an Ashley Judd item but they were still a little pricey for my wallet.

Now that Goody’s is going out of business I figured I might as well take advantage of it. I said the store has brand names in affordable items but I do think they need to lower their sale prices further. If they really want to get rid of their stuff, they need to slash more off of the original prices. There are still a lot left because with how the economy is going, shoppers are not willing to pay $25 on a top if they could easily get the same thing at TJMaxx or Ross for $10 or $5. Just a thought.

Having said that, after digging through a LOT of racks, I found an Ashley Judd Flare White jeans.

This Ashley Judd white jeans is regularly priced at $39 but I only paid $13 for it. I wish it was lower like $10 since Goody’s is going out of business anyway. What can I say, I wish for bargains too much . Oh well, $13 is a good price. I’m looking forward to wearing this white jeans soon. Most probably in the Spring and Summer. I also found an Ashley Judd Teal top that would go nicely with this. I’ll talk about that some other time.

If you have Goody’s in your area, check it out now before everything disappears. I’d probably visit the 2 stores near me sometime before they close. I’m biding my time. I’m trying to wait ’till everything are like less than $10 (LOL).

Look For Less : School Meeting Outfit

Dexie Wharton — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 13:00:12 +0000

My husband and I had a meeting with our 5th grader’s Teacher and Guidance Councilor yesterday and here’s the Look For Less I came up with for a School Meeting outfit .

multicolored ruffled tiered top, $10

OLD Navy cuffed jeans, $14.99

unlisted bow peep-toe pumps, $10

Accessories : charm bracelet (n/a), twisted drop hoop earrings ($2.99), sterling watch (n/a)

Celebrities like Kate Holmes, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Alba has been seen around town cuffing their jeans so I thought I’d do it too. It reminds of the fashion trend when I was still in college which I actually liked around that time. Apparently, I still do. Besides, I was cuffing the jeans before the celebs caught up with the “cuffed jeans” trend, heh.

The floral printed heels may look a little funky with an already patterned tiered top but I like it. The concept looks better in person. By the way, I put on a faux leather jacket to keep me warm.

Mothers Do Wear Chuck Taylor’s

Dexie Wharton — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 17:18:54 +0000

Let me explain the title first. The day after I cropped and put a collage together from the pictures of me wearing the Black Sabbath Hi Top Chuck Taylor (3rd picture), I checked the entries from the Converse “The Doors” Sneakers giveaway and a comment from Joni made me smile. Apparently her daughter told her that Mom’s don’t wear Chuck’s. She couldn’t be more wrong .

I’m a Mom of 2, a 10 yr old boy and 2yr old girl. Look at the pictures above, I’m wearing Chuck’s . I also have a pair of the black hi-top Black Sabbath Converse sneakers (5th picture). I’m still pining over a pink pair, and the low top white “The Doors”. AND, I would definitely love to get a pair from the Pink Floyd collection as soon as it’s out. I don’t mean to put Joni and her daughter on the spot but Yes, Mother DO wear Chucks. It’s the only canvas sneakers I wear as a matter of fact. I’m not a sneakers (only when working out) kind of girl but I’d rock a Converse Chuck Taylor, anytime .

Click “read more” for my outfit’s breakdown….

Only 9 Graphic smocked top, $3 (on sale form TJMaxx)
Levi’s Low Rise Flair Jeans, *can’t remember how much
Hi Top Black Sabbath All Star Converse Chuck Taylor, $49.99
white Circle cut out chain necklace, $3.99
Sterling silver bangles, $3.99
Sterling silver hoop earrings
Sterling silver watch

I would’ve loved it to showcase the Hi Top Black Sabbath All Star Converse Chuck Taylor by wearing skinny jeans or a straight leg jeans that’s cuffed at the hem but I didn’t want to change pants and we were about to leave so maybe next time .

I do need to visit my hair stylist to get my bangs trimmed and layer the ends of my hair again. I’ll do that soon. I want longer layers this time around so I’m trying to grow my hair longer even more.

Don’t forget to check out my Hi Top Green Converse “The Doors” All Star Chuck Taylor giveaway. Good Luck!

Under $100 Look : Cropped Cardigan Casual Look With Boots

Dexie Wharton — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 16:28:22 +0000

Here’s an Under $100 casual outfit for the Fall/Winter days where the snow doesn’t appear in the vicinity of your driveway. Or even farther . Places like LA, SD, and where I live, NC for example. I see celebs wearing tank tops and flip flops in Cali at this time of year. In my side, it’s cold but not cold enough to warrant a thick coat. So an outfit like this would make sense more.

Gray sequin bow cardigan, $24.80

Basic Racerback Tank top, $6.80

Soda Shoes Black Flat Knee-High boots, $27.99

Skinny Jeans, $22.80

Jeweled Cross Necklace, $4.80

Tuck jeans inside the boots. Overall total of this cute casual outfit is $87.19. Fantastic! What’s good about is that you can wear each items with different looks too. The flat knee-high boots would look great with a dress or a skirt. The cropped cardigan is a nice cover-up for a strapless dress. Skinny Jeans are sexy with either boots or heels. Happy styling everyone.
