NM Under $100 Sale : Bianca Nero & ABS

Dexie Wharton — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 21:19:52 +0000

If you liked the M.S.S.P. Purple Jersey Maxidress on sale for under $100 then I have a feeling you will also like these dresses from Bianca Nero and ABS. Both happen to be on sale for under $100 each as well. Their original prices were actually under $300 so even better, no?

I don’t want to introduce the word “holiday” too early but this Bianca Nero emerald silk one-shoulder chiffon dress is perfectly apropos this year around the holidays. The shade of green is just gorgeous. Add the one-shoulder detail, shirred skirt and the fact that’s it’s on sale for under $100 then by all means, let’s celebrate. It used to be $260 but is now on sale for $91. I can almost visualize myself wearing it. Pretty sight, if I say so myself .

This ABS by Allen Schwartz Boquet Print Dress is a perfect example of a floral dress for both Summer and Fall season. Wear this beautiful floral dress as is during the warmer season, then wear it underneath a fitted denim jacket during Fall season. It used to be $260 but is now on sale for $91 in size 8 only. So if you happen to wear that size then grab it fast before it disappears.

London Times Floral-Print Belted Dress

Dexie Wharton — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 13:30:20 +0000

I can’t find anything amiss with this London Times Sleeveless Floral-Print Belted Dress. I know nothing is perfect in this world, but this dress could be it. I’m exaggerating of course but judge for yourself.

I love the combination of white and black, the square neckline, belted waist, floral print, and black trim at the hem. While not everyone might not like the visible black zipper on the back, I actually find it unique. I don’t mind it one bit. How about you?

I’d wear this London Times dress with a pair of black pumps or stilettos and diamond tennis bracelet for accessories.

Purchase it at Macy’s while it’s on sale for $69.99. It’s available in sizes 4 to 14.

Dexie Wharton — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 13:54:08 +0000

Here is the Style It Less 2008 round-up of all the Under $100 Looks I’ve put together. Can you believe it’s almost 2009? I’m looking forward to what the new year is in store for us when in comes to trends that we’ll incorporate in our closet.

More Under $100 Looks after the fold…

All these “recessionitas” or “depressionistas” terms that are all of a sudden popping out when it comes to bargain shopping and fashion don’t really mean to us because here at Style It Less, we knew all along that we don’t have to spend too much to look fabulous. While they’re about to board our look for less train, we’re on our way to 2009 for more stylish and fashionable outfits for less. Hooray To Us.

Happy New Year everyone. Thanks for making 2008 fun, entertaining and fabulous. See you in 2009!

Under $100 Look : Black Strapless Floral Dress & Purple Booties

Dexie Wharton — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 17:04:18 +0000

I initially thought of featuring this black floral strapless dress from Forever21 by itself but I figured it would be nice to show you an idea on how to wear it. I hope you like it. I love how the colors of purple and yellow from the flowers are giving this strapless black dress it’s uniqueness.

Black Floral Strapless Dress, $24.80

Black Tights, $4.50

Purple Suede Booties, $24.80

Black Metallic Clutch, $36.99

You can certainly wear it with pumps or stilettos, anytime. This time though I paired it with a pair of purple booties because I think it would mesh well with the purple print on the dress. An additional bonus to accent a very chic and gorgeous strapless black dress. A bolero would look nice as a simple cover-up. Or a trench coat if you’re trudging along the street on your way to a party .

Under $100 Look : 2-Toned Skirt, Top & Booties With Silver Accents

Dexie Wharton — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 16:18:51 +0000

I like two-toned styles, do you? Most especially the black and white tones. It’s chic and elegant. May it be a dress or a skirt outfit. I saw this two-tones floral skirt from Forever21 so I figured I’d create an Under $100 Look with it. This is exactly how I would wear this silk two-toned floral print skirt.

Satin two-tone floral skirt, $22.80

Black lace top, $15.80

Black Tights, $4.50

Sterling Silver double key necklace, $5.80

Silver bracelet bangles set, $5.80

Payless patent oxford pumps, $19.99

Gorgeous! By the way, you have to tuck in the top. I want that oxford pumps but the Payless store I went to yesterday didn’t have ‘em. I guess I’ll visit the other stores. Wish me 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.

Under $100 Look : Ruffled Satin Top & Skirt

Dexie Wharton — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 14:30:49 +0000

I had so much fun putting together this Under $100 Holiday Look consisted of a ruffled top, skirt and booties. If we didn’t do red for our Family Picture last year, I would sooo rock this outfit this year for our picture. But I’ve decided to use another color for our theme this year. BUT, I could wear this anywhere. Maybe not quite a Church outfit, but perhaps while visiting the family members after opening gifts on Christmas morning. Seriously though, I’d wear this Under $100 look anywhere .

It’s glamorous without spending a glamorous amount of money. I hope you like it and maybe you could wear it for your Holiday picture or upcoming parties.

Red Ruffled Satin Top, $15.80

Black Lace Up Satin Trim skirt, $22.80

Black Pointelle Tights, $8.80

Black Ankle boots, $29.80

Jewel teardrop earrings, $3.80

Silver bangle, $3.80

The whole thing comes to $84.80. Keep in mind that you have to tuck the top in to make this look work. I’m confident that you already knew that, I just wanted to make sure .
