Here is an open invitation to all of you bargain fashionistas out there. I’ve been wanting to start this Style It Less Project for a while but other things always come up to distract me. I did have a contest last year asking everyone to create Under $100 Looks and a lot of your participated so If igured I’d make it a permanent fixture here at Style It Less.

With the economy’s downturn, now is the perfect time to show everyone how you manage to look great for less. You can read all the details of this Style It Less Project here. I am looking forward to seeing all your fabulous stylish looks for under $100/$150/$200.

Once Style It Less Project settles on it’s comfortable phase, I’ll offer some incentives like prices but for now, the pride and being able to inspire other bargain fashionistas with your own outfits will be the reward. Let’s get it rolling first then I’ll see what I can do later on for price incentives .

Read the infos on how to participate in the Style It Less Project. I’m looking forward to hearing from all of you.

I found this hot pink eyelet tunic from CATO on sale for $7.99. *WOOT* Ruching on the neck, cap sleeves and empire waist. There’s a keyhole tie detail the neckline as well. So how did I wear this eyelet tunic? Find out after the fold…

Who wears short shorts? That’s Me… . As you can see, I’m slightly tan on the upper body while my legs are ghostly white. It’s called, “winter effects” . Breakdown of my Summer look:

hot pink keyhole eyelet tunic, $7.00

denim shorts, $10

CATO gladiator flats, $7.99

black & blue beads magnetic bracelet, $20

sterling silver bangles, $3.99

sterling watch, gift

sunnies, $10

Marc Jacobs Inspired quilted stam bag, $52.69

The tunic looks capacious but it’s size M. If I bought size S, I might be busting out of it. Oh well, it looks ok and a little to wiggle room certainly didn’t hurt .

Kate Walsh looked chic and elegant in this red strapless dress, which if I remember it right is an Escada. But don’t quote me on that. I think the white peep-toe ankle straps pumps is Christian Louboutin. Again, don’t quote me on that but before I resized the picture, Louboutin’s signature red heels peeked at me . So anyway, I thought this ensemble is such a perfect combination for a either a wedding or a nighttime party. Works both ways. So we must copy Kate Walsh’s look for less .

• Forever21 Red Strapless Dress, $22.80
• Forever21 Gold Stud Bangle, $3.80
• White Ankle Strap Peep-Toe Platform Heel Pump, $23.99
• Accessory Bug Gold Clutch, $56.99
• OVERALL TOTAL : $107.58

Good Luck walking in those white peep-toe heels, hehe. You don’t necessarily have to wear those shoes. I’d actually prefer this white D’Orsay Pumps for $17.99. It’s your choice of course .

As I intimated earlier in the Yummy Mommy post, I was working on a Gwyneth Paltrow look for less, so here it is. Hope you like it

• Design History black strapless dress, $60.
• VICTORIAN STYLE BRASS BLACK CRYSTAL BANGLE BRACELET, $3.90
• 22″ STAINLESS STEEL BOX CHAIN NECKLACE, $5.50
• Forever21 Metallic Clasp Clutch, $13.80
• Bronze Platform Gladiator Heels, $19.99
• Gwyneth Paltrow Look For Less : $103.19.

Hot Mama Gwyneth used the chain necklace as a secondary bracelet along with her black bangle. Well that’s how it looks like anyway and I thought it was real clever. Something I’d be trying one of these days for sure .

Miley Cyrus wore a red Valentino gown for the Oscar’s. Thanks to PEOPLE You can get something similar for less than $200.

Nicole Miller Chiffon dress from Bluefly, $178.20

Pleated Silk slipdress from Spiegel, $59.99.

Wait a few days coz I’m pretty sure replicas of some of the beautiful dresses from last night’s Oscar’s for less than what the actresses paid for will be out. I got your back .
