			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/i/zn4hfkdw/Dv-By-Dolce-Vita-Women-Apos-S-Calvin-Flat"><img class="alignnone" src="http://11.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kswyb0GWWW1qz7t98o1_400.jpg" alt="" width="309" height="263" /></a></p>
<p>I am absolutely loving <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/i/zn4hfkdw/Dv-By-Dolce-Vita-Women-Apos-S-Calvin-Flat">these pointy-toe flats</a> from DV by Dolce Vita.</p>
<p>Dolce Vita has long been one of my lust-after shoe brands, but is a bit on the pricey side.</p>
<p>DV by Dolce Vita is much more affordable and has some adorable shoe options, like this!</p>
<p>Every woman should own a great pair of pointy-toe flats, as they look amazing with many different outfits. My favorite pairing? Slightly slouchy skinny jeans and a faux-fur vest.</p>
<p>Do you have any pointy-toe flat favs?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my favorite spots for fashion inspiration is a <a href="http://www.flickr.com">Flickr</a> group entitled <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/wardrobe_remix/">Wardrobe Remix</a>. Regular girls and guys can submit head-to-toe shots of their outfits and then fashion voyeurs, such as myself, can partake in the thousands of great real-life looks.</p>
<p>I recently found two looks I really liked and decided to recreate their outfits for as cheap a price point as possible.</p>
<p>First, I found a photo of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/night_owl_inthewoods/2600276736/in/pool-wardrobe_remix">night.owl</a>, whose outfit was quite basic but had a fun pop of color.</p>
<p><img src="http://img33.picoodle.com/img/img33/4/7/6/f_redtightsm_f311bc7.jpg" alt="" width="484" height="365" /></p>
<ol>
<li>Start out with a <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/jgttj25s">basic white dress</a>, as <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/night_owl_inthewoods/2600276736/in/pool-wardrobe_remix">night.owl</a> did. I chose one that&#8217;s a bit more full in the skirt, which is more universally flattering.</li>
<li>I love the edgy jacket that <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/night_owl_inthewoods/2600276736/in/pool-wardrobe_remix">night.owl</a> is sporting. The dark charcoal gray also adds a modern, casual feel to the dress. Try <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/bb05zz47">this one</a> by Forever 21.</li>
<li>Gray shoes are harder to find in the summer, but come fall/winter they should be much more plentiful. For now, try <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/hzqqpymd">this pair</a>.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/zdpn7k1x">Red tights</a> completely made <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/night_owl_inthewoods/2600276736/in/pool-wardrobe_remix">night.owl</a>&#8217;s outfit. They added a punchy color and a quirky element that really stood out to me.</li>
</ol>
<p><span id="more-326"></span></p>
<p>Next, I loved the romanticism of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/moda-r/2601727376/in/pool-wardrobe_remix">Moda-R</a>&#8217;s outfit.</p>
<p><img src="http://img32.picoodle.com/img/img32/4/7/6/f_flowydressm_b707149.jpg" alt="" width="445" height="418" /></p>
<ol>
<li>The slightly hippie print and feel of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/moda-r/2601727376/in/pool-wardrobe_remix">Moda-R&#8217;</a>s dress is well-replicated in <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/vnd667h3">this green version</a> by Forever 21.</li>
<li>A <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/0vsvyqw7">cardigan</a> makes this outfit work-appropriate, but also gives it a more vintage, 50&#8217;s feel.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/dpk2wz8s">Metallic sandals</a> will go with almost everything and they&#8217;ve got a laid-back, summery vibe.</li>
<li>Finish off the outfit with a <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/rtbcmlcp">waist-cinching belt</a>.</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a continuation of <a href="http://blog.stylefeeder.com/2008/06/02/want-a-sweet-deal-check-out-my-favorite-websites/">my previous post</a>, I present more of my favorite online shopping destinations.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.etsy.com"><strong>Etsy.com</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/">Etsy.com</a> is addictive. With hundreds of thousands of items, you are literally guaranteed to find multiple things you absolutely <em>must</em>have. Luckily, almost everything on etsy.com is quite affordable.</p>
<p>My favorite things to buy on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">Etsy</a> include jewelry, vintage clothing and <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_type=tag_title&amp;search_query=journals">paper-related products</a>. Most of these things are either re-worked new pieces (like American Apparel shirts with appliques) or created from scratch/by hand.</p>
<p>When buying <a href="http://www.etsy.com/category_top.php?top_tag=jewelry">jewelry</a> from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">Etsy</a>, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. If you are buying a genuine <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search_results_category.php?search_type=category_tags_jewelry&amp;search_query=pearl+necklace">pearl necklace</a> for around $20, contact the seller for a guarantee. Although it may be vintage and being re-sold for a steal, you want to make sure you aren&#8217;t buying something cheap or poorly made. There are so many quality sellers on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">Etsy</a> that there&#8217;s no excuse for something that may fall apart or not live up to your expectations.</p>
<p>Keep an eye out for really unique items. One of my favorite things I&#8217;ve found on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">Etsy</a> were <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/12bgxw">bracelets</a> with letters all over them made with different fonts&#8230;sort of an jewelry-themed ode to typography, if you will. The seller is taking a hiatus right now, but keep an eye on her <a href="<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5083047">shop space</a>. You&#8217;ll want to pick one of these up when she starts producing them again!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_type=tag_title_all&amp;search_query=vintage+clothing">Vintage clothing/items</a> are another good thing to look for. There are plenty of home items and trinkets to be found at a steal of a price, and there is some very good vintage clothing. Just keep digging until you find a seller you like and then bookmark it!</p>
<p>The great thing about <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">Etsy</a> is that you are dealing with real people, not a large corporation. If you become a regular buyer, you can start a dialogue with the seller and maybe get alerts to new items before anyone else.</p>

<li><a href="http://www.alloy.com"><strong>Alloy.com</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<p>Don&#8217;t be put off by appearances: <a href="http://www.alloy.com">Alloy</a> may seem like your average teeny-bopper clothing site, but it&#8217;s actually a fantastic resource for reasonably-priced cute clothing and has an amazing denim selection that every woman should look at.</p>
<p>I always give <a href="http://www.alloy.com">Alloy</a> a rave review when people ask me where I got my <a href="http://store.alloy.com/browse.do?categoryID=12&amp;sidenavTrack=apparel.pants">pants</a> or <a href="http://store.alloy.com/browse.do?categoryKey=denim&amp;frontTrack=promo1&amp;incmpid=TL">jeans</a>. They carry every size imaginable.  Many of their pants go up into the high-20&#8217;s plus sizes &#8212; and they also carry <a href="http://store.alloy.com/browse.do?categoryID=767&amp;sidenavTrack=inseams">petite and <em>long </em>inseams</a>. We&#8217;re talking long, long inseams: up to 37&#8221;, which happens to be the inseam I buy.</p>
<p>Some tips: look for stylish, fashion-forward clothing, not necessarily the stuff that&#8217;s marketed directly at the teen audience. Stay away from anything too cheap-looking.</p>
<p>As far as jeans are concerned, make sure you consult the <a href="http://store.alloy.com/content/features/lounge/jsp/index.jsp?sidenavTrack=style_lounge">size guide</a>, because <a href="http://www.alloy.com">Alloy</a> primarily goes by Juniors sizing, which means you may have to buy up a couple sizes from what you normally wear.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://store.alloy.com/browse.do?categoryKey=shoes&amp;shopnavTrack=shoes&amp;incmpid=TopNavSh">shoes</a> are another good section on <a href="http://www.alloy.com">Alloy</a>. They copy designer looks at a really great price (usually less than $30), so give that a look.</p>
<p>Any question about jeans or pants? Let me know&#8230;I&#8217;m a veritable expert by now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of people ask me where I get the clothes I&#8217;m wearing and they&#8217;re always surprised when I say where I got them and how much the item cost. Typical reactions include disbelief and jealousy, especially when I&#8217;ve spent less than $20 on a pair of shoes identical to an $80 pair someone else owns.</p>
<p>How do you find your own sweet deals and which online shopping destinations will give you the most bang for your buck?</p>
<p>Here are a few of my favorite sites and a few of the best items from them that I&#8217;ve added to my StyleFeed over time.<strong></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.forever21.com"><strong>Forever 21</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.forever21.com/">Forever 21</a> has incredible selection and style and the prices are outrageous, especially if you do a bit of digging. I&#8217;ve unearthed fabulous dresses for less than $20 and great costume jewelry pieces for around $5. The shipping from the site is painless and quick and they have easy return policies should something not fit.</p>
<p>Here are my tips for shopping online at <a href="http://www.forever21.com/">Forever 21</a>:</p>
<p>Visit the store before you shop the website so you know what fits you and what you&#8217;re looking for. Often, the actual clothing looks different in person than it does on their website, especially in the dress length area. Some &#8220;dresses&#8221; <a href="http://www.forever21.com/">Forever 21</a> sells are more tunic-lengthed, meaning you&#8217;d have to wear them as shirts or with leggings in order to make them street-appropriate.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t expect pristine quality. <a href="http://www.forever21.com/">Forever 21</a> keeps their prices low by mass-producing huge quantities of clothing that aren&#8217;t meticulously made. Don&#8217;t expect your clothing to hold up for years-or sometimes weeks-on end.</p>
<p>Beware of dresses or shirts you need to zip. <a href="http://www.forever21.com/">Forever 21</a> has fairly cheap zippers that often break.</p>
<p>If in doubt, go up a size. Their clothing runs tiny&#8211;truly tiny. If you have a wide rib-cage, like I do, you may need to go up two sizes if something is really fitted around that area.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/p076h1t2"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/p0/76/p076h1t2/p076h1t2-100.jpg" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/11jypltc"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/11/jy/11jypltc/11jypltc-100.jpg" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/6wz0j4vr"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/6w/z0/6wz0j4vr/6wz0j4vr-100.jpg" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/4p3b69fk"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/4p/3b/4p3b69fk/4p3b69fk-100.jpg" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/psdnqp"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/ps/dn/psdnqp/psdnqp-100.jpg" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/yhjrrz"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/yh/jr/yhjrrz/yhjrrz-100.jpg" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/g58lm1"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/g5/8l/g58lm1/g58lm1-100.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<ul>
<p><span id="more-312"></span></p>
<li><a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com"><strong>Urban Outfitters</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/">Urban Outfitters</a> is a true fashionista&#8217;s paradise. Chock full of interesting bohemian pieces, you can find some great clothing for less than $50. Often <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/">Urban</a> also carries more expensive lines (upwards of $200), so make sure you don&#8217;t fall in love with something before checking the price.</p>
<p>Some things to buy from <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/">Urban</a>:</p>
<p>Accessories are always a great bet. They have tons of belts, handbags, scarves, etc. Their shoe selection is also enviable. Check out their flats and sandals, especially now. They have lots of cute new things.</p>
<p>When cold weather is once again upon us, <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/">Urban</a> carries a wide-range of outerwear which is all pretty affordable and cute, without being cutesy.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/">Urban</a> always carries Converse All-Star sneakers in hard-to-find colors and patterns. Check the men&#8217;s shoe section for more.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/pf6s62sq"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/pf/6s/pf6s62sq/pf6s62sq-100.jpg" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/s48hfxtx"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/s4/8h/s48hfxtx/s48hfxtx-100.jpg" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/dltshrb4"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/dl/ts/dltshrb4/dltshrb4-100.jpg" alt="" /></a><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/fd/cl/fdcly7qr/fdcly7qr-100.jpghttp://www.stylefeeder.com/item/fdcly7qr" alt="" /><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/0vnfsd0k"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/0v/nf/0vnfsd0k/0vnfsd0k-100.jpg" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/vctgx3yg"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/vc/tg/vctgx3yg/vctgx3yg-100.jpg" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/5vj3w6lk"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/5v/j3/5vj3w6lk/5vj3w6lk-100.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.cutesygirl.com"><strong>Cutesygirl.com</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.cutesygirl.com/">Cutesygirl.com</a> has shoes for unbelievable prices. Truly unbelievable. I tell people I got boots or heels for $12 and they don&#8217;t believe me until I show them the webpage.</p>
<p>The thing about <a href="http://www.cutesygirl.com/">Cutesygirl.com</a> is that they mix some really awful, ugly shoes in with adorable and stylish ones. You&#8217;re going to have to be willing to put in some search time.</p>
<p>The quality is fairly good, about what you&#8217;d expect from Target or Payless shoes. Not great, but they&#8217;ll do. Some of the brands (like Steve Madden) that <a href="http://www.cutesygirl.com/">Cutesygirl.com</a> has are obviously better quality than others. Just be choosy and you&#8217;ll be okay.</p>
<p>Watch for these styles from <a href="http://www.cutesygirl.com/">Cutesygirl.com</a>:</p>
<p>Flats or pumps are always a good pick. Search by &#8220;Price- Low to High&#8221; to find the best deals. If you see something you like and they have your size, snatch it up quick. The cheaper shoes go fast, and they often run out of the most popular sizes quickly, leaving only 6&#8217;s to be had.</p>
<p>There are some great boot offerings from <a href="http://www.cutesygirl.com/">Cutesygirl.com</a>, but once again, search carefully. Avoid stiletto, pointy-toed boots at all cost. You can get those almost anywhere now, but they really aren&#8217;t tremendously popular anyway. Don&#8217;t fall into the trap of buying something just because it&#8217;s cheap: there are lots of inexpensive shoes on <a href="http://www.cutesygirl.com/">Cutesygirl</a>, but don&#8217;t sacrifice style just because something is $10.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/s0my5c9y"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/s0/my/s0my5c9y/s0my5c9y-100.jpg" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/r41nm4mc"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/r4/1n/r41nm4mc/r41nm4mc-100.jpg" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/kxmzvn77"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/kx/mz/kxmzvn77/kxmzvn77-100.jpg" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/97kkwq2l"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/97/kk/97kkwq2l/97kkwq2l-100.jpg" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/wpg99jmq"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/wp/g9/wpg99jmq/wpg99jmq-100.jpg" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/rrzypt"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/rr/zy/rrzypt/rrzypt-100.jpg" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/m42slvnm"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/m4/2s/m42slvnm/m42slvnm-100.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love those spreads in fashion magazines that detail, &#8220;A Month of Style!&#8221; with a photo for every day&#8217;s ideal outfit taken from a gigantic wardrobe of things to pick and choose from.</p>
<p>Alas, I am not wealthy enough to afford to buy their wardrobe suggestions. $300 for a dress? Not gonna happen! I&#8217;d like to have a settled career, thanks, before I start spending large chunks of rent and food money on clothing. As fun as that is, a girl&#8217;s gotta eat!</p>
<p>My thought was to re-create the same idea: a week of fashion, made from a few simple items, but<em> all affordable. </em>Mind-blowing, right?</p>
<p><strong>Day One &#8211; Bohemian Chic</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/7tpxd43t"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/7t/px/7tpxd43t/7tpxd43t-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/scrq8rc3"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/sc/rq/scrq8rc3/scrq8rc3-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/qz6y8tgh"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/qz/6y/qz6y8tgh/qz6y8tgh-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Pair these <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/7tpxd43t">great (and cheap) sandals from Forever 21</a> with a <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/scrq8rc3">Lux skirt</a> by Urban Outfitters and a <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/qz6y8tgh">top from Delias</a>.</p>
<p><em>Why should you wear this? </em>It&#8217;s got a great, &#8220;oh-this-old-thing&#8221; casual look, but still looks like you took time in choosing your appearance.</p>
<p><em>To mix it up &#8211; </em>Add a bright colored scarf, a couple gold bangles or hoops or a light, loose jacket.</p>
<p><span id="more-287"></span></p>
<p><strong>Day Two &#8211; Dressing Down</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/7tpxd43t"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/7t/px/7tpxd43t/7tpxd43t-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/smlv81fk"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/sm/lv/smlv81fk/smlv81fk-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/mf65hk1f"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/mf/65/mf65hk1f/mf65hk1f-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/yc9jmqzz"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/yc/9j/yc9jmqzz/yc9jmqzz-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Go for a more muted look with <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/7tpxd43t">Forever 21 sandals</a>, <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/smlv81fk">Delias dark-wash denim</a>, a <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/mf65hk1f">gathered-sleeve cardigan</a> (also Forever 21) and a <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/yc9jmqzz">vintage-print blouse</a> from Urban Outfitters.</p>
<p><em>Why should you wear this? </em>It&#8217;s that elusive blend of high-and-low. Touches, like the gathered sleeves on the cardigan, and the open-back on the blouse, add a wow-factor to what could be a pretty basic outfit otherwise. Wear the cardigan open to show off the print on the blouse.</p>
<p><em>To mix it up &#8211; </em>Add a really standout handbag: bright/jewel colors are fun. Also, a ethnic-inspired necklace could add a bit of texture.</p>
<p><strong>Day Three &#8211; Going Out, Looking Good</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/wxsh20s5"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/wx/sh/wxsh20s5/wxsh20s5-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/db4my069"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/db/4m/db4my069/db4my069-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/g6dd9qxm"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/g6/dd/g6dd9qxm/g6dd9qxm-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Mix colors and textures for an outfit that&#8217;s got great classic shapes, but unusual punches here and there. <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/wxsh20s5">These Payless wedges</a> look comfortable <em>and </em>a bit sexy, while <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/db4my069">this trench</a> from Nordstrom is&#8211;and you won&#8217;t believe it&#8211;less than $60. I like <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/g6dd9qxm">this Urban Outfitters dress</a> for the more fitted look&#8211;I&#8217;m slowly developing a distaste for trapeze! Show off those curves, woman!</p>
<p><em>Why should you wear this? </em>You could wear this to the movies, dinner or just on a jaunt to the local bookstore. It&#8217;s dressy and casual together&#8211;which is a combo that you should always be looking for when warmer weather rolls around.</p>
<p><em>To mix it up &#8211; </em>Add a deep blue scarf, if it&#8217;s still cold. If not, try a funky knit beret cap. For jewelry, almost anything goes. I&#8217;d be partial to wearing some faux-pearl drops, but hey! That&#8217;s just me.</p>
<p><strong>Day Four &#8211; Sens(ual) and Sensibility</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/7tpxd43t"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/7t/px/7tpxd43t/7tpxd43t-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/88tqmgc0"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/88/tq/88tqmgc0/88tqmgc0-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/dbbpn524"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/db/bp/dbbpn524/dbbpn524-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/mf65hk1f"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/mf/65/mf65hk1f/mf65hk1f-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Start off with our <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/7tpxd43t">favorite Forever 21 sandals</a>. Add this <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/88tqmgc0">purple v-neck dress</a> from Target. Here comes the tricky part: put <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/dbbpn524">this Forever 21 blouse</a> <em>over</em>, yes, <em>OVER</em> the purple dress. Cinch the tie tightly. Layer with <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/mf65hk1f">the gathered sleeve cardigan</a> if you get chilly.</p>
<p><em>Why should you wear this? </em>The sensual purple and flowy fabric of the Forever 21 blouse go beautifully together, and the sandals are neutral enough that they don&#8217;t attract from the colorful prettiness up above. The cardigan is the ideal backdrop, should the evening temperatures drop unexpectedly.</p>
<p><em>To mix it up &#8211; </em>Add a brown belt over the Forever 21 blouse for even greater cinching power. Try a thin, gold chain around your neck for jewelry.</p>
<p><strong>Day Five &#8211; TGIF </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/wxsh20s5"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/wx/sh/wxsh20s5/wxsh20s5-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/smlv81fk"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/sm/lv/smlv81fk/smlv81fk-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/bnrqys77"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/bn/rq/bnrqys77/bnrqys77-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/mf65hk1f"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/mf/65/mf65hk1f/mf65hk1f-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Pull out your <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/wxsh20s5">Payless wedges</a>, <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/smlv81fk">Delias jeans</a> and add something new: <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/bnrqys77">this Forever 21 pinstriped jacket</a>. Instead of wearing a traditional shirt/blouse, why not wear <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/mf65hk1f">a cardigan </a><em><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/mf65hk1f">as your shirt</a>? </em>Look at all these new ideas you&#8217;re getting for old stand-bys!</p>
<p><em>Why should you wear this? </em>The deep v-neck on the cardigan is a good going-out look, but is countered by the ladylike aspects of the pinstriped jacket. Jeans and wedges are a surefire bottom-half look. What girl doesn&#8217;t like to sit around with friends at the local hangout in comfy wedges and denim? Much better than trousers, right?</p>
<p><em>To mix it up &#8211; </em>Put a skinny belt in a punchy color over the cardigan at your waistline. Try navy or purple&#8230;or yellow! Or, tie a vintage-print silk scarf around your neck, in sort of a French-girl way.</p>
<p><strong>Day Six &#8211; Dinner and a Movie</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/wxsh20s5"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/wx/sh/wxsh20s5/wxsh20s5-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/scrq8rc3"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/sc/rq/scrq8rc3/scrq8rc3-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/bnrqys77"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/bn/rq/bnrqys77/bnrqys77-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/yc9jmqzz"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/yc/9j/yc9jmqzz/yc9jmqzz-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Oh, those <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/wxsh20s5">trusty Payless wedges</a>! You&#8217;ve both come so far! Pair them with your <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/scrq8rc3">Lux skirt</a>, <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/bnrqys77">Forever 21 pinstriped jacket</a> and the <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/yc9jmqzz">vintage-print Urban Outfitters blouse</a>.</p>
<p><em>Why should you wear this? </em>It&#8217;s got all <em>sorts </em>of fun things going on. You can show off your tanned (or pasty, in my case) legs, or just flaunt a tiny sliver of skin on your back, via the Urban Outfitters blouse.</p>
<p><em>To mix it up &#8211; </em>Wear funky jewelry with this one: think bright and bold. Maybe Indian-inspired red chandelier earrings, or a big faux coral-bead bracelet.</p>
<p><strong>Day Seven &#8211; Errands Away</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/7tpxd43t"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/7t/px/7tpxd43t/7tpxd43t-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/smlv81fk"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/sm/lv/smlv81fk/smlv81fk-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/db4my069"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/db/4m/db4my069/db4my069-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/qz6y8tgh"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/qz/6y/qz6y8tgh/qz6y8tgh-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>This outfit requires: those <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/7tpxd43t">Forever 21 sandals</a>, <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/smlv81fk">Delias jeans</a>, <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/db4my069">Nordstrom trenchcoat</a>, and one of my favorite items, <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/qz6y8tgh">the Delias blouse</a>.</p>
<p><em>Why should you wear this? </em>Most people wear their most casual clothing (i.e. sweats) to run Sunday errands. I say, pull out your chicest looks, grab some coffee, relax with a book, and <em>then </em>go get your groceries.</p>
<p><em>To mix it up &#8211; </em>I&#8217;d replace the belt on the Nordstrom trench with a long, bright-colored ribbon tie, or with a flexible brown belt. A faux-pearl necklace that rested right at the bottom of your neck on your collarbone would also accentuate the pretty boatneck neckline on the blouse.</p>
<p>Have a great week! Any questions about the clothes in this post or ideas for another &#8220;week of style?&#8221; Just message me on Stylefeeder! </p>

<p>Color, color, and more color! After the drab and dark days of winter, I am <em>so </em>happy to see bright, fun colors taking over my favorite shopping spots.</p>
<p>I wear a LOT of monochromatic colors like black, gray and white, with the occasional pop of navy or taupe, but I am determined to wear a lot of fun colors this spring and summer. And why not? Just looking at the page above from <em>People Style Watch</em> makes me feel better about my day. Imagine a double-page spread of black clothes? Not nearly as exciting.</p>
<p>Check out some of my favorite (and, as always, affordable) finds for spring.</p>
<p><strong>Blue</strong></p>
<p>My favorite spring shade is an eye-popping cobalt blue. Blue with black is no longer taboo, so feel free to match these separates with black accessories or other items at your heart&#8217;s content.</p>
<p><strong>Jackie&#8217;s Favorite Blue Picks</strong>: <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/74fz3gm0">These deep blue</a> Forever21 slingback platforms are super-inexpensive and have a great glossy patent finish. These could be worn with jeans, pencil skirts, dresses&#8230;they&#8217;ve got a really versatile quality. I also love this <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/2ndbzx86">cobalt blue peacoat</a>. Since it&#8217;s still a little cold in DC, I&#8217;m still gravitating towards warmer clothing!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/3vt0nw7l"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/3v/t0/3vt0nw7l/3vt0nw7l-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/0sp8zkj2"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/0s/p8/0sp8zkj2/0sp8zkj2-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/qyrlxv29"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/qy/rl/qyrlxv29/qyrlxv29-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/2ndbzx86"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/2n/db/2ndbzx86/2ndbzx86-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/74fz3gm0"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/74/fz/74fz3gm0/74fz3gm0-200.jpg" /></a><br />
<a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/mfn8yb2m"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/mf/n8/mfn8yb2m/mfn8yb2m-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/fx545rr3"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/fx/54/fx545rr3/fx545rr3-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/7zbl09dv"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/7z/bl/7zbl09dv/7zbl09dv-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/n9z3m8v4"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/n9/z3/n9z3m8v4/n9z3m8v4-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/23bc18ry"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/23/bc/23bc18ry/23bc18ry-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-254"></span></p>
<p><strong>Turquoise</strong></p>
<p>I must be honest: I&#8217;ve not always been a fan of turquoise. Because I&#8217;m drawn to &#8220;boring&#8221; colored clothing, turquoise was&#8211;and still is&#8211;a little bit &#8220;out there&#8221; for me. However,  I&#8217;m going to try my very hardest to circulate a few of the jewel-colored items into my wardrobe.</p>
<p><strong>Jackie&#8217;s Favorite Turquoise Picks: </strong>A tunic is an easy, casual way to mix in a bright color. Worn with jeans, neutral flats and a spring scarf, this <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/vq7rpc7g">Forever 21 turquoise version</a> is surprisingly wearable. <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/sg5qw1b5">This Victoria&#8217;s Secret maxi dress</a> is so stunningly pretty on the model (unsurprisingly) that I feel an urge to try out the style myself.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/vq7rpc7g"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/vq/7r/vq7rpc7g/vq7rpc7g-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/w4lc2209"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/w4/lc/w4lc2209/w4lc2209-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/crp4df6n"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/cr/p4/crp4df6n/crp4df6n-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/v91r7qq4"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/v9/1r/v91r7qq4/v91r7qq4-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/qj0x3tks"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/qj/0x/qj0x3tks/qj0x3tks-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/sg5qw1b5"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/sg/5q/sg5qw1b5/sg5qw1b5-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Red</strong></p>
<p>Red is the color of passion, love, and apparently, springtime. Bright reds, dark reds, wines&#8230;every shade of red is in play for spring. Luckily, red is a great color on lots of women, regardless of race or skin tone. Dark skin tones should try a darker, merlot color, while women with a yellow-undertone in their skin should aim for jewel-toned shades. Pale women can wear lighter shades of red, as well as dark shades, but be aware that the brighter your clothing, the more pale you&#8217;ll look.</p>
<p><strong>Jackie&#8217;s Favorite Red Picks</strong>: Forever 21 is really stealing the show where my favorites are concerned! <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/93s44mkf">This bright-red, embellished shirt</a> is <em>great. </em>I love the price and the effortless style. <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/8y4n66sy">This turtleneck dress</a> from Nordstrom is another good piece. It&#8217;s a good style to wear year-round, and it has such a good, rich red color.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/nxk2j2ms"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/nx/k2/nxk2j2ms/nxk2j2ms-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/3p3hk9pc"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/3p/3h/3p3hk9pc/3p3hk9pc-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/93s44mkf"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/93/s4/93s44mkf/93s44mkf-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/wpg99jmq"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/wp/g9/wpg99jmq/wpg99jmq-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/56ttqmtt"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/56/tt/56ttqmtt/56ttqmtt-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/bfmlxfym"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/bf/ml/bfmlxfym/bfmlxfym-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/j4jgxcmt"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/j4/jg/j4jgxcmt/j4jgxcmt-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/kxmzvn77"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/kx/mz/kxmzvn77/kxmzvn77-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/8y4n66sy"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/8y/4n/8y4n66sy/8y4n66sy-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/sb9rc1c7"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/sb/9r/sb9rc1c7/sb9rc1c7-200.jpg" /></a><br />
<a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/1vwbh9f5"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/1v/wb/1vwbh9f5/1vwbh9f5-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Pink &amp; Yellow</strong></p>
<p>Pink &amp; yellow bring to mind a certain holiday, that of course, being Easter. But worn separately, each color brings an unexpected, cheery element to an outfit. I&#8217;m definitely feeling a mustard-y shade of yellow for spring. Plus, mustard really compliments gray&#8230;and I have a <em>lot </em>of gray clothing!</p>
<p><strong>Jackie&#8217;s Favorite Pink &amp; Yellow Picks</strong>: <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/97kkwq2l">These mustard heels</a> from CutesyShoes are a no-brainer. They&#8217;re inexpensive, patent and have a nifty retro appeal. Would you believe <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/bp8p5l57">this yellow blouse</a> is from Charlotte Russe? I fell in love with it when I saw it. It&#8217;s got a studious vibe going on, making it work-appropriate, but with the right jeans and heels, you could transform this into a pretty great going-out shirt.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/mlvygjkg"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/ml/vy/mlvygjkg/mlvygjkg-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/hkw9t8k1"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/hk/w9/hkw9t8k1/hkw9t8k1-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/97kkwq2l"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/97/kk/97kkwq2l/97kkwq2l-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/g6j7373y"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/g6/j7/g6j7373y/g6j7373y-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/bp8p5l57"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/bp/8p/bp8p5l57/bp8p5l57-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/4c3564nt"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/4c/35/4c3564nt/4c3564nt-200.jpg" /></a><br />
<a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/drsrtdrt"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/dr/sr/drsrtdrt/drsrtdrt-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/7748bl3f"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/77/48/7748bl3f/7748bl3f-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/glw5x693"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/gl/w5/glw5x693/glw5x693-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/dyw1nfwd"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/dy/w1/dyw1nfwd/dyw1nfwd-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/46tqjzsw"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/46/tq/46tqjzsw/46tqjzsw-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/m42slvnm"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/m4/2s/m42slvnm/m42slvnm-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Purple</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve fallen in love with the color purple. I used to loathe it&#8211;I refused to wear it, even try something on if it hinted at &#8220;indigo.&#8221; But, I&#8217;ve come around, and the virtues of purple are many. It&#8217;s flattering, easy to pull off and quite the versatile shade. Also, since I was engaged wearing a purple dress, there&#8217;s a bit of sentimental feeling left for <em>all </em>purple clothing as a result.</p>
<p><strong>Jackie&#8217;s Favorite Purple Picks: </strong>BCBG is one of my favorite designers, as you&#8217;ll know if you read my Stylefeeder or Tastemaker posts regularly. These <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/r41nm4mc">BCBGirl heels</a> are a good example of why I dote so on their designs. It&#8217;s got a super-chunky heel&#8211;always a plus, as they&#8217;re easy to walk in. The buckle adds a professional touch, and the darker purple color makes them suitable for work without being loud. I&#8217;m also a sucker for anything romantic and ruffle-y, so <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/16w9f61d">this indigo dress</a> really caught my eye.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/r41nm4mc"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/r4/1n/r41nm4mc/r41nm4mc-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/063b2rqf"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/06/3b/063b2rqf/063b2rqf-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/nrypxh39"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/nr/yp/nrypxh39/nrypxh39-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/2s3yyywk"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/2s/3y/2s3yyywk/2s3yyywk-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/q7zqfcmh"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/q7/zq/q7zqfcmh/q7zqfcmh-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/16w9f61d"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/16/w9/16w9f61d/16w9f61d-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/1rhc5gx5"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/1r/hc/1rhc5gx5/1rhc5gx5-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/zf9v8kth"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/zf/9v/zf9v8kth/zf9v8kth-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Green &amp; Orange</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve grouped these colors together because each one is difficult for a different reason. Orange is not flattering as a general rule. Pumpkin orange, that is. It can wash you out, clash with your coloring&#8230;orange is quite problematic. However, I&#8217;ve selected some orange items that tend to run more in the direction of coral-y orange, instead of Halloween-orange. Now, green is difficult, because it&#8217;s got a bit of a preppy vibe going on at times, and at other times, somewhat of a vintage air that you may not always want to give off. Hopefully I&#8217;ve selected enough different shades that you can make up your mind with ease!</p>
<p><strong>Jackie&#8217;s Favorite Green &amp; Orange Picks: </strong>Tunic shirts are so nice for summer: not too clingy, usually made of light fabrics and, as always, featuring a body-flattering cut. The orange-y/coral shade of <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/llkmbbdy">this one</a> from Forever 21 would be complimentary to brown leather sandals and skinny jeans. At first, I wasn&#8217;t too impressed with <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/3lf6b65y">this bright green dress</a> from Charlotte Russe, but once I enlarged the photo,  I fell in love. It looks like a vintage find, and has a naughty-nurse styling that would look good paired against with demure flats, long, loose hair and minimal jewelry. Another favorite, which is more pricey, is <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/4xlyr9f0">this dress</a> from J. Crew. It&#8217;s loose, breezy, wearable and easy to dress up or down.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/ngm9zx8f"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/ng/m9/ngm9zx8f/ngm9zx8f-200.jpg" alt="cute green coat." /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/4mqj126m"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/4m/qj/4mqj126m/4mqj126m-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/llkmbbdy"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/ll/km/llkmbbdy/llkmbbdy-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/fhyd9xjz"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/fh/yd/fhyd9xjz/fhyd9xjz-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/3lf6b65y"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/3l/f6/3lf6b65y/3lf6b65y-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/k7j38p8r"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/k7/j3/k7j38p8r/k7j38p8r-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/1l7zncwc"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/1l/7z/1l7zncwc/1l7zncwc-200.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/4xlyr9f0"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/4x/ly/4xlyr9f0/4xlyr9f0-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/k0dcczrv"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/k0/dc/k0dcczrv/k0dcczrv-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/3ysjvjvl"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/3y/sj/3ysjvjvl/3ysjvjvl-200.jpg" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone who reads lots of fashion or style blogs <em>should </em>have heard of <a href="http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com">The Sartorialist</a>. It&#8217;s an intelligent, photo-filled fashion blog filled with inspiring photographs of everyday people in interesting outfits on the streets in various cities.</p>
<p>A lot of the time you have to assume that the people Sartorialist founder Scott Schuman photographs are wearing vintage or secondhand finds because of the uniqueness of their clothing. Schuman does not often snap someone in identifiable clothing&#8211;i.e. anything with bold logos or recognizable graphics. The exception to the vintage assumption is, naturally, NY Fashion Week. The photos he takes in and around Bryant Park feature a lot of stylish women probably wearing a lot of expensive clothing. I doubt women wear anything from a secondhand shop to Fashion Week&#8230;unless it&#8217;s secondhand designer!</p>
<p>How can you emulate the cool, street-style of these women given their 15 seconds of fame via <a href="http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com">The Sartorialist</a>?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll show you.</p>
<p><img src="http://img29.picoodle.com/img/img29/4/2/12/f_sartol7m_501e2c0.jpg" /></p>
<p>This girl has managed to look both stylish, individual AND comfortable. Luckily, <a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com">Victoria&#8217;s Secret</a> makes <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/z2n41mn1">a dress</a> similar to the one she&#8217;s wearing:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/z2n41mn1"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/z2/n4/z2n41mn1/z2n41mn1-200.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a></p>
<p>Her gray shoes add a bit of flavor, where black shoes would have just melted into her tights. <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/p9tl2k35">Try these </a> from <a href="http://www.payless.com">Payless</a>. They&#8217;re cute and <em>really </em>inexpensive. To finish off, a <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/nvhq4204">black coat</a> with a great cut and trendy quarter-length sleeves.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/p9tl2k35"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/p9/tl/p9tl2k35/p9tl2k35-200.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/nvhq4204"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/nv/hq/nvhq4204/nvhq4204-200.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-234"></span></p>
<p><img src="http://img32.picoodle.com/img/img32/4/2/12/f_sartol4m_a865117.jpg" /></p>
<p>The 50&#8217;s flair this woman has going on manages not to look like a costume because she paired the slightly vintage-y dress with really modern shoes and a clean-cut trenchcoat.</p>
<p>I love the vibrant pink of the <a href="http://www.target.com">Isaac Mizrahi for Target</a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/79c1p5ps">dress</a> coupled with the metallic <a href="http://www.forever21.com">Forever21</a> <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/p37cyf5x">heels</a> (only $20) and a <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/3c3k122l">khaki trench</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/79c1p5ps"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/79/c1/79c1p5ps/79c1p5ps-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/p37cyf5x"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/p3/7c/p37cyf5x/p37cyf5x-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/3c3k122l"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/3c/3k/3c3k122l/3c3k122l-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><img src="http://img33.picoodle.com/img/img33/4/2/12/f_sartol3m_5c9ed77.jpg" /></p>
<p>This woman has great universal style. You could wear this look in any city around the world and still be considered chic. It&#8217;s practical, comfortable and a little edgy, too.</p>
<p>First, you must start with a great pair of <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/krpc4bsf">opaque gray tights</a>. <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/krpc4bsf">This pair</a> from <a href="http://urbanoutfitters.com">Urban Outfitters</a> is good quality and a great price (less than $15). Then, add a pretty printed dress (with sleeves, if possible), like <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/wpsq8jqz">this one</a> from <a href="http://alloy.com">Alloy.com</a>. <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/zqy5d249">For the coat</a>, make sure you have one that&#8217;s body conscious (not too puffy), but still substantial and warm and not too fussy. For only $25, <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/tjbfxdwb">these mary jane heels</a> from <a href="http://alloy.com">Alloy.com</a> should do the trick nicely for footwear. All that&#8217;s left is an inexpensive, warm, cozy <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/tjbfxdwb">scarf</a> like this one from <a href="http://forever21.com">Forever21</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/krpc4bsf"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/kr/pc/krpc4bsf/krpc4bsf-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/wpsq8jqz"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/wp/sq/wpsq8jqz/wpsq8jqz-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/zqy5d249"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/zq/y5/zqy5d249/zqy5d249-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/tjbfxdwb"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/tj/bf/tjbfxdwb/tjbfxdwb-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/qpgp1xmr"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/qp/gp/qpgp1xmr/qpgp1xmr-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><img src="http://img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/4/2/12/f_sartol9m_7e51238.jpg" /></p>
<p>For the more daring, try copying this girl&#8217;s outfit. The shoes really make the whole thing come together, and although I&#8217;m a little scared to try wearing high-top Chucks with leggings myself, feel free to try and it and let me know if you can make it work like this woman did!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/cvhswcyh">High-top red Converse sneakers</a> are the obvious things to begin shopping for. After you procure them, you&#8217;ll need a <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/n4781bxz">warm, knit pair of gray leggings</a> to keep your legs warm since you aren&#8217;t wearing any pants (and it&#8217;s cold outside, silly!) Get a <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/1pqn1v3j">long, black cardigan</a> to go over your leggings too: although this woman is wearing a very uniquely cut coat, it might be easier to get away with a cardigan for every day. For variations on the top half, try a longer trenchcoat, a trapeze dress (belted or unbelted) or a long tunic in a monochromatic color.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/cvhswcyh"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/cv/hs/cvhswcyh/cvhswcyh-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/n4781bxz"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/n4/78/n4781bxz/n4781bxz-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/1pqn1v3j"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/1p/qn/1pqn1v3j/1pqn1v3j-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><img src="http://img02.picoodle.com/img/img02/4/2/12/f_sartol6m_52fcde2.jpg" /></p>
<p>In the winter, the coat really makes your entire outfit, as this woman shows. To avoid spending unnecessary money because it&#8217;s so close to spring, invest in a coat that will take you through the chilly March/April mornings, but will also work for the freezing temperatures right now. A plaid print, <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/lqvq629g">like this Soo Lee one</a> from <a href="http://asos.com">ASOS</a> is a good choice. Every woman should also have <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/z2px1c0g">a quilted bag</a>, whether it&#8217;s Chanel or not. <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/z2px1c0g">This one</a> from <a href="http://shopsueyboutique.com">Shopsueyboutique.com</a> looks <em>just </em>enough like Chanel to be passable, but not <em>too much</em> that it screams &#8220;knock-off!&#8221; <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/jlks3wmv">Flat boots</a>, also, are in my opinion, a closet necessity. You can wear them with literally everything&#8211;leggings, tights, jeans, dresses&#8230;see?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/lqvq629g"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/lq/vq/lqvq629g/lqvq629g-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/z2px1c0g"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/z2/px/z2px1c0g/z2px1c0g-200.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/jlks3wmv"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/jl/ks/jlks3wmv/jlks3wmv-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><img src="http://img30.picoodle.com/img/img30/4/2/12/f_sartol10m_b039b39.jpg" /></p>
<p>The first thing I noticed in this photo were the woman&#8217;s shoes. There&#8217;s something about <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/yv7whcnp">ankle-length booties</a> with tights that looks really chic and put-together right now. Who knows, in 6 months, ankle-length boots may recede back into unpopularity, but I think they look great right now.  <a href="http://asos.com">ASOS</a> has a sale on <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/yv7whcnp">this amazing pair.</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/yv7whcnp"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/yv/7w/yv7whcnp/yv7whcnp-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Have a great week everyone, and enjoy shopping for your own sartorial goodies!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Elle Macpherson said this great quote:
&#8220;I used to wear heels because I wanted to show people I wasn&#8217;t ashamed of being tall. But I don&#8217;t wear them any more because you don&#8217;t have to wear heels to be beautiful. I can&#8217;t even remember the last time I wore heels.&#8221;

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Elle Macpherson said this <em>great </em>quote:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I used to wear heels because I wanted to show people I wasn&#8217;t ashamed of being tall. But I don&#8217;t wear them any more because you don&#8217;t have to wear heels to be beautiful. I can&#8217;t even remember the last time I wore heels.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I was 5&#8242;11&#8221; by the time I was 15, and ever since then I&#8217;ve dodged questions about my basketball playing, volleyball playing or modeling ability (or lack thereof.) To clear things up: I played basketball in junior high, never cared for volleyball and the only time I model is for THF.</p>
<p>Nearly every tall woman has similar problems. Finding pants is impossible. Every knee-length skirt looks mini on you. You may have long legs, but you can&#8217;t find pajama bottoms to cover your ankles. Being tall as a woman is simultaneously the best and worst thing in the world. You feel empowered when you walk down the street, but end up in tears in the dressing room because pants just don&#8217;t fit.</p>
<p>I harbor such a hatred of changing rooms from all the disappointment of never finding pants that, to this day, I&#8217;ll rarely try anything on. I&#8217;d rather buy it and take it home and return it, than stand in a barren, too-bright changing room trying to pull pants down on my hips so they fit my 37-inch inseam (35 inches, plus two extra inches to allow for heels).</p>
<p>So, to save you the toil and trouble of searching for pants long enough to fit <em>your </em>legs, I&#8217;ve picked out some of my favorite styles in denim and trousers for spring&#8230;along with complimentary shoes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/ndywd5p4"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/nd/yw/ndywd5p4/ndywd5p4-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.alloy.com">Alloy.com</a> is a tall girl&#8217;s fantasy. Pants and jeans come readily in 37&#8221; inseams, running all the way down to the petite 32&#8221;. Skinny jeans are perfect for tall women, too. They compliment your long legs, and you don&#8217;t have to worry as much about length, since skinny jeans look fine hitting you at the ankle, or slightly above, depending on what shoes you want to wear with them. This <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/ndywd5p4">black pair</a> is super-flattering in cut and wash, since <em>everyone</em> looks good in black pants.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/qsnvv0q7"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/qs/nv/qsnvv0q7/qsnvv0q7-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/qsnvv0q7">Try skinny jeans with a </a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/qsnvv0q7">punchy colored shoe</a> for spring. It will update the look and bring it out of the dark winter doldrums.</p>
<p><span id="more-224"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/hg075nms"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/hg/07/hg075nms/hg075nms-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Tall women can get away with wearing trendy jeans a lot easier than most petite women. <a href="http://">Wide-leg jeans</a>, trouser jeans and skinny jeans all look equally good on a tall woman. The proportions work great &#8212; just look at supermodels! Having height on your frame gives you more liberty with how &#8220;fashion-y&#8221; you want to dress. For petite women reading this: check out my posts on <a href="http://blog.stylefeeder.com/2008/01/02/affordable-party-shopping-rachel-bilson-style/">Rachel Bilson</a> and <a href="http://blog.stylefeeder.com/2008/01/24/billionaire-style-at-a-fraction-of-the-price/">Ashley Olsen</a> for good ideas on dressing to fit your height. Once again, these wide-leg jeans are from <a href="http://www.alloy.com">Alloy.com</a>, which (and I can&#8217;t say this enough) is an unbelievable source for denim.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/g1fh0drw"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/g1/fh/g1fh0drw/g1fh0drw-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/g1fh0drw">Wide-leg denim looks good with a substantial shoe. Think square or round toe pumps with a thick heel, oxford booties or, my personal spring favorite, </a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/g1fh0drw">wedges</a>. These are from <a href="http://www.oldnavy.com">Old Navy</a> and are such a steal.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/yvz4q829"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/yv/z4/yvz4q829/yvz4q829-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Every girl needs a pair of go-to jeans that work for every occasion. I like the sophisticated cut and fit of <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/yvz4q829">this pair</a>, but the rips in the front keep the look more casual and appropriate for my age. Sometimes I like to dress more casually like this for weekends or on excursions downtown in DC. Being over-dressed all the time can get really old: these jeans keep the look fresh.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/sg7tjdk4"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/sg/7t/sg7tjdk4/sg7tjdk4-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/sg7tjdk4">Mix more casual denim with more casual shoes, like these </a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/sg7tjdk4">red flats</a>. They also come in a metallic color, as well as black. I have to give these flats props: they are some of the most comfortable shoes I own. The leather molds right to your foot, and you feel like you&#8217;re walking on air. Great if you have to do a lot of walking&#8230;plus, they&#8217;re really cute and quite inexpensive at $35.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/2whv55g7"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/2w/hv/2whv55g7/2whv55g7-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/2whv55g7">Finding good </a><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/2whv55g7">trousers with long inseams</a> is hard, but Alloy.com really changed all that. Although they don&#8217;t offer a huge selection of dress pants, the ones they do have are quite nice. These come in a few colors and are really versatile for work.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/5rx2kln7"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/5r/x2/5rx2kln7/5rx2kln7-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/5rx2kln7">Peep-toe heels</a> like this would dress-up trousers for a more stuffy workplace.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/pblm94w6"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/pb/lm/pblm94w6/pblm94w6-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.delias.com">Delias.com</a>, tween-clothing haven, has grown up a lot since I first started receiving their catalogs. These <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/pblm94w6">skinny jeans</a> have a <em>great</em> wash, but I must warn you tall women out there: <a href="http://www.delias.com">Delias</a> only makes denim up to 36&#8221; inseams, so if you&#8217;re taller, beware and stick with <a href="http://www.alloy.com">Alloy.com</a> instead!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/7yxlp5nh"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/7y/xl/7yxlp5nh/7yxlp5nh-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Skinny jeans tucked into boots with a tunic and jacket is a foolproof outfit idea that I wear <em>all </em>the time. By the way, how great are these <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/7yxlp5nh">Steve Madden boots</a>?! Love the gray color.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/lz1qd4qn"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/lz/1q/lz1qd4qn/lz1qd4qn-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.gap.com">The Gap</a> has a &#8220;tall&#8221; section on their website now, so if you&#8217;re blessed with extra height, be sure to check it out. My only gripe with Gap denim is that there can be variations of fit within each size. For instance, you may try on three pairs of size 4&#8217;s in the <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/lz1qd4qn">Long &amp; Lean</a> style, and they will <em>all </em>fit differently and have slightly different lengths. Be cautious when purchasing their jeans online since you can&#8217;t try them on. But, if you are tall and need long inseams, online from the <a href="http://www.gap.com">Gap</a> is the only way to go: their in-store longs are often not quite long enough.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/m9yv7m7b"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/m9/yv/m9yv7m7b/m9yv7m7b-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Since Gap denim is so classic and preppy, shake things up with your <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/8qb5g5qp"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/8q/b5/8qb5g5qp/8qb5g5qp-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Now for the big leagues: <a href="http://www.tallcouture.com">Tall Couture</a> is an invaluable website for tall women, offering links to other sites with clothing for tall women as well as offering a huge selection of their own. If you prefer higher-end brands for your lower half, <a href="http://www.tallcouture.com">Tall Couture</a> is the site for you. These <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/8qb5g5qp">Hudson trouser jeans</a> come in long inseams, and you can&#8217;t argue with the fit.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/x2sd6ps6"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/x2/sd/x2sd6ps6/x2sd6ps6-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>These <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/x2sd6ps6">mod wedges</a> would really compliment the flare of the Hudson jeans.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/zq1ly3v1"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/zq/1l/zq1ly3v1/zq1ly3v1-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>These <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/zq1ly3v1">trousers</a> are a little more trendy than the other pants I&#8217;ve shown, but if you don&#8217;t want to look like a clone at the office, why not go for it?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/lw74flqt"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/lw/74/lw74flqt/lw74flqt-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Because the trousers above are so trendy, go for a more simple <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/lw74flqt">shoe</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/lw9czwfh"><img src="http://sc4.stylefeeder.com/thumb/lw/9c/lw9czwfh/lw9czwfh-200.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/lw9czwfh">Sailor pants</a> always strike me as a little flirty and mischievous. I&#8217;d wear this <a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com">Banana Republic</a> pair to work with a button-down tucked into them. Subtle sexiness at its best!</p>

<p>And my favorite shoe of the moment: these <a href="http://www.stylefeeder.com/item/mtv4xc82">color-blocked Steve Maddens</a>. They come in three color combos and look a lot more expensive than they are. I&#8217;ll be watching for them to go on sale&#8211;effects of the student budget, you know.</p>
