Reader-Inspired Style: A Little Slouch
You know how your parents always told you not to slouch? Well, sometimes parents just don't understand. Adding a little slouch to your look can give a cool, effortless spin on an otherwise classic ensemble. Fab reader steffysprosandcons has totally perfected the slouch — and you can get her look by pairing a pleated mini with a simple tank, then layering a slouchy, heather-gray sweatshirt ($40) on top. Accessories are key, as you don't want to look sloppy. Dress up the look with a pair of black lace-up ankle boots ($60, originally $80), a structured handbag, and a cool, Spring-ready straw hat ($55).
Unique vs. Cheap Chic
We're always weighing a killer, unique purchase against other, maybe more budget-friendly buys, so we totally relate to this OnSugar blogger's dilemma. Weigh in on Beauty and the Budget's fashion query and help her decide which is the better purchase?
I have been obsessed with this 3-D Mesh Jumper since the beginning of this year when I first spotted it on Lookbook.nu. It's a really great piece from American Apparel, and even though it's a bit pricey, I still think it's worth the money. However, I still can't bring myself to spend $90 on a sweater. I was hoping it would be on sale by now, but I am beginning to think it's too beautiful to be a mark down. Nonetheless, I still find myself debating on whether or not to buy it . . .
And when you look at all of the other great pieces you can get for the same price, it's makes the decision even more difficult.
Which choice do you prefer?
