Shapers: They're not the most beautiful things, but such a necessity! They help stop the jiggle effect, especially when wearing fitted dresses and skirts. The only problem is that they tend to be on the pricier side, especially the Spanx brand. I was helping a friend update her work wardrobe recently when a lightbulb went off in my head. She needed shaper shorts for her new dress but didn't want to spend $50.

If you're in a pinch for a Halloween costume, both for time and for money, and want to be able to recite a really great line throughout your spooky evening, consider being a Working Girl.
Now is prime time for an ode to this '80s power chick flick: shoulder pads are in. We all have the office basics for this, but insert the largest shoulder pads you can find into your blazer. Tease your curls, wear your pearls, and slather on the red lipstick. Bonus funny points for wearing white sneakers instead of sexy black pumps. "I have a head for business and a body for sin."

Naturegraffiti caught the perfect burst of light in this photo. Notice how the soft tones reflect off her sequin embellished blazer in the most editorial manner. My favorite thing about her 'fit? Her yummy suede Miu Miu boots, of course!
Here's what she has on:
Jacket: Vintage
Tee: Hanes
Shorts: American Apparel
Necklace: Vintage
Boots: Miu Miu
Bracelets: Unknown

fashiontoronto was in a sluggishly casual mood but that sure didn't stop her from looking lazy and lovely. The open-neck tee gave her outfit a feminine touch and I heart those Chucks!

A recent experience rendered me the conclusion that jogging while simultaneously trying to pull out a wedgie is no fun. These Hanes Wedgie-Free Panties ($7) are guaranteed to keep things in place while you're working out, hiking, or just lounging around. I know these knickers aren't the most fashionable and you probably won't wear them in an attempt to seduce your beau, but doesn't everyone deserve a comfy panty day?
Ever the optimist, mic_check_chell has plenty of sunshine to spread around with that bright yellow top of hers.
I love how the accessories she paired with such a simple base (tee and jeans) really make the outfit Fab. The scarf tied at the neck and the big tan hobo bag lend a bohemian feel, but the cap-toed flats keep the look from being too "done." What an easily put together great look!

Tsk-tsk LL cool girl. You're back in your party clothes and hopefully staying back on the wagon...time will tell. I think this bronze metallic dress would look much better if she was sporting her signature red hair, which is the look you and I both prefer for LL. Nonetheless, she sure makes the party life look fun!

Here is a fashion tribute to the tidey whitey. While lingerie brands such as Agent Provocateur have the racy lingerie genre covered, whatever happened to the simplicity of a sweet, white cover up? We've seen them throughout history - from Janet Leigh in 'Bye Bye Birdie' to Sigourney Weaver's eerie exposé scene in 'Alien' to Calvin Klein's infamous underwear ads. No doubt the tighty whitey is a classic, maybe it's just taking a hiatus.
