My Fashion Budget: October 2012

So, this is apparently a popular segment. And I have oh so much fun doing it, so here are more stylish ladies, and the bargain counterpart. Happy shopping!

I'm a big fan of leggings and baggy sweaters in the winter. It's like wearing stylish pajamas. You just have to make sure to add the style to the comfort!

Bebe Tie Dye Icon Skinny Jean - Grey Tie Dye - $65.40

AGB Sweater, Long-Sleeve Marled Belted Tunic, $32.99

Madden Girl Pritty Bootie - $49.95

Mudd Annie Bird Canvas Tote $32

A good day to night outfit. Just throw a pair of heels and some extra jewelry in your bag to wear this from the office to a date. Although I would throw in a colorful bag and/or shoe so it doesn't look like you're headed to a funeral.

Essential Animal Print Dress w/ Belt, $15.80

Elle Solid Peplum Blazer, $36

C Label Hudson Flat - $34.95

Red by Marc Ecko Ruffled Round Shoulder Bag - $49.95

Mandy Moore has come a long way. She looks stunning and chic in this black and leather combo with red lips and a red clutch. Love this edgy look!

Elle Faux-Leather Jacket, $50.40

Life In Progress™ Skinny Jeans, $24.80

Python Snake Metallic Red Oversized Clutch, $31.99

GUESS Lava Pumps, $49.99

I think I got this from Refinery 29. I don't know about the necklace but the silver skirt and tuxedo jacket are fab for a ritzy night out. Black tights would be cute with this too, and maybe even a metallic scarf.

Tuxedo Jacket, $25.99

Bebe Metallic Pleated Skirt, $59.99

Qupid Mermaid-16 Bootie - $44.95

Rhinestoned Chain Necklace, $10.80

Velvet pants are great for Fall and Winter. I love the monochromatic look here with the pop of color in her clutch and patterned shoes. An updo here is perfect to show off the style.

VELVET CHARLIE SUPER SKINNY PANTS, $99.00

Beaded Collar Shirt, $19.80

Jessica Simpson Libby Foldover Clutch, $19.94

Nine West Women's Flax Pump, $69

The ombre jacket is perfect. I'm not daring enough to do a sheer top with a bra underneath, but whatever works for you. I like the sort of slouchy but skinny leg pants and the combat-style boots (or you could do moto-style booties). The round sunglasses are the best addition to make this outfit so chic.

Dip Dye Blazer, $71.24

Perma-Creased Trousers w/ Belt, $24.80 (I actually have these, they are not too tight like it appears in the picture, they are super flattering and have these cute leather-like details at the pockets.)

BootsiTootsi Motto Boot - $44.95

Black Old MacDonald Round Sunglasses, $12

The pleated mini is so feminine and could be too sexy but this fashionista pairs it with a loose sweater, leather jacket, and funky booties. If you are showing one part of your body, a lot of legs, then keep most of the rest covered up to avoid going from classy to trashy!

Pleated Ribbon Trim Miniskirt, $19.80

Alternative Women's Slouchy Eco Pullover, $26.29

Report Marks Boots (Blue) - Women's Boots - $89.10
Iz Byer California Faux-Leather Crop Moto Jacket, $36.99
Doublju Leather Clutch, 15.49

I love this for work. I hate wearing boring clothes to work. This is professional but super cute and stylish. And you could throw a dressy top and some jewelry for a pop of color in your bag to make this work for happy hour or date night.

JACQUARD TWEED EDITOR ANKLE PANT, $69.90

Sheer Boxy Top, $17.80

Patent Cone Heel Pumps, $22.80

Buckled Bowler, $32.80

I don't even want to hear it. No white after Labor Day? Don't be a fashion racist. This outfit looks good any time. Especially if you live in a climate that doesn't get that cold in the Fall. And besides, they are bone, not white, big difference!

Rafaella Women's Shimmer Georgette Blouse, Gold, $39.99

Basic Essentials Women Skinny Jean Pants - $13.99

OH, and Kohl's will get a Narcisso Rodriguez collection in November! What!?

Brian Atwood Leather Gloves, $49.99
