THIS PRODUCT IS NO LONGER BEING SOLD

Dear Budget Fashionista

I am attending a night wedding aboard a river cruise in Newport Beach. Is it appropriate to wear a floral-ish print skirt, solid color sweater top with pashmina scarf and white sling back shoes? Or is this too “daytime” for a wedding?

A: Although this outfit would be fine for a day time wedding, it’s a little too “day” for a night wedding. The wedding is in the evening on a boat, so think about what you would wear to a dinner on a cruise or what you would wear to a cocktail party.  My advice would be to wear a floral printed cocktail dress (not skirt), like the one shown to the left, for $59.00 at Spiegel.com .

Bluefly Flying Off the Shelves

What: This gorgeous Nicole Miller dress is selling fast at Bluefly—get it while you still can. It’s $252.00, down from $420.00. Click the picture to purchase and browse.

What We Say: Wear this dress to your formal events of the summer. It’s permissible for weddings, since the color is light gold, not white, and there are blue accents. The crinkly fabric transforms the dress from a standard strapless and chic number to a strapless and edgy one. Some of your relatives may want to whip out the iron, but don’t let them—the crinkles make the dress what it is. Pair with gold heels and accessorize with a funky necklace or attention-grabbing earrings.

Site I Like: Coco Myles

So you’re watching Joan Rivers and her clone/daughter Melissa, interview celebrities on the red carpet. Celeb after celeb parades down the red carpet wearing the most fabulous dresses you’ve ever seen You say to yourself “Gee, it would be great to be able to rock that Teri Hatcher’s dress, but I’m broke and I actually have hips.”

Lucky for you, there’s Coco Myles

I love sites that allow me to customize products to my own personal style, so it’s not a surprise that I like Coco Myles. The company takes what other companies like ABS Allen Schwartz, the company known for knocking off red carpet looks, do to a higher level by allowing you to tweak celebrity looks to your own preference and for less than half the price. Customers can select a dress from either their Celebrity Inspired Collection or their more basic collection, chose the color of the dress from over 10 colors and add extras like a sash and/or a shawl, all for under $150, much cheaper than a dress from ABS.

Another reason you’ll love this site—the entire collection is available in sizes 2 to 32, which makes this the PERFECT site for those looking for stylish bridesmaid dresses, a dress to wear to a winter wedding, a prom dress, or a dress to wear to your office’s holiday bash!
