Mary asks…
What is a good outfit to wear in a fashion show?
I'm 16 and I'm going to be in a high school fashion show. I need to get two full outfits from any where I want. The school will reimburse me up to $150 I need to know what I should wear. Links are great. Thanks.

Summer-y: bright colored (Neon and color blocking) tribal print neon tank floral top Lace/crochet tops and dresses nautical shirts crop tops for sure!!! Flowy cardigans or lacey/ see through flowy blouses, Bodycon Skirts- Good with loose top White or Khaki capris White jeans In detail: sun dresses<-- Adorable to wear with a cardigan, statement jewelry, and sandals! Lace/crochet tops, nautical tops (stripes, navy & white) These 2 are my favorite summer trends! Looks good with a statement piece (Long necklaces with a giant gemstone/pendant/design, owls, Feathers! Feather earrings! Gold studded bracelets! Multiple friendship bracelets<- Nordstrom has a lot) Popular= crop tops/ Dolman tops! Pretty much anything flowy! Cardigans (one flowy or lacey and another short sleeved sleeved one) You can get them at Forever 21, Macy's, etc. For plain ones you can get them at Nordstrom too! Shoes: Sandals: Gold- Steve madden! And now those tan,leather ones with many straps! Flip-Flops: Striped, colorful, metallic- Havaianas Also try them with a bow/flower in the middle TOMS- eco, and helps children in LDC's Sperry- Cute! Get shoes at: A.M. Eagle Urban outfitters Dillard's, Nordstrom, macy's Stop at Retail stores like Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, Macy's, or dillard's. I'm pretty sure Nordstrom has TOMS and all of them have havaianas, Steve Madden, and Sperry's and cute clothes! Stop at stores that buy extra inventory from department stores like T.J. Maxx or Marshalls which also have designer names (Juicy, Guess, Steve Madden, Coach) Common- Abercrombie, A&F, A.M. Eagle, VS PINK For trendy stores try Forever21. And other favorite trendy stores of mine are: Urban outfitters!! Anthropologie!!! Free People!! Zara/ H&M/ Bebe Vs Pink (This might be common) Fall: Haha! The Fall runways shows came out a few days ago but here is just the general gist of it: 70s fashion Like the '50s and '60s coming back, so are the '70s! There are two main aesthetics: '70s bohemian, and '70s sophisticated glamour. This includes dresses that fall like shimmering water in the evening and high-waist pants with elegant blouses by day! High waisted wide-leg pants or flares, smartly belted in.Neat bow-blouses, especially ones with billowing or bishop sleeves. Particularly great are fabrics like silk and satin.Roll neck sweaters tucked into pants or skirts. Also layering over beaded necklaces or a vest! Pleats- Popular in spring and also for fall! However, then pleats will be worn paired socks or tights and heels, and some cosy layers on top. A rock-chic pair of boots, mixed styles for contrasts (like flowly pleated skirts with a bohemian fur or a tough biker jacket), etc.... Fur Clothing- as always... Bell Bottoms- aka Flare jeans Wide Leg Pants Accessories: Leather-ware harness Choker necklaces Cuff bracelets! Studs Colors: This year fall is slightly different! Bright colors are also going to be trendy with fall! Black Olive Bronze shades? Midnight blue, silver, and gray shades Forest green and plum Oh! And I think that the popular tribal print will be slightly reinvented as a trend for Autumn too! Uhh Feather, Tribal, Army green will be popular in both seasons! Dress nonchalantly. Don't overdo it or under do it by wearing sweats. I think the 2nd and 3rd days are the days you should wear you cute new stuff :D. Be different! Oh! I was going to add... You should also buy cute jackets like white jean jacket, cropped jean jacket, etc over dresses (very cute) or tanks that don't meet dresscode and Miss me jeans, uggs, Juicy couture, Pink hoodies, Coach bags are also popular
Nancy asks…
Where can I get some cute prom shoes with out spending a fortune?
I have been searching, but everywhere I go is way too expensive.
Our pick of the answers:
Macy's has THE BEST shoe sales. They've always got racks upon racks of good shoes for a minimum of 40% off. Often times if you go during the weekdays (M-Th) before the evening, they will have a little sign that says "Take an additional 25% off before 1pm" on top of the already 40% off sign. I cant tell you how many hundreds of dollars i've saved on shoes from shopping there. Last fancy pair of shoes I bought were some GUESS wedged peep-toes, and I only paid $39 for them. However, be prepared to look hard for the good ones and there are always LOTS of pushy housewives there during the day. So beware of competition :)
