Ty from Words & Wardrobes is givin it to us in this look for less! I love it! Her look is young, strong, and very in the spirit of the music festival hippie chic trend a la Nicole Richie that is so hot right now! Her mixing and matching of accessories is amazing!

I admit that I am a Forever 21 fiend, but I will also hit up a thrift store in a heartbeat. On a recent trip to Goodwill, I found–and immediately fell in love with–this homemade handkerchief skirt. I like to get more bang for my buck by purchasing clothing that can be worn year-round, and I look forward to pairing this skirt with with a turtleneck or sweater come fall.”

Again, another supa-dupa fly reader look for less submission. I am so loving this look for less because, although I am in smokin hot Florida, a lot of my Twitter buds have been complaining about cold weather – mostly on the west coast. This look is so perfect for a cool weathered summer day! The glasses and shoes rock and are so on-trend right now. I absolutely love this look and would definitely wear this myself.

Reader Look For Less – Trina Marie Cruz

theLooksForLess — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 21:36:23 +0000

This is going to sound kinda silly, but when I received this reader look for less submission, I nearly got a little choked up. First and foremost, I get so excited that my readers want to participate in “my” blog and I am so happy that I’ve been able to connect with a bunch of girls – my lovely readers, that love fashion as much as I do… and in particular, a look for less :) And secondly, because my Twitter bud @TrinaMarieCruz ROCKED this look for less. I think I’m gonna have to bite her style, cuz I want this entire look!

About this look, Trina Maria wrote, “My style blows hot and cold everyday. It goes from dresses to skirts, trousers and shirts, leggings and jeans, cropped shirts or anything sheen. I can go from girly-girl to man-on-a-girl look. DRESSING UP IS MY WAY OF EXPRESSING MYSELF! :) My look for less is just about less than $80! :)”

Oh, how I love my Trina!!! I met Trina on Twitter when I first started my blog a year ago and she has been such a huge supporter. I’ve always loved her blog, xoxo, Trina and if you haven’t checked it out, you definitely should – I’ve subscribed so that I don’t miss a beat. In fact, if you watched my first video tutorial, then you caught my shout out to her as she was the influence for me to be a little less camera shy.

About this look, Trina wrote, “My style varies from day to day. Some days I’m ultra girly and others I like the edgy look. This entire look was achieved for less than $90!” This look is so my style and I LOVE that she repurposed a necklace as a belt! Thanks again for another fabulously frugal look for less, Trina!

Reader Look For Less – Becca

theLooksForLess — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 03:33:38 +0000

Meet Becca, one of my biggest blog supporters and good Twitter bud (@BPweet). I’m loving her classic meets contemporary style in this pic! I really like the gray, white and black combination with the turquoise pop of color found in her bracelet and earrings! I also really like the bib detail on the blouse. The boots are just, well, totally kick ass!

About her look, Becca wrote, “These skinny stretch cords from Wet Seal are really comfortable and perfect for wearing with boots. I love them with this cardigan, and the ruffle t-shirt makes for more interesting layering.”

I could do an entire category dedicted to my girl Trina’s looks for less because they are so amazing and versatile. No two looks are the same and she wears them all so well. She is so brave with her choices and I always love her use of color.

Trina wrote, “I paired skinny jeans with a flowy bohemian inspired top complete with my trademark: the peacock feather.” Check out more of her love for all things peacock, fabulous, and frugal at her blog http://xoxotrina.com.

Reader Look For Less – Sarah

theLooksForLess — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 18:15:36 +0000

My favorite thing about reader looks for less is that I get to know more about my readers’ style. My personal style is rocker chic glam, but it is important to me to showcase a variety of styles on my blog, and Sarah (@StylishDiva88 on Twitter) is representing in this pic. I love her look for less… it’s eclectic perfection!

Sarah writes, “My style is very eclectic, I don’t stick to one specific style. I just wear what feels comfortable and what I feel works for my body. I’m on the smaller end of plus size and the larger end in normal sizes, so sizes are a bit of a challenge. But my love for fashion and becoming a stylist is what keeps me motivated to find versatile pieces that transcends the trendy world.

I wore this to class, minus the blazer because it was so hot, but for the photo, I wanted the effect of a good blazer to be showcased. I love the skirt because it’s figure flattering. The shoes are pretty comfortable in my opinion.

The blazer and t-shirt I’ve had for some years now. They were both on sale in their respective stores (Kmart and Old Navy). The style of the t-shirt i have is outdated now. It’s still a great comfy t-shirt.”
