The colors are vibrant. First one is Teal, 2nd is Daffodil yellow, the last one is Jetty Grey. The graphics certainly add cuteness to this summery tank top from American Eagle. The front AND back V necklines gives a sexy touch which I never say no to . Just a little bit, not too much, of course. For $14.95, Hey, bring on the humidity .

Any of these tank tops would look great with either jeans, shorts or skirts. BTW, there’s also a white version of that Daffodil one but I didn’t include it here since I was only going for the colors .

I would’ve worn my Red Heels with this ensemble to match the red wide belt but I decided I’d continue wear the black heels since I wanted to wear my long cross necklace and black beads dangling eaarings. I’m glad I opted for it coz the red belt accentuated the whole look by itself. I would wear this dress by itself but my legs are still nursing a few more scars from the bug bites I’ve gotten 2 weekends ago.

I wore this gray mini-dress, slim black trouser and heels ensemble to Church on Mother’s Day. It was actually a last minute decision coz I planned days before to wear a white dress but my legs are tattered with bug bites from when my husband and I lounged in our deck Friday night. My husband was spared but for some reason I always end up being bitten, incessantly. We used the same bug spray for crying out loud. He said maybe because I’m too sweet. Perhaps,

I usually wear this color during Fall season but I thought I could get away with it right now by accentuating it with a pink beads necklace and pink beads bangle bracelet. Wearing a mini-dress over a trouser worked perfectly for Church in my opinion. This would also work for a date night out with hubby. For a daytime regular look I suggest wearing the mini-dress over jeans.

Metro7 mini-dress from Wal-Mart, on sale for $3. Black slim trouser which I don’t remember where I bought it..lol, sorry. Black strappy heels from PAYLESS. If I remember it right, I think it was a BOGO purchase 3 years ago.

I’m doing a Men’s Graphic-On-One Side Tee series over at SheKnowsBest.com so I thought I’d do a women series here as well.

I found this Sugar and Rox eagle rose tee from FiveTone for only $4.95. It used to be $29.95. Nice eh? If they have it in medium size I’ll be all over it. So lucky for you small sizes, you can have it to yourself. Hmmph.

I love graphic tees. They’re perfect for regular days just with jeans, shorts or even skirts, like I did with this one.

I have more graphic tees to feature so keep coming back

I can never pull off a look like this. We can start with the hat and I’m done..lol. My head is too big. She’s doing it though, fabulously. The scarf around her neck definitely adds a playful yet elegant touch. The beige(?) shoes from Target fits perfectly with the length of her Bermuda shorts. So YES, I may never see myself in this outfit but KUDOS to her for looking so great in it.

Last Saturday was our 10th Year Anniversary. For my dinner date outfit I decided to just go casual: blouse and jeans with heels. I actually planned on wearing a dress days before but the weather didn’t cooperate so jeans it was. My husband matched my casual look by wearing his own Levi’s jeans and a long-sleeves button up shirt. If he wore his khakis, the rain spats would’ve been all over it so the jeans was a more practical wear.

Moving on to my outfit , it’s a burgundy butterfly-sleeves V-neck blouse that I bought from RAVE for $9.99 with my Levi’s low-rise jeans and my oh so sexy red heels from PAYLESS.

For the accessories, I went with my 14″ long black/brown beads necklace and gold cylinder earrings from Claire’s. The earrings were actually in a free bag that Claire’s gave my Mother-in-law when we had my daughter’s ear pierced done. Yup, she paid for her grandaughter getting her first bling on .

BTW, I had to don the clothes again this morning to capture the look for you my loyal readers so pardon my face with no make up and unruly hair. I still looked Hot, no?

Originally $66, now on sale for $29.99 from Rampage. This black and white flower print halter dress is definitely a great find to add to our Bold Print dress series.

Remember that multi-print skirt that I went gaga over which I only paid $4.98 from it’s original price of $58? What about those ‘beater tees that I bought in different colors for only $4.88 each? Here they are, in full force . Wearing bold print fabrics can be a litlte tricky once you think about accessories. With that in mind, I stucked to a solid color. There is black on the skirt so I focused on that by wearing my black long necklace with cross pendant and black dangling earrings. The cross necklace gave it a “hippy” look actually. I loved it.

To continue with the black accents, I wore a black flip flops that I bought from the PX 3 years ago.

Oh I adore that skirt. I WANT that skirt…LOL. Using an OLD NAVY tank top to pair with this skirt is brilliant. This is exactly how I planned to wear my multi-print skirt, except for the flats coz I’m really not into them, Sorry. Anyhoo, this looks simple yet oh so beautiful. Notice the tulips in the background? :). Good job snowdens.secret.

When I finally got my wide belts from EBAY, I thought to myself, “hmmmm, SELF, I’m sure there are are outfits we could come up with other than wearing the belts with dresses“. I’ve already wore the white belt with my off the shoulder orange tunic. And I planned on wearing the red one with one of my LBD’s.

Anyhooo, a light bulb went off and my bold printed smocked spaghetti straps babydoll top jumped at me. I’ve heard women say they don’t like wearing smocked tops because it makes them look pregnant. Well, I just found a solution for you. Wrap a belt around it. Wide ones though. Skinny belts wouldn’t work. I found this smocked top at Wal-Mart 3 years ago for $9.99(yes I still remember it), the red belt from Ebay, 2 for $15, L.E.I low-rise Chelsea jeans, $19.99. The Xhilaration green beads necklace from Target(on sale, $3.99) is actually a long one but I turned it into a double-strand look with this top because I know the color will get lost once mixed into the printed smocked top. AND of course to add to the red accent I was going for I wore my oh-so-orgasmic red heels from PAYLESS for shoes. The whole outfit worked perfectly, don’t you think?

Co-incidentally, Sasha thought of accenting her smocked top with belt as well. Sometimes I think we’re twins. Except she’s the prettier and skinnier one :).

If any of you are bothered for the fact that I enumerated every item in my ensemble considering it’s supposed to be in support for the Virginia Tech victims, I just want to say, this is a Fashion blog specifically for styling on a budget. Therefore the focus is fashion. I have written about this tragedy in different blogs I write for.
