Click on the pictures for more details. Short Sleeves Linen Blouse, $12.59. Margaux Vine necklace, $7.49. Skinny Black belt, $14.99. Mossimo Twisted Seam Jeans, 17.49. Xhilaration Cork Wedge, $16.09. This look is $68.65. All from TARGET.

I’m not saying get the exact same thing. Well you could do that :). These are ideas on how to piece certain items with other items. I bet you didn’t think that I’d entertain that linen blouse?. Wrap a skinny belt around the waist and you are good to go :). You can also wear this blouse and belt combination with black or white trousers and black stilletos. The possibilities are endless :).

From the Wardrobe Remix pool, I picked femmefluffay’s Asian floral print tank top over trouser for Look of the Week. I love the colors. The top, and the necklace. Very bold.

OH MY GOD!, I want this sooooo bad. White trench style tunic top on sale for $14.99. Originally $40. Helllooooo???. I know my Goody’s though. The price will go down even more. But since I’m posting it here, I might have to fight someone off online to get mine. LOL. I’ll add color to this tunic with a wide red or black belt. The grommeted belt with O-ring buckle is cool but I love how I have options to make it even more shall I say, va-va-voom. :).

What’s the best item to go with a jeans and flip flops outfit?. Well a tank top of course. You can’t go wrong with that. For $7.99, you can have one or more, I suggest buying a couple in different colors, from Goody’s of course :).

Wear with with jeans and flip flops during the day. Then at ngiht, wrap a skinny belt on the waist, put on a fitted jacket/blazer, and a pair of high heels and you are ready for a girl’s night out.

This is on sale for only $6 at Kohls. Originally $30 so that’s a STEAL right there. This would look great with a black wide belt over jeans or black trousers.

I found these ‘beater shirts at Wal-Mart. $4.88 each. YUMMY!. Perfect for the warm weather. As you can see, I bought 2 of ‘em. In different colors of course. I was going to pick up a pale blue one as well but I figured I have enough blue in my wardrobe so I opted not to in the end. I adore the flower details.

I’m trying to build up my “nautical” style so when I saw this navy blue stripes tunic I grabbed it too. I knwo it’s a blue one but the red and gray ones didn’t relaly appeal to me. Maybe I’ll go back and pick up the red one some other time since it’s only $5 anyway. Another bargain find from Wal-Mart.

Tube Halter top, $4.98, an old dark blue cardigan, L.E.I Chelsea low rise jeans, $19.99, and multi-wedge from PAYLESS, can’t remember the price. Blue rectangle pendant necklace(JW, can’t remember how much), blue beads, $1 and blue with ruby beads bracelet, $1, for accessories. Like I said, I love blue :). And I’m pretty sure the whole outfit didn’t cost me more than $60.

I’ll never be able to wear skinny jeans, unless I starve myself for 5 straight months(LOL, it’ll never happen) coz I don’t want my huge hips to all of a sudden go medieval on me for painstakingly trying to fit it in one but if I could, I’d start off with the ensemble below. It’s casual and it just makes you feel so put together that you want to say to anyone staring at your ass, “yeah buddy, drool away” :D.

Skinny jeans from Metro7, $19.94. The green stripes sweater is perfect for the Spring’s cool breeze. The hem kinda covers the midriff a little bit which is always a good trick. And, it’s only $11. Kitten heels pointy toe shoes adds sophistication to this look. On sale for $13. The Onyx beads necklace is a little pricey for my taste, $45 but this is just an idea of the kinds of necklace that will look good with the sweater. I’m pretty sure you can find a cheaper one from another store. Overall total is $88.94 so even with the expensive necklace, the whole ensemble is still under $100

This blue lace tube-spaghetti top was originally $14.99 but it was on sale for $4.98. I found it at Goody’s. Blue is my favorite color therefore I don’t walk away from this colored tops especially when they’re on sale. I fell in lvoe with the lace detail on the top too. Perfect for Summer.

Oh how I went bananas when I saw this multi-print skirt from FOR THE REPUBLIC. I love the bold print for the Spring season. Then I saw how the origical price of $58 going down to $4.98 and well, there was no way I was walking away from it. Could you?. Another awesome find from Goody’s. I really wish ya’ll have that store where you live. It’s one of my favorite fashion store who is always having a sale. Ahhhhh.

My husband and I started our own business selling t-shirts, tank tops, and other products with funny, wicked, and kick-ass designs and taglines. Visit us by clicking the logo image below. but first, read our welcome message so you’ll get an idea of the kind of sense of humor my husband and I possess which reflects all the designs you’ll see in our shop ;). Thanks!!

Welcome to Defiled Design, Skatewear, ETC. All designs are our own creations. As of now we are a new business hell bent on starting out small and ripping our way to the top like a maggot eating its way out of a carcass. As our business expands we hope to add more variety and products and increase our quality of apparel at a reasonable price. We dont mark up our prices to fill our pockets. We mark up the price slightly higher than base price to make a small profit and expand our product line. We dont want our customer to pay higher than what we would be willing to pay for a product. With your help we can be the next big thing, and who knows what possibilities await us! Check back often, we add new designs frequently. PERSEVERE!

According to Instyle, not only bold colors which I somewhat tackled yesterday are in for this much awaited season, Frilly blouses are in as well. So today, I will show you affordable versions of the expensive designer ones. Styling on a budget is what this blog is for in the first place, right?

A reader e-mailed me asking where she could find the blouses with jewelry/brooch in the middle that the lovely ladies from Bravo’s Reality TV Real Housewives from Orange County love to wear. I knew excatly what she was talking about coz I just recently found myself watching the show. Oh that Slade is a pig…LOL. Jo and Shane should definitely hook up ;). Anyhoo, as promised, here are the blouses I found online. I hope it helps her and anyone else looking for those fashion tops. Click on the images to find out more information on each of them. I made sure none of the items are over $100.

Printed V-neck blouse with O ring from Goody’s for $19.99

This Rhinestone Halter top is $19.99

I love this keyhole halter top from Bebe. It’s $59 so I’m probabaly just going to enjoy looking at it..hehehe.

I wouldn’t wear this coz it’s just too, errrrr, Pamela Anderson-esque. But I’ve added it here for options. This tube blouse is $27.99

I’d rock this pink rhinestone halter top but it’s currently not availabe :(. Bookmark it still though, just in case.

Sleeve drape front top with ring is $27.60. You can get it in black as well.

I like this flutter waist halter top too. It’s only $19.99.

I also love this white chiffon blouse with brooch. It’s from Spiegel for $69(Misses), $79(Women). A little pricey for my pocket so I’ll just dream about it :).

If you’re really a big fan of the show, visit the website that the wives started themselves. The site has it’s own store where you can buy their real OC brand. By the way, I’m not claiming the ladies would actually wear these blouse/tops that I found online. These are just versions of what they are wearing :).
