Dandelions Dress

Check out this "Many Dandelions Dress" from Francesca's. We love the buttons on the top and the dandelion print is a great detail. The dress looks great with heels or a cute pair of flats, and a cardigan will keep you warm on a crisp fall day. Buy it online or in the store for $44.

Clutches Galore

Happy Monday, Chic Deac readers! We had a wonderful weekend with another football win (although neither of us demonstrated any defensive ability). We've been collecting some clutches on Etsy waiting to do one big post. We love clutches and think these ones are perfect for any Wake Forester.

It may be past Labor Day, but we contend that seersucker accessories are still permissible. We love the shape of the antique frame and there is lining, meaning it should hold up well over time. The seersucker flower and pearl detail cap off the look. Buy it here for $45.

This next one feels like it belongs with a stylish fall outfit while you're walking across some crunching leaves. The felt construction appears to be sturdy, and for only $38, it's a great buy. Check it out here.


Lastly, we love the mustard look of the Italian linen and silk on this clutch. The rose is simply perfect and would be a great compliment to any LBD. Buy it here on Etsy.

Presbyterian Tailgate Winners

Here's a collection of last week's tailgate photos from the game against Presbyterian. Send in your Duke tailgate pictures this week for a chance to win a prize next Friday afternoon. This week's winner is announced at the very end. They get a $10 Simply Yummy gift certificate!









And the winner is - the first picture, sent in by Chiara Singleton, a senior at Wake. Keep sending in your pictures (chicdeacstyle@gmail.com) and YOU could be our next winner.

Cheap Chic Friday

Cheap Chic Friday is back again, just in time for the Duke game this weekend. Francesca's is a store in the Thruway Shopping Center - they have a wide array of dresses, but we are particularly liking this $20 dress. The flowers add a nice touch and so does the crochet detail (just make sure you're wearing enough sunscreen so that doesn't become the world's weirdest tan line). Buy the dress here or at the store in person!


The cotton will keep you nice and cool. Game day weather is looking good, so enjoy your tailgate and all four quarters!

Buy This, Not That

Continuing in our new tradition of "Wear This, Not That" posts where we post more affordable versions of some of our favorite designer duds, we have decided to do a post on the LBSD. Oh my gosh, you say, am I that out of it that I don't know a fashion acronym? No, not really. It's just something new we came up with here at Chic Deac - it's the Little Black Shirtdress. Look at the picture below. Which of these is nearly $300 and which is only $25?


The dress on the left, from Rebecca & Drew is a $285 dress. It's gorgeous, and custom made, but that's a very expensive shirt dress. The version on the right is from Target and is only $25. We love both of these looks, but cheap works for us!

Happy shopping and remember to send us your tailgate pictures TODAY! We have a lot of entries, but could always use more! Chicdeacstyle@gmail.com

Gahhh, How Could We Forget??

We just got a lovely little e-mail reminder from a Phi Mu sister and Chic Deac spy that Charity Denim is happening TODAY on campus. It started this morning and runs until 3:30pm in Benson 401. If you haven't been to Charity Denim before, please stop by. If you have been before, you already know you should go.

Great clothes at discount prices and the proceeds go to the Children's Miracle Network. They take cash, credit and Deacon Dollars. So go spend some money - all in the name of a great cause and good jeans!

Here's the Facebook event for more details. And as always, friend us on Facebook for more info!

Chic Phones

Is your phone just a boring black or silver? Apparently you can dress up a whole assortment of phone styles with Deac phone cases. They aren't stickers so they aren't going to fall off after a few months of using it. The prices for custom cases are fairly reasonable (around $30, or less, depending on what you want). It's an easy and fun way to display your pride on a daily basis. Click here for more information!

Remember to take the time to send in your tailgate pictures before the end of the day! Chicdeacstyle@gmail.com
