Cheap & Chic Tailgate Look

Polka Dot Dress from Macy's, $19.99

Leatherette T-Strap Sandals from Forever 21, $7.50

Trend Alert: Sheer Polka Dots

 

Celebs have been rocking the sheer polka dot look a lot this summer. Anne Hathaway was spotted (forgive us for the bad pun) in Valentino at Haute Couture week in Paris, Kate Winslet at a recent premiere. Liv Tyler wore a Stella McCartney look at one of her events. We like the look in general but think we need to find a more wearable version for ourselves.

 

Thus, we found this cute dress from Urban Outfitters with a great back and more subtle polka dots on the skirt. This would be an awesome pick for a date function this fall. We're also debating about sheer tights with polka dots - obviously this decision can be made when it actually gets colder out. 

Are you wearing sheer polka dots this summer, chic ones? If so, send in your cute looks to chicdeacstyle@gmail.com.

Casual Summer Style

The black drawstring dress is a great look for summer. Dress it up with heels or make it casual with sandals. We highly recommend wearing with Ray-Bans if you want to be the definition of laid back summer chic.

Cascading Style

Looking for something to lengthen those legs on graduation weekend? Check out this cascading trim dress from The Gap. The ruffles elongate the shape of your body and if you wear nude heels like the model, you'll be set. 

Showing Off in Stripes

This is the perfect dress for a fun graduation party. Pair it with some cute sky high heels and fun jewelry to complete the sexy look!

Oh La Garconne - You are Dreamy

Loving the print on this cotton dress from La Garconne. You know, in case you have $470 to drop on a graduation dress. With the right heels and jewelry, you'll be a stunner on graduation weekend. 

And if you don't, have 500 bucks in the bank ... Check out this darling dress from Urban Outfitters.

Stylish Lace Dress

We love this dress from the Outnet. Try it with a skinny gold belt and strappy gold sandals for a chic look. 

We like this skinny gold belt from Urban Outfitters and like the $20 price even better!

Hang in There ...

Spring will be here before we know it. If you're really itching for 75 degree days, let these Emerson Made outfits give you some warm weather inspiration until they arrive. Hold on! You can make it!

The sunwashed pocket skirt. Oh the sunwashed pocket skirt. 

Oh, how we adore thee, the black mod dress. 

You just can't go wrong in this dress. 

Doesn't this outfit make you want to go to Charleston? Preferably for a dinner date? It's so romantic and effortless, all at once. And yes, feel free to ask us on a date to Charleston. We'll take you up on the offer, especially if we can wear this outfit. 

H&M Dress

On sale now. We would link you to the dress, but H&M still doesn't sell their clothes online. Why? We're not sure. Not selling online may be a poor choice, but wearing this dress isn't!

Recipe for the Perfect Outfit

Ingredients:

1 Anthro Mini Dress

1 J.Crew Gardenia Necklace

1 Pair of Stunning Gladiator Heels

Instructions:

Preheat oven to HOT. Mix dress with gardenia necklace to draw all attention to your gorgeous face. Add gladiator heels for lengthening effect.

Warning:

Heads will turn. Be prepared for double takes. 

Day 3

You're almost there. Hang on! You can do it. Keep your chin up and enjoy these Day 3 looks. This first dress is pricey at just under $400, but it's got some personality and the cut is very nice.

The second look is a beautiful yellow dress from Milly. We think it's great and will surely help you stand out. This shade of yellow works on simply every skin tone, so you're bound to look great. 

Now on to some less expensive, but equally flattering looks ... The beads on this dress give it a unique look, but it's still very stylish. Plus at $36, who can resist??

We love this lace dress - but beware, it will only look good on girls with tan or olive complexions at this time of year. Being one blob of a color is not a good look for anyone. Only $23 at Forever 21. 

Lastly, this chain link dress from Forever 21 is a cute look for Day 3. Plus we love the exposed back zipper!

Cheap Chic Fridays

Cheap Chic is back with this adorable embroidered address from Forever 21. We could easily see this look with a cute pair of cowboy boots. At $22.80, you won't regret this purchase!

Ring in 2011 like a True Chic Deac

New Year's Eve is always a fun opportunity to glam things up. Large amounts of glitter and shorter hemlines can be proudly worn on this day. To simplify your NYE shopping, we found a fun dress in several price ranges. Remember to celebrate to the fullest and be safe! And listen to the Auld Lang Syne version from the Sex and the City soundtrack (the first one, because we obviously all want to pretend the second never happened) for a sentimental moment before 2010 departs.

This nude dress from Forever 21 has the perfect gold shimmer that will draw all eyes towards you on NYE. Play it up with some shimmery accessories. At $20, you won't mind if a fellow party goer spills a little champagne on your dress. 

This Black Truffle dress does tiered fabric the right way. We hate it when tiered fabric adds volume in unwanted places, but this is so perfectly draped that your figure will still look stunning. Gold accessories are a must with this beautiful dress, so check it out at Spotted Moth for only $40.

In case you are in the mood to be the most stunningly fashionable woman in the room on New Year's Eve, you should check out Zara's tulip dress in black. The silhouette is AH-MAZ-ING. At $169, we think this is classic enough that you can defend its cost. 

Happy midnight kissing, chic ones!

That Jo!

Happy shopping, chic ones!
