Rush 2012

As a reference point, we offer last year's wardrobe suggestions from the blog. Remember - having a personality is the most important part of the week and your clothes can do some of the talking for you!

Day One

Day Two

Day Three

Day Four

This week is overwhelming for everyone involved, so take some time tonight to review the looks from Jason Wu's new Target collection. The collection goes on sale on February 5. We can't wait to see it all in person, but this first glance is satisfying for now. We are in love, particularly with this black and gold look:

J.Crew Jacquard

Holiday parties are just around the corner. Christmas Cocktail or New Year's Eve anyone? Try this J.Crew Jacquard dress on for size. It's a classic shape with a sparkly twist. We love the skinny belt around the waist. Check it out here on the J.Crew website.

Cheap Chic for President's Ball

Trying to avoid paying lots of money for a new dress? How about you head over to Hanes Mall and pay a little visit to our friend Forever 21, who can always be counted on for cute dresses at a low cost. We like both of these, which are simple and elegant. Plus, they beg to be accessorized with some amazing gold jewelry. Best part? They're both under $30. 

Beaded and Belted.

One Shoulder Sass

Looking for something different to wear to Pres Ball? How about a one shoulder dress? This silhouette will show off your collarbone and shoulders, but without the annoying yanking motion girls tend to make when wearing strapless dresses.

In case you are looking to sparkle, try this number.

Pres Ball Style Guide Vol. 1

Chic ones, we want to be your ultimate one stop shop for President's Ball style. Starting today, we will be posting chic outfit ideas for this event which brings out the best in Wake Forest fashion. The event is on October 14th and we hope to see everyone there rocking their elegant black and gold looks.

First, let's look at some classic strapless silhouettes:

Loving the corset seams and sparkly skirt on this MM Couture dress. For just under $100, you can wear this number again and again during your time at Wake Forest. 

We've showed this gorgeous dress on the blog before but it is on sale for nearly half the price. Check it out on Piperlime!

How sweet is this Suzy Chin lace overlay dress from Nordstrom's?

This black organza dress from ASOS could not be more perfect with that hint of gold shimmer underneath. It's on sale, but still a bit pricey at the $300 mark.

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.

Summer Cocktails

We are loving this Indah one shoulder ruffle dress and trying to think of something we need to wear it to this summer. Paired with gold accessories and a decent tan, this would be a stunning summer cocktail look!
