More finds

For this post, I'm going to showcase a slightly random, but hopefully delightful collection of fashion finds.

My first find is from Victoria's Secret. That store just keeps surprising me; I've always thought of it as a purely lingerie-oriented store, but some of their clothes are quite chic. Check out this dress:



(Babydoll sweater dress w/ scarf, on sale, $69)

It's not really a steal, but I'm in love with this unusual, stylish blue. It's very refreshing and cute. If it's not your cup of tea, however, they have cranberry (they say lipstick) red and your usual black and white options.

I've often sort of admired Aldo's shoes, but I've never seen anything unique or interesting enough to justify their prices. And their seriously high heels.

These shoes, however, made me reconsider Aldo in general:

(See them at http://www.aldoshoes.com/eng/storeSection/redirect.cfm?sectionID=b2c/style/productDetails.cfm&itemID=64961409&&var=d&ckey=US&colorid=94
Please forgive me for not being able to post a pic; their stupid flash player is to blame.)

(Fandriana pumps, $20)

They're not the epitome of high style, perhaps (high heels: definitely), but they're rather cute, no? And the price amazing for such nice pumps (I know it says $79 at the top; look by the color descriptions instead). I prefer the cream-colored pattern, because I think the black is an odd contradiction of sexy heel and colors, and sweet girly pattern. The cream is just sweet enough to get away with the peeptoe and the heel and the platform without looking like...well, you know.

That's all for today; check back soon for more sweet fashion dreams!

Ahhh, here are some cheap-ish clothes that I can loooooove. And almost guilt-free. Take a look:

First of all, this amazing Topshop dress.



I know, it's not exactly cheap, per say, but I just had to include. The pic's a touch blurry, so you can't see the exquisite lace detailing, but trust me: it's worth ANY price.

And it's definitely worthy of these pumps:


($120, stevemadden.com)

Again, not cheap, but worth it. A while back, I commented in a forum discussion of these shoes a woman had found; she wanted to know if the killer stilletos, numerous laces, and silver heels made them slutty. I said that they did. And now, I wish she could have seen these pumps! They are perfection: sexy, but not too sexy, and stylishly mod, but wearable.

Anyway, check back soon, for more sweet fashion dreams.
