My life philosophy is: Wear cheap clothes, take good vacations. I would much rather buy my sweaters at Old Navy & Target if that means there is extra money I can stash away to get out of town.
With the holidays right around the corner, it had me thinking about cocktail dresses. And, when you are babysitting on a Saturday night in Brooklyn, what else would you do but troll the interwebs looking for dresses you will never have the occasion to wear? So I took the opportunity to put together some cocktail looks with pieces from some of my favorite cheapo depots. Items range from $1 up to $100. Yes, I said $1!
Also important is knowing what drink to pair with a dress, so I made some recommendations there as well.
