Coral is the Color

A favorite color this summer is Coral. If you are new to this color, you can play this up in a subtle way, using accessories. Francesca’s boutique has some beautiful coral earrings and bracelets. Or if you’re a bit bolder, you can devour yourself in the color. I recently purchased a coral dress at New York & Company on clearance for $20! I wasn’t sure about the color at first, but I’ve received so many compliments! It’s a coral wrap dress with a bit of bling at the waist. A wrap dress flatters any figure…and I am so thankful for that ;) New York and Company also had this in a dark brown color, if anyone is thinking ahead for fall.

 I usually run straight to the clearance rack first before scanning the rest of any store. You never know what great bargains you’ll find! Last month, I found an awesome orange faux crock clutch purse at JCPenny’s in an 80% off bin. I thought it was a mistake, but when they rang me up and said it was $10.00, I took it! You can’t pass up a deal like that. So now I’m all set with a great summer bag and a beautiful summer dress all for only $30.

Sometimes we see amazing outfits in magazines and think we can never afford it, but think again. Take the magazine photo of your outfit for inspiration. The mall will probably be your best bet for sales. Check the department stores to gather some similar pieces of your outfit in the magazine. Before you know it, you’ll have a look for less. I’ll be featuring some looks for less soon staring the Rachel Zoe collection and some looks from the fall runways. Stay tuned my fashionistas…
