Dressy go withs for that special occasion

So you found that beautiful dress for you to wear to a dance, wedding, or special date.  It needs something special, that right addition to make it memorable—to increase the wow factor.

Shoes are one way to make a great addition, and this pair by Coach fits the bill.

The great thing about this pair of slides is the fact that they are brown and tan, so they go with just about anything.  You can see this terrific pair in my eBay shop here.

Purses can also help make an outfit stand out, and one that can do this is this terrific one made by Michael Kors.

What makes this clutch stand out is the fact that it's Rattan, and it's small enough for it not to be to cumbersome.  You can see it in me eBay shop here.

Jewelry is also another area that you could make that great dress even better.  One item that you could use is this great pair of rhinestone earrings.

This wonderful pair was made by Trifari in the 1960's, and even adds a great vintage POP to your outfit.  You can see them in my Etsy shop here.

Scarves can also make an outfit, and they can also be used multiple ways.  They can be tied around the neck, or even be added to help your hair from being messed up.

This one by JOSETTE FRANCO fits the bill very well, and it's a great size also measuring 26 inches in all directions.  You can see it in my Etsy shop here.

There's quite a variety and ways to make your outfit the bell of the ball.  What items do you have for that special moment?

For the bride to be

According to recent surveys, today’s weddings are extremely expensive—they can run in the tens of thousands for the most part.

One thing that you can do to help keep the cost down is to buy a used dress for the big day.  There are many dresses that you can find that can fit your budget.  The first thing that you can do is to look for a dress that you can up-cycle, which is what you could do with this dress.

You can see this terrific wedding dress in my Etsy shop here.  Another thing that you can do is to tell your attendants what color of a dress to find.  This way you can let their imaginations run wild.  This way they could even use the dress for another formal event.  One dress that they could use is this terrific one by COREY P.

 

You can see it in my eBay shop here.  Another thing that you will want to consider is a purse to take with you.  You can get something really fancy at a good price to take with you, like this great COACH purse.

Purses for all!

Today, a designer purse is quite an investment.  A nearly new or slightly used one leaves room in the budget for those have-to-have shoes or the dress you would leave behind on the rack.

There are quite a few ones that you can find that fit into this area.  The first one that comes to mind is this purse that was made by Douney & Bourke.

The great thing about this purse is that it has the matching coin purse.  You can see this great purse in my eBay store here.  Another purse that helps the budget is this leather example by Coach.

What's great about it is that it has two sets of straps on it for different lengths.  You can see this purse in my eBay store here.  Another wild example that could go with just about any outfit is this terrific example by Whiting & Davis.

This will most definitely add a POP of color to any outfit.  You can see the Whiting & Davis purse in my eBay store here.
