Michael Kors Slim Crepe Dress (Bergdorf Goodman, $1,995)

Finishing up unaffordable dress week is this blackberry-colored crepe stunner from Michael Kors.  If I had a favorite work look, it would be long-sleeved dresses in simple shapes, like this one.  Too bad this dress would eat up my whole paycheck.

Luckily, this is one area in which the options are plentiful.  

If you’re looking for a neutral basic for fall/winter, I found a stylish dress that comes in both grey and black.  I also found a similar dress in navy.  And if you’d prefer a basic v-neck sweater dress, Land’s End has lots of great colors and sizes for under-$50.

Plus sized?  This faux wrap from Ralph Lauren is stylish and simple. And this Michael Kors Belted Dress comes in both blue and grey.

Look for Less

    Thanks for including some plus sized options!

    It's been…strange seeing all these options with every post. I don't remember always seeing that on here. I've been reading for at least three years, and it seems like the tone has changed recently to be more friendly/relatable or…something. Can't put my finger on it exactly. It's not a bad thing, just a head scratcher.

    Kelly: I've just had more time recently to put into the blog, and someone had made a suggestion on a “what would you like to see on the blog” post awhile back that this would be a helpful addition.

    I love that you included some affordable options! I love your blog, have for years, and always lusted after the looks you post. Your style is wonderful and its nice seeing versions in my price range. Thanks CHStyle!

You Have, You Need: Camel Sweater Edition

In the name of fiscal responsibility, I’m taking a shopping respite through the end of the year.  When you write a fashion blog, not shopping is like being a person on a diet who moves into a McDonald’s.  But I’m determined to flex some self-discipline now that my holiday shopping is done.

Add to Cart: Five Recent Amazon Purchases

Since my daughter was born, Amazon has claimed so much of my money that I had to buy stock just to get some of it back.  Between the formula, onesies, fruit pouches, diapers, wipes, and ever evolving list of baby development gear, I could not survive without Prime.   My husband no longer notices the […]
