Before I get to my post, I wanted to let you guys know I listed an awesome BRAND NEW DKNY cozy on eBay, bid or buy it now here! I bought 2 at TJ Maxx because the price was so good, I figured one of my lovely followers might enjoy it.  If you win/buy it now let me know and I might include a little something extra in the package :D
---------
This time of year is full of holiday parties so we need a bunch of outfits to wear for all the parties.  You can obviously recycle looks for multiple events, but why not use them as an excuse for more cute outfits? (I'm wearing the same thing on Christmas and Christmas Eve [my Theory dress] ;) which are the only holiday parties I have, but if I had more places to go I would totally get this look.)  

So here's a nice affordable look you can add to your holiday wardrobe!  I went for a twist on the classic LBD with a sequin and lace dress (the back of the dress has some lace on the shoulders) and finished it off with some pearl/light pink accessories!  The best part...it's only $84!!!
I don't like using Forever 21 too much for these anymore but its a good place to get cheap jewelry and stuff.  It doesn't last as long but the price is right ;)
(I'm not saying I don't like Forever 21...I'm just still a bit angry at them for their dumb return/exchange policy and I know some people dislike them for the quality)
Dress - Yumi via ASOS $37.93
Heels - Forever 21 $19.80
Ring - Forever 21 $4.80
Earrings - Forever 21 $5.80
Tights - ASOS $7.76
Clutch/Wallet - Forever 21 $7.50
TOTAL: $83.69

Better Heels - ASOS $51.72
(the total with these instead of the others is $115.71)

One of my favorite movies is Clueless starring Alicia Silverstone. What many people don't know is that it is a modern interpretation of the novel Emma by Jane Austen, which was also made into a film starring Gwyneth Paltrow (among other versions).  One of the things I love about the film is the fashion, Cher wears so many crazy outfits but a lot of them can still be worn now and will look current. 

I decided to do a Dress for Less based on my favorite outfit of hers, the maroon dress. It was hard to find a good shot so you'll have to settle for these bad ones. I wish I could find heels the same color as the dress, but these were the perfect shape to match hers. These never come out as good as I imagine them in my head since its always impossible to find exactly what you're looking for. Hopefully it's not too horrible.

Sleeveless Dress - Tibi from The Outnet $108
Short Sleeve Dress - Mango from ASOS $94.65
Long Sleeve Dress - YesStyle $30
Heels - Forever 21 $22.80
Pink Ribbon (for belt) - Jo Ann Fabrics $1.99
TOTAL SLEEVELESS: $132.79
TOTAL SHORT SLEEVE: $119.44
TOTAL LONG SLEEVE:  $54.79

P.S. Did you know that Calvin Klein did a remake of the white dress she wore? Buy it HERE for only $916 ;) (haha...no thanks)

I was going to do a Dress for Less with these yesterday too, but figured why not save it for today.  I am lusting over these pants but they are SO EXPENSIVE, they come in 5 colors though, but burgundy is my favorite (obviously)!  The shirt also comes in multiple colors so you can mix and match!  I tried to keep the outfit under $150 though, but its still too much for me to spend.  Don't forget about the coupon code (PSWLOVESASOS) that expires today!
Pants - ASOS $62.06 ($49.65 with coupon PSWLOVESASOS)
Top - The Outnet $28
Necklace - Charlotte Russe $6.50

I decided to do a Dress for Less for a few of the ASOS Magazine looks since everyone was pretty split on the favorites. The first 2 are right here, and the next two will be posted on Saturday (since tomorrow is outfit post day ;) ).  AND I'll probably have a Dress for Less Request done for Sunday. (I'll be away this weekend so I'll have them scheduled and will return everyone's comments when I get home :) ) I used one item from each outfit that is exact as the basis for the look and as you can see there are differences, but they have the same vibe!   (for those of you looking for the products, the pink text are the links)
You can also save 20% off at ASOS with the following code: PSWLOVESASOS (good until Nov 22nd).

Here are 2 recent Dress for Less Requests I've received.  First Emily asked me to find a similar dress to the Alexa Chung for Madewell velvet dress, under $100 (basically she said she wanted a velvet dress with a vintage-looking collar).  B a la Moda asked me to find similar flats to the Belle Sigerson Morrison ones featured in this post!

The dress was quite hard...so I cheated a bit..there are hardly any velvet dresses with Peter Pan collars out there :/  Not many simple velvet dresses that aren't skin tight or nasty, either XD  So sorry this one stinks, I tried my best I also posted a not velvet one that's pretty cute.
Alexa Chung for Madewell $168.00
Velvet Dress - ASOS $67.40
Peter Pan Collar - ASOS $13.48
TOTAL: $80.88
Yes Style - $40.50

I think I was a lot more successful with this one, even though there are only 2 matches, the Steve Madden is pretty darn close :D  The ASOS ones have a similar vibe even though they aren't as similar.
Belle Sigerson Morrison $107.50
Steve Madden $84.25
ASOS $13.48

P.S. ASOS has finally launched their US SITE!!! It has free shipping all the time now!

The Outnet is one of my favorite online stores, even though I've only purchased once (and had to sell what I bought because it was too big :( ).  They sell past season designer clothes at drastically lower prices, sadly those prices are still too much for me. A good time to buy is usually Saturday-Sunday depending what their weekend sale is.  Last weekend it was 40% off certain denim pieces, so you just have to watch for a sale that includes what you want!

I decided to use them for a Dress for Less today to show you can still dress on a budget while shopping there; but instead of $100 I had to go with $220, its under $200 without jewelry. 
[I put the normal price in brackets]
Dress - Zoe's Tees $77.50 [$155]
Flats - Belle Sigerson Morrison $107.50 [$215]
Tights - Johnathon Aston $10 [$20]
Ring 1 - Kenneth Jay Lane $36 [$90]
Ring 2 - Lee Angel $22 [$55]
TOTAL NO JEWELRY: $195
TOTAL RING 1: $231
TOTAL RING 2:  $217

I LOVE velvet, so I'm very excited that it is one of the major trends for Fall (I would have worn it anyway ;) ).  Here's a dress for less featuring the awesome fabric.  I decided to turn a skirt and bodysuit into a dress-like thing and then had to add a sweater for some coverage.  This look is a bit severe for every day, but the good thing about all these pieces is that you can mix and match with a ton of other items. (It is also a bit more expensive than my usual Dress for Lesses, its hard to not use Forever 21...but I'm still angry with them)  I also still don't know if I like this...had a bit of a mental block...
Bodysuit - ASOS $20.22
Skirt - ASOS $30.33
Sweater - Alloy $34.90
Tights - ASOS $8.43
Flats - Alloy $24.90
TOTAL: $118.78
Wedge - Alloy $46.90

I feel like I haven't done an unrequested Dress for Less in AGES! I decided to do one with two of the new fall trends, fur and animal prints (leopard mostly)!  Since its fall and there are more pieces involved with outfits its going to be hard to stay with my usual $100 limit, but I was pretty close ;)

The fur/leopard piece I chose is a bit expensive, but the rest of the outfit is simple to off-set the wildness of it.  Does anyone else think snood is a funny word, it makes me giggle every time I hear it (and it reminds me of White Christmas "what did you do with it, leave it in your snood?", love that movie). Back on topic...here's the look!
Leopard Snood: ASOS $30.33
Jumper: ASOS $37.74
Trouser Leggings: ASOS $13.48
Boots: Alloy $14.99
TOTAL: $96.64
For you size 1's:
Black Trousers: Alloy $14.99
cheaper sweater:
Sweater: Alloy $14.99

Sorry there was no post yesterday, life caught up with me & I didn't have time along with commenting on everyone's blogs & other junk I had to do. (I have to read 50 pages of Harry Potter every night to finish in time for the new movie premiere ;) I always reread the books before a movie comes out)  Also, this is pretty cool, my Harry Potter collection is featured in a book; Harry Potter Collector's Handbook! My name is all over the book wherever one of my photos is! It says "Photo from the collection of Megan [my last name]"  I'm even on the acknowledgments page: "Megan [last name], for her invaluable assistance and images from her collection." WOOT!

Now on to the fashion part of the post post, please excuse the doofy title, but this request made me think of Clue (the game AND the movie, if you haven't seen the movie BUY IT! It's so funny) Anyway, I digress, 20 York Street has asked me to help her find a mustard trench coat or cardigan for under $80 Canadian (about $78 US).

Top Left: ASOS $62.25 CA/$60.66 US
Top Middle: ASOS $24.20 CA/$23.59 US
Bottom Left: Karmaloop $54.22 CA /$52.95 US (sadly they only have XXS :/)
Bottom Middle: Overstock $43.09 CA/$41.99 US
Bottom Right: Etsy (link sent directly to her since there's only 1 ;) )  $59.55 CA/$58US

These requests have taken me a while to get to so I'm doing them all at once! First up is Sjanna who wanted me to create a look with these fun blue pants, difficult but I hope I did okay! Since the pants are a bit wild and crazy, I made a wild and crazy look, but kept it classy (I hope...)!
Sweater: Forever 21 $19.80 | Bag: ASOS $25.28 | Necklace: Forever 21 $4.80
Necklace 2: Forever 21 $4.80 | Cluster Ring: Forever 21 $3.80 | Shoes: Forever 21 $26.80
Total: $85.28
Optional Tank Top: Forever 21 $2.50
Here are some other tops I was playing around with, but they didn't make the cut.
Sweater Tank: Forever 21 $11.99 | Top: Forever 21 $11.99
Next up is Jodi, who wanted me to create a look from the tights featured in this Dress for Less!  Since the most important part is at the top of the tights I had to go with a shorter silhouette and I kept things simple; this is also a little pricier than usual since its an evening look. (the dress is really expensive, but the moment I saw it I fell in love *sigh*)
Dress: ASOS $67.40 | Tights ASOS $16.85 | Earrings: Forever 21 $6.80 | Ring: Forever 21 $5.80
Heels: ASOS $18.54 | Heels #2: ASOS $43.81
Total: $115.39 | Total with Heels 2: $140.66
Lastly, Lady Gabby wanted me to find some good thigh high and knee high socks for cheap.  This is something that I need too since I don't have ANY socks...I know, shocker, but I never want to spend the money! Maybe I will to get these babies :D (most of them have multiple colors)
Forever 21 Left to Right: $2.50 | $2.80 | $3.80
ASOS Left to right: $5.90 | $6.74 | $6.74 | $8.43 | $10.11

Remember, you can request a Dress for Less at this page! Normally I get them done in a few days, but last week I had a MOUNTAIN of requests, which is why these are coming late.

Wow, Requests for Dress for Less posts have been POURING in! I'm going to start separating them out a bit now, so there will be a little bit of a wait before the next one (maybe one a week like I used to do with regular Dress for Less posts) but never fear, I will do them all!  But right now here's a double dose of Dress for Less!

Anyway, this next request is from Rebecca from See You in Sweden, she asked:
"I would love to see where else I can find those suspender type tights that Topshop are really selling. You can use any types of stores and my budget would be $20 USD or under, it's just Topshop is a bit expensive when you add in the shipping as I live in the US."   
I am just assuming it is one of the two below by the name ;)  I only managed to find one similar style...I think this is the first time I have failed on a request :( I searched SO many stores, and nothing :/
TopShop Suspender Tights $16 + $10 shipping
TopShop Heart Suspender Tights $16 + $10 shipping
ASOS Tights $16.85 + free shipping

I also got a request from Collette, so I figured I would do them together since its tights and shoes ;)  She wants these gorgeous L.A.M.B. sandals in brown, for under $180! I don't think any of my finds compare, but they are still pretty good ;)
L.A.M.B. $180.06
Belle by Sigerson Morrison $127.50
ASOS $67.40
Forever 21 $26.80

Also, Collette awarded me with the Versatile Blogger award!  I already did my 7 facts, so read those here!! I'm still on vaca so I'm not going to pass it on to 7 more people XD XD (shame on me...)

I got another Dress for Less request so I figured why not make this week Request week ;) (well 1/2 week since tomorrow is an outfit recap and Saturday is Project Runway)  Anywayyyy, 20 York Street is on the hunt for the perfect boyfriend blazer for under $100 Canadian (about $95USD)! Quite a challenge, but as you all know, challenges are what I LIVE for! ;)  I tried to find a variety of types so there's a few to choose from.  All from ASOS, of course (since I'm addicted).
ASOS $97.47 ($92.68USD)
ASOS (navy) $53.16 ($50.55USD)
ASOS (tan) $53.16 ($50.55USD)
ASOS $44.30 ($42.13USD)
ASOS $38.98CAD ($37.07USD)

This must be a record, three Dress for Less requests in a row!  This next request is from Leonie,  I hope she likes it! :D (I gave two options for shoes, I prefer the heels, but flats might be better for a lot of walking...and easier on the wallet. I was also going to do some accessories...but ran out of moola because of the pretty heels ;) )
Might you find an autumn outfit for me which I can wear even if it's a bit colder ... for school ... shopping ... meeting friends, you know :)?! If possible it would be great if you can look at European shops cause I live in Germany, but if nothing else helps I suppose shops in the US would work too :). My budged is 100€ (or 130$). 
I would love to have an outfit fitting to my bag: http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/421/p7310726.jpg.

Last week I got aDress for Less request from museumgirl and here is what she asked:
"This isn't exactly a dress for less...but do you own any cropped pants? I've been wanting to jump on this trend for a while, but I couldn't find affordable ones until now! I bought the blue and tan cropped pants from Old Navy.
http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5382&vid=1&pid=771971&scid=771971002
Although I think these look great causal, I would love to wear them to work now and in the fall. What do you suggest? I work in a library, so I almost always wear flats."

Top: ASOS $6.74 
Blazer: Forever 21 $24.80
Short-Sleeve Sweater: ASOS $16.85
Flats: Old Navy $15

Here's a Dress for Less request from StylisHedForeVer, she asked, "Can you pls help me find the Birkin bag for much less than it is? I've been on the hunt for the bag for way too long and i hope you can help out." Another challenging one, but here we go, I picked out a couple options; of course none are as awesome as the Birkin.
Birkin Bag - Too gastly to say
Paul's Boutique $92 (just take off the long strap and key-chain thing)
ASOS $60
Oasis $59
Forever 21 $24.80

I have been in love with this dress since I saw it on Keira Knightly (one of my fashion icons) and while browsing The Outnet yesterday I came upon a similar dress by T-Bags and decided it would be perfect for another edition of "Lust, Love, Less!"  So, here we go!  As coincidental as the first part was, finding a third dress proved to be very difficult...I tried really hard to find a good long match but in the end had to settle for this "sorta maybe kinda resembles it" dress.
Erdem Dress - $3,465
T-Bags Dress - $77
Lily Dress - $23.99
