No offense to ANY of you fashionistas out there who may disagree, but I personally do NOT like the look of the #5 oxford shoes in the 2nd group of pieces, but who am I to stop the masses from wearing unflattering "newsies" looking shoes.  They seem to be popular since these pieces were picked by regular women, so I didn't want to delete them or ignore them in the posts. In Part 2 and 3 of the "Makeover - Fall Outfits Under $250" posting series, I am going to add outfits that Redbook Magazine put together, mixing and matching from the pieces above. I hope you enjoy and feel inspired to Pull Together other looks using these or similar pieces.

  1. I wish I was still working.. These ideas are great and very Chic. I used to mix and match, in the very same way. Unfortunately a lot of women do not like to dress classy and Chic. Keep up the good work...
