$150 Challenge: First Thanksgiving

By -
As tomorrow is Turkey Day here in the States, we won't be posting. I will be hosting the annual feast at my house for the first time. (No, I don't have to cook the turkey.) Between preparing the house for my in-laws and mashing my sweet potatoes and pears, I haven't even thought about what I'm going to wear! A jersey knit seems best -- movable, expandable, comfortable and available in cute dresses. At $115.84, this outfit may be cheaper than the feast.
jersey empire waist dress, Old Navy $24.50
sequin cardigan, Forever 21 $24.90
patterned tights, Mod Cloth $14.99
ruffle flat (available in three more colors), Old Navy $24.50
rhinestone headband, Forever 21 $11.80
layered pearl necklaces, Forever 21 $9.80
OPI "Ruby Rajah" nail polish, Amazon $5.35

Jean Paul Gaultier's runway promoted one of my favorite fashion looks: pinstripes with a delicate, feminine print. He had high-waisted pants, suspenders, lingerie elements, lace, sheer fabrics, softly geometric designs, and monochrome dominated, much to my glee.

The complete collection wasn't cohesive, but even the breaks from theme were lovely. It's hard to argue with so many colors, ruffles and embroidery. Plus, I want that polka dot coat!

Read our latest post on Plus Size Prom Dresses ! Prom Season is here and if you're beyond the prom age, prom season and post prom season is a good time to shop for any upcoming formal events. Shopping outside of the juniors prom sections and stores may help you find a dress that can live beyond prom or anyone too old to attend prom. During my search I found that Nordstrom had the best selection of plus size evening dresses. They actually have one of the best evening dress selections no matter what your size. The dresses range from elegant to fun and sweet to sassy.

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
