Fashion Tip 1-Monday

Fashion Tip: Monday is a new section that I am starting within my site. Every Monday there will be a new fashion tip to start your week off right.

Fashion Tip #1:

Before you spending a dollar, you need a budget in place. Last year I took a Dave Ramsey Financial class, teaching budgeting and how every dollar should have a name. Since 2008 I have had a budget in place. And GOD has it helped. I have a nice amount of money in savings and I am still able to buy what I want. Budgeting is the best way to control impulse buys. Putting aside a designated amount of money every pay period creates control over your finances. Some of the impulse to shop will be minimized if you know that there is money to spend. Priorities first and luxury later.

If any of you have any great tips to share, send them to info@fashionwithoutguilt.com and they will be featured on the site.

Thanks and Happy Shopping.

My New Obsession-Draped Skirts

I Absolutely Love the Draped Skirt. The unstructured details creates a mystery silhouette that is a great fit for any women's body. They are a great focus piece for a simple outfit. They can bring just the right amount of drama. Here are some great examples of the draped skirt done right.

Item Review-Fab Skirt with Skinny Belt $11.50

I bought the red Fab skirt over the weekend. I did not have a chance to try it on before leaving Forever21. (I know, I know again another Forever 21 item)

I got home tried it on and it was a DREAM. The fit and cut was made for a womens body. It has a high waist with a knee length cut. The material has a stretch so you will not feel too tight or that the stitching will bust with any slight movement. This skirt is great transitional piece. Great for a night out and a day at the office. I am SO IN LOVE with this skirt, I am getting the two other colors too. They are in black and grey.THEY ARE ONLY $11.50. Who can pass that up.

If anyone would like to review a item, send a picture of the item and the review to info@fashionwithoutguilt.com. Your review can be featured on Fashion Without Guilt.

Job/Interview Worthy Wardrobe Items Under $30

Knowing the state of our job market and economy being in catastrophic state, people are looking for employment or trying to hold onto their employment for dear life. First Impressions and Image being everything, why not look the part. Its TIME TO DRESS FOR SUCCESS.

Here are some examples/questions of being work appropriate while still keeping with the season.


1. When dressing for the work place always ask yourself these questions:

  • Is the appropriate for the dress code?
  • How close is the fit to my body/Am I showing to much skin?
  • Is the length acceptable?
  • How do I feel in this dress?


*When asking these questions this is a great way to by your own worst critic. My motto is "If you are not comfortable, Do Not Wear It".






2. Do not accessory overkill. Jewelry is the perfect example. Keeping accessories to a minimal is key. The style of the accessory very much counts too. Nothing should ever be "Over The Top". The phrase "Less is more" definitely applies.

*Always take an inventory of your look, and take one item off. (I know Coco Chanel made a quote about this but I can't remember the exact words)


3. Footwear is like the icing on a cake, they finish the look. The height and style of the shoe is very important. Making sure the shoe is tasteful and professional are key.

*Never having a heel over 3 inches is a great way to ensure that you still have sophistication while still keeping a professional demeanor.

Spring Trend 2009-Harem Pants

Hammertime is back. The loose fitting pant is definitely the trend of the season. This is a great alternative to the everyday jean. The loose drapery of the fabric can make this style very difficult to wear.

Pairing Harem Pants with structured pieces is a great way to go. Blazers and cardigans are a great foundation pieces.

Very dramatic footwear is a great way to give your look a bit of personal flair. Deciding on which platform heel, ankle boot, or gladiator sandal are some examples of creating a unique look of your own.



Here are just some examples of how the Harem Pant is done right.
