Stylish For Less: 15 Sweaters Under $100

I am someone who expects a white Christmas or at least a Christmas that calls for roaring fireplaces, hot chocolate, and bundling up. I couldn't have been more disappointed over the holiday season when the temperatures where nearing 70 degrees every single day. I love sweaters and they are likely one of the items of clothing I own the most of. We are finally experiencing some winter weather and I have pulled all of my sweaters from the back of my closet and have been constantly rotating them so I can wear as many as possible during this cooler weather. Above are 15 of my favorite stylish for less sweaters all under $100.

Stylish For Less: Party Dresses Under $100

I attended my first Christmas party of the season last Saturday and had an incredible time. One of my favorite things this time of the year is all of the gatherings, festivities, and events where we come together with those we love and those that are important to us. Dressing up for all of these holiday celebrations is part of the fun. I have rounded up 20 party dresses under $100 because we are all watching our budgets this time of the year.

Still stumped on what to wear to all of the holiday parties this season? Look here.

When I go shopping I always have my eye out for a stylish piece that will easily incorporate into my wardrobe. Not only do I want beautiful pieces but I also want to get them at a steal. A teacher's salary doesn't allow me to just go wild when shopping for clothes. I need quality pieces that are versatile and fit my budget. I want to look good but appropriate for work. I also want pieces that are fun and more casual for life outside of school. What kind of pieces do you look for when you go shopping? So this stylish for less incorporates some of all of that with great pieces for under $50!

All of these pieces could easily fit into my closet. Some of them would be perfect for work like this dress with this jacket. Some of the pieces are perfect for after work like this tee and these boots with some black jeans and a jacket. What's your favorite items above?

These last two weeks have been crazy and I have to say that I am kind of crushing it. If I can just keep this pace up until Monday then I should be able to relax a little and start getting ready for my Halloween party. My plans for the next four days include nothing but work. If I can manage to get finished a little early I hope to have a few hours to start picking up supplies for the party.

Above are a few recent finds under $100. My favorites include these dotted boots and this knot front dress. They would look great paired together.

Floral Bow Peplum Dress $35 so gorgeous - Black Quilted Crossbody $35 - Coral Midi Dress $37 - Biker Jacket $49.99 add some edge - Blazer $34.99 - Bow Flats $28.33 - Bird Patterned Blouse $24.99

Let's face it, we all want to look good. When you are beautifully dressed, you just feel better about yourself. Being in an outfit that you love just gives you a little confidence booster that helps you all day long. Don't you have that favorite look in your closet that you wear when you know you are going to need a little boost that day? Why not make all your looks favorites? Well, for one thing clothes are expensive and not all of us have the adequate funds to just go out and buy everything we love. That's when you have to get creative. Check out all of your favorite shops and even try some new places. Look online for the best deals. Check out secondhand stores for great buys.

I think all of the above pieces could be incorporated into looks that would definitely boost my mood. The best thing about all of them is that they are all under $50, with the majority of them being under $35. My absolute favorite item in the collage above is this dress. At under $40 it is an absolute steal, don't you agree? With some great black heels, a black bag, and some simple gold studs it would make a perfect look for work. Maybe even add a black blazer. My second favorite piece above is this. It wouldn't really be for work, but I could definitely see myself wearing it all the time outside of work. Running errands, going to a concert, hanging out with friends- all of these would be perfect opportunities.

Stylish For Less: Classic Black Blazers Under $50

Lapel Fitted Black Blazer / Single Button Blazer / Lapel Pocket Blazer / Contrast Leather Cropped Blazer / Zipper Fitted Blazer / Notch Front Blazer
It is hard to believe it is already Monday. Weekends always seem to fly by. This week is going to be a busy one. I have a lot of appointments and meetings schedules out of the office and I am heading to a training on Wednesday.

One item that I will be getting a lot of use out of this week is a black blazer. I consider black blazers to be one of workhorses in my closet. It is versatile, classic, and because it is black it goes with basically everything I own. A high-end black blazer is one of the components of the perfect suit which I said last week is one of the 5 Investment Pieces every woman should have work. Over the years I have also picked up several inexpensive black blazers that I toss over everything including trousers, dresses, jeans, and skirts.

I have learned the hard way to I always keep a black blazer in my office. This lesson was learned one hectic day when I was scheduled to looking at dusty books out of the office all day doing research but was called and given almost no notice of an important meeting I had to attend in the office that day. I have almost a 90 minute commute to work each day so I had no time to go home and get dressed. Instead I ran like a mad woman around town to purchase something to wear to this meeting. Since that day along with a few other items a black blazer is something I always keep stashed away in my closet at work for an emergency or when something unexpected pops up.

Work has recently started back for me. My summer vacation ended last week from school. Teachers started work last Monday and the students started coming back on Thursday. With the start of work, I realize how much my work wardrobe is lacking. In the spring semester at school I quit buying anything for work, because at Christmas I have gotten some new things. Usually a few weeks before summer vacation ends I will go on a shopping splurge and buy some new things for work. This year I didn't get to do that because I was busy with a week long math training and then two weeks of going to college classes. So it has been a long time since I have made any new work related purchases- well work wardrobe related. I did buy a few new things for my classroom from Amazon.

I love all of the above items for a work wardrobe. They are all under $50 each. They are beautiful, feminine, and would cover you enough to be appropriate for work. These hoops are a steal at only $12 and could be worn with any outfit. I am absolutely in love with dress- the floral print is wonderful. While I find both of the heels above stunning, I know I couldn't wear them all day without my feet killing me. I have to be up on my feet too much to wear shoes like those all day. I could see myself wearing them and changing into flats half-way through the day though. What do you think about my picks?

Shirt Dress (perfect for the office) / 60's Check Pinafore Dress / Mini Bucket Bag / Faux Sherling Gilet / Scallop Skirt / Tassel Stripe Tee / d'orsay Flats (love these) / Necklace
As several of my finds under $50 above suggest I am itching to do some shopping for fall. I have always loved fall fashion best. I noticed a couple weeks ago that fall clothing was already starting to appear in many stores so I do not think it will be long before I get some serious use out of my credit cards.

Until a couple years ago Dorothy Perkins had never been on my radar. I love the new arrivals at Dorothy Perkins like this shirt dress. I think the fabrics and colors would be perfect for fall and plus everything is #stylishforless. In other news: I am still crazy for leopard prints and since basically destroying my favorite leopard print shoes maybe I need to replace them with these.

Are you ready to update your fall wardrobe too?

I love prints. Usually, I am more for the standard prints like strips and polka dots.

When the warmer months hit, it is so nice to shade all of the layers that Winter made necessary. Shorts are an essential fashion item for Summer. They are cool, comfortable, and so much fun to wear. To spice things up a bit, you need a variety of shorts. Various colors, prints, and denim are a must for your Summer wardrobe. I'm a fan of floral prints- daisies, sunflowers, wildflower, etc. Of course you have to have a few good denim pairs in various shades. All of the shorts I'm sharing here are under $25. I love all of them and they are so affordable. What do you think?

A straw is one of the first things I pack whenever I am headed to the beach. There are plenty great options out there under $50 like this color block tote that is currently on sale and this fun tote embellished with pom poms that happens to be my favorite.

Above are a few items that I love right now like this skirt with its adorable balloon print and cami that I would love to pair with white jeans.

Let's just face it, dresses are a must-have item for Spring. Everyone should have a few (and by few I mean a dozen or so) good Spring dresses. These dress should be pretty, cool, and easy to wear. Spring is about breaking out of thick layers we had to wear all Winter and finally getting out to have some fun. Whether you are meeting friends for lunch, running errands, going to work, or spending the day out and about you need some great dresses. I love this dress for lunch with friends. It has a great color and cute print. This $20 option would be the perfect dress from for me to wear while spending the day outside enjoying the good weather. It would be perfect for a picnic or a wear to the park. Which dress would you wear where?

I love all of the options above. They are mainly under $100 with only two of them being exactly $100. These dresses would all go great with sandals, flats, or heels depending on your preference or where you are going in it. Add a couple of accessories like a pendant necklace or a few bangles and grab your tote and you are ready to go. So simple, right?

Stylish For Less: Sandals Under $50

Now that the temperatures finally warming up I am excited for cute sandals and pretty pedicures. I was evaluating my shoe collection the other day and I was surprised by the lack of sandals. I have resolved to pick up a few new pairs before heading to the beach this summer. This pair in brown is at the top of my list but I am also think these color block sandals would be very versatile.

P.S. Jessica shared some great flats under $50 last week.

Striped Flats great nautical feel - Pink Suede Flats - Polka Dot Flats adorable - Scalloped Edge Flats darling - Yellow Nine West Flats so sunny - Gem Embellished Floral Flats - Floral Pointy Toe Flats beautiful colors - Cut-out Flats - Leopard Cut-out Flats glamorous - Green Flats

One of my favorite shoes to were in the Spring is flats. Flats are just so quick and easy to wear. You can slip them on in seconds on the way out the door. They are my go to shoes when I want to wear stylish shoes and have to be on my feet all day. I think heels are beautiful, but honestly after a couple of hours my feet are killing me. So going out shopping with friends? Flats are the perfect shoe to wear. Don't you think? I just love these scalloped edge flats, they are so adorable and feminine. They would pair well with a cute dress or with jeans. For something a little edgier and a little more glam I would opt for these leopard flats. I love the print and the cut-outs. What's your go-to pair of flats look like?
