The Savvy Stylist: New Year's Eve Nanny
Candy writes:
I've got a bit of a request for New Year's Eve. I work full time as a nanny and I'm also a full time student (so cash is rather tight). I just found out that I will be working New Years Eve, but instead of staying at home with the little girl we are invited along with her parents to a very very very nice hotel in downtown Dallas where the parents will be partying away the year in a huge ball room while the nannies and other children are in suites above. Now, this party is being hosted by the CEO of my bosses company, so obviously I need to be ultra presentable as not to look bad for my family and stand up to everyone's praises as their "super nanny!" Key here is obviously mobility (flats?) and the ability to play with the kids... Any help you could give would be fantastic!
I think that this look will be perfectly appropriate. It's professional and polished but still festive enough for the holiday. It costs $99.80.

The Savvy Stylist: Outdoor January Wedding
Katie writes:
I am attending an outdoor garden wedding in Florida in January. I live in Chicago, and my winter style is totally not helpful for Florida. I have a wool coat that I will probably be wearing during the ceremony if it's cold, but the reception is indoors, and, anyway, what do you wear in a garden in January? My style is pretty, feminine, and classic - I love A-line silhouettes and glam accessories. Any ideas?
I hope this ensemble is stylish and appropriate enough for you. It costs $92.19.

5 Under $50: Flat Shoes
This one is a reader request from Rinku who writes:
Due to recent leg problems, I have been forbidden by doctors to wear heels for a few years! I like wearing skirts and dresses and usually wear heels with them so the new rule lands me in a quandary. Can you give me suggestions on what shoes (not more than 1.5" heels) I can wear with my short skits and dresses (mostly LBDs). For flats, I typically wear ballet flats which I love! I am on a budget crunch right now and am looking to buy 5-6 pairs of shoes that can be worn with anything and everything. Can you suggest something?
Here are five pairs of shoes that I hope work for you - they're all under $50 apiece and will go with everything!

The Savvy Stylist: New Year's Day Parade
Karrie writes:
I'm meeting up with a bunch of friends on New Year's Day to watch the Mummer's Parade in Philadelphia, and this guy I really like is going to be there. Can you suggest something to wear that's warm but cute? I have plenty of handbags to carry, so don't worry about finding one of those. I just need everything else.
Cheers to another Philly girl! I think this outfit will be perfect for New Year's Day. It costs $97.30

Julie writes:
I bought this faux leather skirt from Arden B a few weeks ago, and I want to wear it to the New Year's Eve party I'm going to, but I'm not sure how to wear it without looking kind of slutty! Any ideas?
This look is fun but not slutty (I hope!) and costs only $96.29, including the skirt you already have!

The Savvy Stylist: A Red Bridesmaid Dress
Nathalie writes:
In February, I'm going to be a bridesmaid for my cousin. The wedding is on Valentine's Day weekend and she's asked that we wear short red dresses with black and silver accents, but the rest is up to us. She told us that she'd provide evening bags but I need everything else. I'm pretty clueless with fashion, so can you help me put something together?
This look is perfect for the wedding: festive and romantic and only $99 even!

I joined an online dating service a few months ago and finally met a guy that I really like. We're supposed to meet up in person between Christmas and New Year's, but I'm nervous - I haven't been on a date since my divorce and I have no idea what to wear. I think we're just going someplace casual to get a drink. Can you help?

My boyfriend and I are spending New Year's Eve up in Monterey. He made a reservation at a very fancy restaurant and he's been dropping hints that he's going to propose!

The Savvy Stylist: New Year's Eve in Times Square
Jenna writes:
I'm spending New Year's Eve with my friends who live in New York City and we're going to hang out in Times Square to watch the ball drop. I just bought myself an adorable coat from Nordstrom, but I'd like something cute but warm and comfortable to wear underneath it. What do you suggest? By the way, I'm plus-sized so if you could pick out something that comes in larger sizes, I'd appreciate it.
I hope you like this outfit I put together. It costs $98.97, not including that amazing coat!
