The Savvy Stylist: Carnegie Hall Concert
Reader Request
For Memorial Day weekend, I am going on a trip with my boyfriend and his family to NY to watch his sister sing at Carnegie Hall. There are a couple of catches: I am only going to be there from Saturday to Monday so I do not want to check in a bag. I need a nice outfit for Carnegie Hall, but trendy enough to go out after that won’t wrinkle during travel. And finally, since I am staying with the family I need quick, easy, trendy day looks that are versatile and fit the NY vibe. By the way - comfy shoes are a must! I have a very high arch so my feet start hurting quickly.
Sounds like a great trip! Today, I'll put together an outfit for Carnegie Hall, and I'll have some casual outfits for you later this week. Today's look costs just $99.99

The Savvy Stylist: Sex and the City Movie
Reader Request
In a few days, my friends and I are renting a limo and going to see the Sex and the City movie on opening night, and then afterwards, we're going out for drinks. We're all going to wear outfits that are inspired by the characters, so I'd like to wear an outfit worthy of Carrie Bradshaw. But I'm a size 16, so I need something that will fit me. What do you suggest?
This look just screams "Carrie" with the flower pin and amazing shoes. The whole shebang costs just $96.04.

The Savvy Stylist: Baby Shower
Reader Request
My twin sister is having her first child at the end of August and my mother is throwing her a baby shower. I would like a fun summer dress, but I have recently gained a bit of weight and am self-conscious about my body (especially since I will be going home and seeing people I have not seen in a few years!). The shower will be held in July in the South and will be a brunch. Do you have any ideas? Thanks!
This look is festive and summery, and the dress is feminine and flattering. The ensemble costs $95.78.

The Savvy Stylist: A Sad Event
Reader Request
I just recently learned that my grandmother is not doing well and we are not expecting her to make it through the summer. With everything going on with trying to settle things before she passes I have not had a chance to look for a dress for the funeral. I will be flying in and would like to not have to check a bag, so I am looking for a dress that I can wear to the family night and the funeral without it being obvious that it's the same dress! Do you have any suggestions?
I'm so sorry for what you're going through. At a sad time like this, the last thing anyone feels like doing is worrying about clothing. This look is appropriate for both events. Wear the dress and shoes and carry the handbag to both events. Wear the scarf to one event and the belt to the other. The whole look costs just $98.29.

The Savvy Stylist: 25th Birthday
Reader Request
I'm turning 25 in a few weeks and my friends are taking me out for a night on the town. I need an outfit that's fun and festive. I'd like to wear a dress but it doesn't have to be a fancy one. But, since we'll be bar hopping all night, I need comfy shoes - either flats, wedges or low heels.
This dress is light and versatile, and the black wedges will make walking a cinch! The look costs just $95.09

The Savvy Stylist: Graduation Day
Reader Request
I will be graduating from grad school in a few short weeks, and need an outfit idea. I hate wearing dresses, so I plan on wearing nice black or dark gray pants. However, I need help with the top, shoes, accessories. I'd like the top to be something sophisticated but not revealing, because even though I will be wearing my gown on top for the graduation itself, I do not plan on wearing it the entire day. I'll be running around beforehand, helping organize a few things in connection with the ceremony. The graduation ceremony itself is indoors, but right outside the building is a lake, and afterward, everyone usually takes their pictures with the lake in the background.
Congrats on finishing grad school! This look is versatile enough to take you through your busy day, and it costs just $94.13.
