Shameless Self-Promotion

I participated in High Fashion Girl's style challenge. The winner gets a cool vintage bag, courtesy of Grace herself. Without further ado, here's the bottom line: Vote for me! While I still have an ounce of humility in me, I have to say that all the contestants have created great outfits. I especially love Irina's idea of pinning different flower pins on the dress to emulate a very, very expensive dress.

The style challenge was a great exercise. For those of you who like to follow celeb looks, it's a great way to get a feel for how to pull together "the look" on a low budget. If you're too lazy to indulge in that fun yourself, Frugal Fashionista does that for you on a regular basis. I've been a style advisor of sorts for my roommate on her "I've got nothing to wear" days, but this style challenge is very different from anything I've done before. While I can see what I have to work with in my roommate's closet, I'm flying blind when I do the online challenge. I had to spend a lot of time pulling items from the Ether of Cyberspace, which is vast indeed. Now I can see why stylists get paid so much money...it's not easy to do.

Missed this challenge but want to join the fun? Budget Diva does it weekly.
