Splurge VS Steal: BCBG Runway Dress

splurge vs steal: BCBG Dress

I had the opportunity to style the beautiful Michelle for Valentine’s Day. I got a GREAT deal on a dress we both felt would be the best fit for the occasion. The BCBG Runway dress on the left is on sale for $109 on eBay. She’s had her eye on this dress for quite some time, but it didn’t fit within her budget. It was able to snag an almost identical copy for only $19 at Agaci! Yeah, I know. I’m good. And what better color combination than pink and red for the day of looooove? Here are a few pics how I put together her look:

Doesn’t she look amazing? If you have an event coming up and need some help in the outfit department, email me at ashley (@) ashleysixto (dot) com to schedule your appointment. I’d love to work with you!

Lessons in Layering: Miami Style.

step one: keep those feets warm. I’m a sock freak. It seems like I have a million pairs, all different colors and patterns. But I’m not as big of a fan like this guy: SOCKS.

step two: throw on a blazer, cause here in Miami there’s no need for coats. I love this blazer cause it’s the perfect match for any season. Now for the chilly weather, and with a tank and shorts in the Summer. Now, let’s focus our attention to those black hidden lapels. Aren’t they awesome? Goes great with a monochromatic look.

step three: It’s scaaaaarf time. Since I’m a girl who loves that pop of color, I couldn’t resist buying this scarf. Even though it’s not that cold here, it’s always good to keep a scarf handy. It’s less clunkier than a jacket.

step four: please put some shoes on.

step five: add your bling or start your arm [insert synonym to the word party here].

and KA-POW. you’re ready to take on the day…or night.
