The following is a guest post from our gal pals at CollegeFashion.net. Have you checked them out yet?!

If you’re involved in Greek life (or just the lucky guest of a sorority gal or fraternity guy), you’ll know that semi-formal season is nearly upon us. Translation? A new excuse to shop for cocktail dresses and heels!

Semi-formal socials call for guests to step up their usual Saturday night attire, but the dress code is not as stuffy as formal parties. It’s a fun opportunity to get dolled up and play with fashion. But is it possible to be the belle of the ball on a budget? Of course! 

Look at discount stores. Think you need to spend lots on your dress? Think again. You go to cheap spots like Forever 21 and H&M for going-out duds on the regular, so why not look there for a snazzy cocktail dress, too? Don’t write off your favorite bargain spots – they have options for dressy occasions, too. Last year, I found my semi-formal dress at Target (yes, Target!). I received just as many compliments on it as my more expensive dresses.

Want to splurge? Choose wisely. If extra cash is burning a hole in your pocket (not a problem most of us have these days!), carefully consider possible wardrobe investments before splurging. If you’re like me, you have a rack of party dresses in your closet, most of which cost a lot and have only been worn once. Translation: Splurging on a dress is not a good closet investment. Spending more on a fabulous pair of shoes or dramatic earrings that you can wear over and over will get you more bang for your buck. Read More »

Step away from the rack of overpriced, itchy, polyester costumes – you know you’ll never wear them again after Halloween! Instead, take the cash you’d usually drop on a cheaply made, mass-produced look and shop for a stylish costume that will make you stand out and that you can incorporate into your wardrobe post-pumpkin season.

Don’t think it can be done? Here are some chic and cheap Halloween costumes made with items you can actually wear again: Read More »

Step outside and you’ll discover the air is a little crisper, leaves are starting to darken into rustic colors, and the smell of autumn wafts through campus. It’s officially fall. You know what that means: now’s the time to start updating your wardrobe.

The latest trends for fall 2010 range from ’50s chic to elegant velvet, but perhaps the hottest trends are all about the balance between sweet and sassy: mixing ladylike lace with tough leather, infusing infantry inspiration, and daring to wear bold animal print. Here’s how you can wear these three toughened-up-good-girl trends without breaking the bank: Read More »

As great as it is to finally have the summer weather here, the season can create a lot of problems that tend to lengthen your morning routine. Like that near third-degree burn you picked up at the beach… how are you ever gonna cover that up in time for work?

And that awesome summer internship you scored demands you look absolutely adorable each and every day, which we all know can be extremely demanding and time-consuming. Not to mention, trying to find a work wardrobe that is super cute AND super affordable for a college student’s budget may seem impossible. However, with help from CollegeFashion, we’ve found 3 chic internship looks, all under $100 (shoes and jewelry included)!

And if you need some more fashion inspiration to spice up your workday, take it from the ladies on the streets of New York themselves. Those chicks know their ish.

There are so many must-have styles of boots this fall: over-the-knee, mid-calf, ankle, heeled, flat, etc. In order to snag all the looks you want, you need to shop smart. We found cute boots that will flatter every type for under $100!

1. A pair of Knee-high boots is a classic wardrobe staple. They look cute with skinny jeans, leggings, or skirts and they’ll keep you warm and comfortable in crisp fall weather.

2. Mid-calf boots look best with leggings or the skinniest of skinny jeans (otherwise the denim will bunch up in an unflattering way).
