Penny Chic

It’s times like these when I’m reminded of how lucky I am to have such supportive family, friends, and readers! Thank you for the outpour of love and support since yesterday! Since most of you have purchased or are about to purchase your Penny Chic dresses (right!??), I thought it would be helpful to get some tips from the experts on how to style each of the LBDs! You may recognize the 5 gorgeous girls above because they’re all talented style bloggers who also happen to be supportive friends sporting my dress line. These five blogging beauties (starting from left to right), Samantha of Could I Have That?, Sydne of Sydne Style, Grasie of Style Me Grasie, Julia from Gal Meets Glam, and Jacey from Damsel in Dior has taken on the challenge of styling a Penny Chic LBD using their own accessories and unique taste to show us how they WOULD wear it! This was such a fun collab and I’m so impressed by what these five fab fashionistas came up with!

For those of you who don’t already know her, let me introduce you to the beautiful Meghan of Meghanrosette, the YouTube star who I had the pleasure of working with for a top-secret project (to be revealed in the new year!). Meghan is a makeup and fashion guru who posts video tutorials on her YouTube channel and pretty much has the best personality. If you don’t believe me, believe the 80,000 people who subscribe to her channel… or just check out her YouTube channel here.

Meghan has been crushing on this Ashley Olsen ensemble circa 2006 and I wanted to help her recreate it with a reasonable budget. I took the photo with me to Kmart and had one hour to shop the store for comparable pieces. I couldn’t find satin shorts (shocker) but I did find this little girl’s tulle skirt to add underneath which gets the job done and makes it more holiday-appropriate. I absolutely adore the result…it’s fun, spunky, and modern. Hope this gives you faith that all you need to recreate an outfit is a photo of inspiration, a big department store and a game of “match the clothes.”

I know Michelle probably wins considering her dress is HAUTE COUTURE, but for $88 I think my dress does an exceptional job of capturing the feel of the look! Can I get a round of applause? After tirelessly looking for two full days, I came across this dress on a website called Unique-Vintage.com (the dress is brand new, not vintage). It originally came with a removable black ribbon belt which I took off. The brooch is a separate piece that I found on sale last minute at Target. So what do ya say–did I deliver my promise of an Oscar-inspired dress for under $100?

I’d like to thank the Penny Chic Academy…especially Brittnie (in the photo) who just joined the PC team! We work together at the Penny Chic Headquarters AKA my parent’s house (you can’t get more frugal than that) and she’s been a great support to have on board!
