9 Under $100: Grey Greatness

Forget dreary black this winter: add a fresh dose of grey to your winter wardrobe (and spring and summer, for that matter).

Especially when paired with color, it really, really POPS! I kind of have a love affair with this glorious neutral. There's so many shades to play with. Go for the light, almost silver options, the 'burnout' faded looks or dark ones that border on black.

I recently scored grey heels (and purple studded ones, but that's for another post! tee hee) and am obsessed. They go with everything! I love pairing them with my jeans, my navy work pants and am can't wait to mix them with black tights and skirts. I also own the short-sleeve sweater cardigan from Express shown below, on sale now for a measly $29.99!! Grab it and just wear it with a basic long-sleeve shirt (try color! Mine keeps getting paired with purples), makes you look totally current during a quick run to the grocery store or to the movies.

Have I convinced you yet?? Here's nine ways UNDER $100 (yay!) to add this neutral in your wardrobe.

9 Under $100: Bows Galore

I absolutely adore bows! There's something fun and special about a bow being associated with a gift, and well, who doesn't love gifts?! My love of bows grew when the hubs got me the Tiffany & Co. bow pendant necklace for our anniversary (6 years!) this summer. I just adore it. There's something so simple yet so significant about a bow; there's always a lucky person who gets to unwrap it! Whenever I see a tee, a bracelet, anything with a bow I kind of really want it. It just evokes a little excitement.

If you want to embellish with bows -- under $100 -- check out these options! Trust me, you'll feel extra special when you do, and the holiday season is the perfect time to test out this look.

And, don't forget head back to TAGG every Monday for 9 ways to wear a new fabulous style, all under a c-note!

9 Under $100: Little Black Dress

You know it, you love it. It's the LBD (little black dress)! If you're looking for a new option this holiday season, test out one of those hot numbers. Best of all, they're all under $100!

This year, try to think outside your comfort zone when you're on the dress prowl. Don't usually do a one shoulder or something with a more open back? Give it a try. All you've committed to is two minutes in the fitting room. No biggie there. And, need a dress that you can get serious mileage out of? Make sure it's hot and that you feel fabulous, but at the same time not too distinctive. Go for a classic look that can be transformed with jewelry, belts, heels and more. No one will know it's the same dress. Also use these accessories to personalize your dress. Add bold earrings, a chunky necklace. bright-red heels, you name it. There's no rules when it comes to your LBD. Just have fun with it!

For the best fit, opt for a V-neck (though not too low) if you have a bigger chest; surprisingly, a high collar actually makes your chest, and all of you, bigger than you want. Want to hide a few lbs around your mid-section? Opt for an wide-band, empire waist that slightly cinches you at your skinniest part and then floats away from your body. Slim your legs by adding black tights or ones with a slight elongating pattern. It looks chic and it's totally slimming.

Hope you find exactly what you're looking for this holiday season. Cheers!

9 Under $100: Leopard Print

Leopard print is seriously hot this year, but honestly, it's hot almost every year. Here, we're providing nine ways to integrate this perennial favorite into your daily wardrobe without breaking the bank. Keep in mind, it can be challenging. There's nothing worse than a bad leopard pattern. Ruins the look and makes it look cheap, sometimes even when it's not!

Not comfortable with doing this bold look? Wear it in the form of a cami underneath a solid-color cardigan or jacket; wear a bracelet to liven up a look (leopard goes with any color!); even spice up your undergarments... kind of exciting knowing what's underneath that traditional work look! You don't have to be afraid to wear leopard to the office, though. Depending on your profession, recognize you need to tone down your other items to make it work, however definitely go for a pencil skirt, a cardigan or sweater, or even leopard shoes! Every time I wear my leopard platform peep-toe heels, I get a ton of compliments. Best of all, they go with everything. Next up, I want leopard flats!
