[I spotted] Stacy Keibler wearing the sickest jumpsuit I have ever seen – I NEED ONE. Can you do a post about awesome (affordable!) one-pieces? —Kat

Jumpsuits and rompers have really gone mainstream which means you can find lots of affordable options. Some are classier than others so just put on your good-taste goggles to sort the haute from the not. Here are some fab jumpsuits under $55 you might like (none quite as amazing as Stacy's but pretty darn close)...

Could you please suggest some budget friendly dresses to wear to a wedding rehearsal dinner as a bridesmaid? —Jennie

Weddings bring out my romantic side, so I tend to reach for dresses in soft colors and floaty fabrics with details like ruffles and lace for things like bridal showers, rehearsal dinners and weddings themselves. What can I say, I'm a total sap. Besides, I hardly ever wear girly things in my everyday life, so I seize these opportunities to show my softer side and would encourage you to do the same!

Here's a lovely hi-low hem dress from Charlotte Russe. I haven't seen it in person but it looks heavenly in this photo:

Floral Hi-Low Challis Dress

I love the flowy feel of this maxi dress from UK Style by French Connection for Sears. It looks way more expensive than it's $28.99 pricetag. Dress it up with bangles, dangly earrings and wedge sandals.




And how dreamy is this pale blue and pink colorblock dress? Swoon. Just $46.99 at ShopRuche.com.




Finally, this ruffle-trim number is demure yet full of fun with a "Kate Spade" attitude. It's available in petite thru plus sizes at Target.com for $24.99, which leaves you plenty of money for shoes (nude pumps would look amazing) and jewelry.

My fiance and I are going on an outdoorsy, backpack summer vacation for a month to Vancouver, Canada, and I want to bring the bare minimum of clothes. Suggestions? —Paula

The easiest way to pack for any vacation is to picture the types of activities you'll be doing, and plan accordingly. Choose pieces that do double duty and plan to dress in layers so you'll be prepared for any weather. I'll be heading to Newfoundland later this summer for two weeks with my husband, so this post will be helpful for my own planning purposes, too!

Let's say you're heading out for a hike on a warm day; you'll be following a well-established trail that's pretty flat with ample shade and cool breezes. Reach for a cotton tank, comfy shorts and sturdy sandals. It's always worth investing a bit more for good footwear, especially when you're going to be doing a lot of walking. Pack a lightweight anorak for those inevitable rainy and/or windy days.

I own the Old Navy version of this dress (shown below). I'd love to see an outfit on the blog using it! —Rachel B., via Pinterest

A striped dress is such a great wardrobe staple. It's unique enough to be interesting yet classic enough to be worn season after season. I've taken you up on the challenge to see if I could style this dress multiple ways, and here's what I came up with (click on any item for details):

My graduation is coming up ... The problem is I don't know what to wear. We have white robes and I don't really want to wear just a plain white dress underneath. Any ideas on how to make myself standout after the ceremony? —Liz

The easiest way to stand out has to be with bright color! As long as you aren't required to wear a white dress to your graduation, go bold with something like this fuchsia number from Express:
