If you'd rather save some of your hard-earned cash for other necessities, try these Joe Boxer lace thongs, just $4.99 through 6/13 at Kmart.com. These sassy underthings come highly recommended by reader Nikki (read her entertaining testimonial here). Thanks, Nikki!

Would you splurge on the designer brand or save with Kmart?

A reader named Annie asked me to track down a budget-friendly version of this dress (shown at right), and as luck would have it, I just saw a similar style at Express for $59.50 (see below).

With so many colorful options for dresses at the moment, it's nice to remember that a little black dress is always flattering, always in style, and always a great value.

I love how the party-goer shown here accessorized her LBD with fringe-embellished black heels, a killer black bag and what appears to be an oversized watch or bangle. Oh, and let's not forget the perfectly coiffed hair and sunkissed tan! Very cute!




Got another option for Annie? Do tell!
