DIY: Feather Slip

This feather trimmed slip from Your Slip is Showing is a really fun idea.

The slips from this company are such a great idea. They are meant to show under your dress, and are great for those of us that are modesty conscious (especially with the popular skirt length being as short as it is these days). The only problem with this slip is it's $300!

I have a do-it-yourself plan to make yourself a similar slip for not a lot of dough.

First, buy a half slip (in black or white, depending on what kind of dress you plan to wear it with) from your local Wal/K/Tar/Shopmart. You should be able to get them for less than $12.

Then, buy feather trimming to match from a craft store (or you can buy 1 yard increments online here.) Depending on how full you want your slip, you may need more than a yard of trim.

Attach the slip using a sewing machine, or a glue gun. Use what you have.

For less than $20 you can have a fun accessory that can go with many dresses and skirts and will add life to every outfit.

If any of you complete this project, take a picture to share! Email me at uberchicforcheap at gmail dot com.

Thanks for looking, and as always

What are you wearing on New Years?

Do you have a New Year's obligation and nothing to wear? Here are some ideas. You may notice that not everything is on clearance (and no, the sky is not falling), it's just hard to find fabulous holiday digs on clearance. I did my best to find pieces at regularly low prices. Hopefully we'll all be stepping out in style for a night on the town.


The Purple Smocked Cardigan is from Go Jane. Now $16.80 (orig. $20.99). Find it here. (Right now, Go Jane is offering free Ground Shipping on orders of $50 or more.)

This Sequined Tank is also from Forever 21. And it's also $19.80. Find it here.

The Silk/Cotton Sequined Cardigan is from Ann Taylor. It's $39.44 (orig. $99.00). Find it here.

The Ruched Satin Pencil Skirt is from Forever 21. It's $19.80. Find it here. (Picture to right shows the back of the skirt)

The Satin Bow Heels are from Charlotte Russe. They are now $12.49 (orig. $24.99) Find it here. (Right now Charlotte Russe is offering free ground shipping on orders of three items or more.)

You can pair the sequined tank with the smocked cardigan, and if you tuck the tank into the skirt, you can create slim silhouette. Or you can pair the skirt with just the sequined cardigan.

As maybe you have noticed, I am loving all things grey and purple this season, and I think the colors I have here work wonderfully for a party setting.

Thanks again for looking, and as always,

Mervyn's is Closing it's Doors

The Department store Mervyn's is closing it's doors. After filing for bankruptcy in July, the store announced they would only stay open through the holidays. Going out of business sales are an excellent place to find great deals (60% off or more!). So, head over to your local Mervyn's and do me proud.

Find a Mervyn's near you.

PS- Rumor has it that Forever 21 (a personal favorite of über-chic) has acquired some of Mervyn's stores. So, sometime soon we could all have some Forever 21 near and dear to us.

Happy shopping!

Store Spotlight: AMI Clubwear

Ok, so I know what you are thinking, "she's sending me to a site called clubwear, oh dear." And if I was telling you to buy anything but footwear here, you would be right. Even some of the shoes are less than desirable... unless you are really looking for some patent leather thigh high boots, then this is a great place to look. But, the deals on boots here are amazing! Here are a few of my favorites. Some of these come in more than one color, but you may have to look around the site a bit to find the other listings. Believe me, these deals are worth digging for!

Brown Flat Boot $13.08 (orig. $35.99)

Black Flat Boot with Lace-up $9.99 (orig. $27.99)

Brown Heeled Boot $9.99 (orig. $26.99)

Grey Heeled Boot $12.99 (orig. $59.99)

Brown Flat Boot with Stud detail $13.99 (orig. $21.99)

And don't forget AMI is giving an extra 25% off all purchases until Dec. 20th (coupon code: AMIWHOLE25). If you act fast, you will get a screaming deal.

Happy shopping!

2 Great Outfits, One Pair of Jeans

I thought I wouldn't be making many posts as I am very busy at work and all, but I just can't help myself!

Here I have assembled two outfits on a budget.

Outfit one: The tank is from Old Navy, it's available in 5 prints. And it's only $6 (orig. $14.50) Find it here.

The cardigan is from Alloy, and is available in both green and red (how festive!). It's now $9.99 down from $24.50. Find it here.

The boots are from AMI Clubwear. The are just $12.80 down from $54.99! Find them here.

SKINNY JEANS

Skinny jeans are very in right now, and it's hard to get a good deal on them many places. My advice? Go to Ross! If you can't find a pair of skinny jeans at Ross, you aren't looking. Just go to the Juniors jeans section, go to your size and grab 5 pairs in your size and try them on. I got my favorite pair off the clearance rack for $6.99. My guess is that you can get a pair for less than $15.

Find a Ross Dress for Less near you!

Outfit Two:

This skinny belt is from Forever 21 and is just $4.80. Find it here.

The top is from Old Navy, and is available in 3 patterns. It's $15.00 (orig. $29.50). Find it here.

These rosette ballet flats are also from Old Navy, they are available in pink, blue, black, and gray. They are now $10 down from $19.50. Find them here.


That's all for now. Hope to be back with another post soon!
