Television is full of fashion related shows: Project Runway, What Not to Wear, How Do I look?, Mad Fashion, and so on. But do you know what fashion television lacks?
A budget makeover show. A show that makes over the fashion-challenged with fashions from stores regular middle and lower class people can afford. The problem with shows like What Not to Wear and How Do I Look? is the fact that they reclothe the participants in boutique wear: fashions that most of America can't comfortably afford. It makes a lot of women (and men) feel like great fashion sense is not obtainable, atleast not reasonably.
So what if we have a fashion make over show that is partnered with a low budget, or atleast reasonably budgeted store, such as Macy's, JC Penney, or even Wal-Mart or Target. Then viewers can more realistically see themselves as fashionistas. This could also open up the market for such shows sense the intimidation of cost can prevent people from watching shows that indicate how to dress better. it could be a "What Not to Wear: Budget Edition" Hmm..maybe that'll be a good section of this blog..Let's try that out below.
What Not to Wear: on a Budget
Everyday Shoes for the Office
Just Say No
Birkenstock clogs may have been in at some point, but it's not 1998 anymore and wearing these to the office (or anywhere for that matter) is just plain sloppy.
Platform heels at work? Leave the "sexy" at the pole, ladies.
Grandma called..why the hell did you steal her shoes? They might seem comfortable to work all day in, but don't. Just don't.
Try This Instead
Mustard flats from Target, $19.99, have fun with color without going overboard
Basic black pumps with alligator texture from Target, $24.99, goes with EVERYTHING!
Red slingbacks are comfortable and casual for the less formal situations, the low heel will save your feet from blisters and pain, Liz Claiborne, $40
The classic loafer, but in a fun print. Basic black, brown or burgandy also work, but get it in a texture such as alligator, crocodile or snakeskin gives it an updated appeal, Aerosoles, $40
Two toned pumps, sexy and classic: win-win! Target, $34.99
