OVERALLS FOR LONG LEGS

November 15, 2016/ Alexandra Evjen

Overalls have been back for a couple of years now, and they are remaining in the fashion lime light. Have you gotten your pair yet? Well, I finally have. I have been on the search for a long time, in fact. Shopping for the perfect pair of overalls is like shopping for a bathing suit. It's hard!

It's hard for three main reasons:

Pant length
Perfect butt
Torso

I have long legs, a long torso and hardly any butt, but these Target flared overalls with a flat front are SO flattering and fun. They are only $29.99, and a great way to try a trend without investing too much.

When trying on other overalls the torso was often too short causing major camel toe (eeewww) or the butt was too baggy. Not these overalls!

The wide leg is also a style that long legs can pull off really well. The only problem is figuring out what shoes to wear with them. Skinny jeans give you a pass for the most part on what shoe works. I'm 5'8" so a comfy 1" platform does the trick.

PINTEREST LOOK FOR LESS

October 06, 2015/ Alexandra Evjen

This week we’re bringing you another look for less, based on this top performing pin from Pinterest. (In case you missed the first one, check it out here.) Fall is in full swing, and I’m feeling inspired by chunky, oversized knits. They’re not only comfortable, but super easy to style with just about anything. The sweater pictured in the image below is currently selling on Lulu’s for $129, not exactly budget-friendly, I know. However, you can still get the same look with the “outfit hack” below!

Tilly’s Cat Eye Sunglasses – $9.99

Amazon Watch – $7.79

Oasap Sweater – $25.99

Boohoo Fold Over Clutch – $26

Glamorous Skinny Jeans – $44.98

Forever 21 Booties – $32.90

Total: $148

How will you be styling your chunky knits this fall? Tell me below in the comments or tweet me @avestyles!

September 22, 2015/ Leah Tsonsis

Pinterest is a treasure trove of inspiration. But, have you ever come across an outfit you loved, only to realize you have no idea where to buy it? Or, maybe the items are linked, but they're way out of your budget? Well, that's exactly why I'm introducing a new monthly feature: Pinterest Look for Less. I'll be taking some top performing style pins, and showing you how to recreate the same outfit for under $150.

First up, is this cozy fall ensemble, which has been pinned almost 400 times.
