Velvet Underground — The CheapChica's Guide to Style


Velvet Underground

by cheapchica11 on January 23, 2010

Velvet can sometimes be a very tricky fabric…

I love the richness, the feel and the luxury of something so soft, but it always stumps me when it comes to to wearing it correctly. I think the problem might be my association with it…I think of velvet and images of Renaissance festivals and people who spend too much time in their Dugeons and Dragons RPG games come to mind.

But when I came across this adorable short Velvet Jacket at Banana Republic on clearance for $50 I was determined to create an outfit that was all me and perfect for a fun night out on the town!

I think the casualness of the striped t-shirt (only $13.80) paired with blingy and bold jewelry (this bracelet costs less than $10) really make it work! And while no item in this set cost more than $50, you’ll feel like a million bucks in it!

Oh I love that whole outfit! So cute, and the tulip skirt might be my fave part.
