Great Holiday Outfits On A Budget
If you want to look your best this holiday season but you're tight on cash, consider five outfits brought to The Early Show Wednesday by Amy Goodman of All You magazine.
They're for five different body types, and the best part is -- each costs less than $100!
All You 's slogan is "life with a reality check," and you could call the fashions on the show glamour for a real woman's figure, on a budget.
The video of the segment is beneath the details below.
OUTFIT 1: For Boyish Figure
For a boyish figure, finding a sexy outfit can be a challenge. This dress emphasizes the curves, and the hemline emphasizes her legs.
Black Dress from Bisou Bisou

$70

OUTFIT 2: Sleek Line Needed
The issue here is creating a sleek line. The top goal here is to slenderlize her mid-section. The empire waist here helps that a good deal, and the pleats in the bodice and the skirt create a sleek line.
Dress: Red with black accents by Studio 1940
$50 at Fashion Bug
Shoes: Chadwick
Jewelry by Old Navy
OUTFIT 3: For Full Hips, Pear Shape
Some people have to de-emphasize midsections, some people need to slender down those hips. Bria, our model here, has full hips and a pear shape. Soft, flowing fabrics help here, as do necklines with embellishments.
Dress: Roulette
Available at Macys
Price: $99.00
Shoes: Frankie by Rampage $40
Jewelry by Icing
OUTFIT 4: For Thick-Wasted Women
The problem here is slimming out a thick waist. Avoid any detailing or emphasis to the hip area.
Dress: Purple with a Gray and offwhite line down the center
Signature by Bobbie Bee, $99
Shoes: Hailey by Unlisted $50
Jewelry by Icing
OUTFIT 5: For Petite Women
This emphasizes the height of someone who is petite. The best thing to do here is to draw the eye to the neckline, with detailing or sparkling accents. Selecting high waist lines is always a plus, and full skits can overwhelm a petite frame.
Dress: Black dress by Bisou Bisou, $70
Available at JC Penney
Fushia shawl by Old Navy
Shoes: Rialto by Chinese Laundry, $50
