Dress to impress.

Let’s face it. Times are tough and many people are cutting back on extra spending. You may not be able to shop at those high-end department stores for a moment or two, but that doesn’t mean you still can’t look fierce.

Fashion stylist Nolé Marin is telling us how to look hot on a budget!

Get Nolé’s tips now!

#1. Pair faux leather with dresses for a modern edge.
Just say faux. This entire look is by Rachel Roy. The faux leather jacket is $149 and the swing dress is just $109. Those cuffs are $75 and the heels can be yours for $99.

#3. Invest in multi-functional garments and save money on additional outfits.
The best way to save money is to buy pieces that you can wear multiple ways. Remember, be creative and use your wardrobe to make a statement.

This Norma Kamali dress for Wal-Mart is only $24 and can give you 7 — yes 7 — different looks!

Walk away with those Christian Siriano shoes for Payless for $39.99.

#4. Invest in garments with embellishments and save on accessories.
Embellishments are in this fall. Go easy on the accessories and let your embellished wardrobe pieces make a statement.

The Charlotte Ronson boyfriend jacket is $72, which is the perfect pairing with the embellished t-shirt for $36.

The faux leather leggins, also by Charlotte Ronson, are $50 and can be paired with other tops to create multiple looks.

The Christina Siriano shoes are from Payless and will cost you $49.99.

  3. Hi Wendy- I saw this show on Tuesday and loved it. AWESOME dress from Norma Kamali for WalMart- I ordered mine on walmart.com with express shipping and it came today…I LOVE IT! Thanks Wendy for introducing me to fabulous fashion for less…I would have spent $300 for a dress like this! I took a peek and it comes in a wine color also :)

    For everyone else out there, I highly recommend it…perfect for day and night and SO comfortable!

  4. Wendy – I just wanted to write a comment about Chris Rock. This business of good hair bad hair is going too far. Those of us that wears wigs and weaves do not need to be critized because we do. Chris certainly did speak about Beyonce and her weave, but failed to talk about the fact that his wife does indeed wear a weave and he knows this. He said that he is not concerned about that, and whatever she has he accepts. Bull Crap!!!!!!!!!!

    Some of us still work in Corporate America and do not need a white girl looking up besides our heads and asking if that is a weave or a wig we’re wearing. Too much publicity is being given to this topic here lately . All of the black talk show hosts are being used to promote this idea and talking about it on the air, you Tara,Monique, and even Oprah.

    I know you want to support him, but there are other ways to do it. At times, it is always being said that we are trying to mimic the white girl when we are getting our weaves and wigs and we are not. We are trying to cut some time out of our busy days, by not having to use curling irons and hot rollers each day. No wonder our Black Men are moving to to the non blacks because too much emphasis is given to this lately. To me, it is plain ignorance..

    I cannot meet a man these days unless he is looking at my head and wondering if that is my real hair. Well, I know it is mine because I did not steal it.

    My Mother was a really classy lady and raised me to never let anybody know everything there is to know about you. One should always leave some things to the imagination. But, somehow I feel, the 25-40 years of age,men and women, haven’t the foggiest idea about what being classy is. Class is a demeanor and cannot be purchased with large sums of money.

    I just thought I’d send in this comment on to you.

  5. Hi Wendy,
    How you doing? I Love your show.I watch it all the time.I need advice on how to finding a nice good looking shoe.I am 4foot 4inch tall and i wear size 12 and 1 in kids sizes and i am having trouble in finding good looking shoes.When i look at your show you always look so nice,pretty and very outgoing.If i was standing beside you i wold reach a little bit to your waist because you are very tall lady.I hope one day i get to see you mentioning my question on tv. thankyou bye

  6. Wendy, I am a Wendynesta. I love, love the show and you. I am a fan, the blogs are saying that the show is suffering because of the A list black celebs, wont come to your show because of the past. They are saying that the rating s are low. Fight, fight like your life depends on it. I love the show and you.

    Here’s what I would like for you to do, parlley that into the positive.

    Find a way to make them want to come to you. You can do it. You ask Tyler Perry to come on the show, he will. Stop the madness. Prove it Wendy, you are strong.

  7. Hello Wendy,
    I also enjoyed the show on Recessionistas. As with the other responders, I really liked the Christian Siriano Black/Gold Pumps shown with the 7 ways black dress, but I just viewed the Payless website and they were no where to be found. Please help. Thanks Wendy, have a great day!

  8. Hi Wendy,

    I have gone on line for days now under Payless,com looking for those Siriano boots. You know the black pleather boot with the open to and silver zipper up the fron.

    Please help.

    Thanks and love you and your show sooooooo much girl!

  9. Hi Wendy! Just wanted you to know that I watch your show EVERY night from far away land… Austin, Texas! I simply love your style and I believe women (and younger girls) and inspired by your stylish flare for fashion and your great buying sense. This is why I love to watch!

    On this episode of “Being a Fierce Fashionista” I have something to add. I am the owner & designer of a curvy women’s clothing line.. Toombas Jeans & Denim Wear! Toombas are a new brand of denim sweeping through the major cities in Texas and quickly catching the eye of women. Our jeans are known for giving women that hip-hugging, no-gap waist, comfort fit that gives them the confidence to say, “I LOVE MY CURVES!”

    We know women have been skeptical for years about clothing made for curvaceous women, even with the current curvy jean craze, but we’re here to let women know that our main mission is to give them a better fit of clothing and keep them stylish without leaving them broke! We feel like what more could you ask for then great fitting, quality jeans that are actually affordable? Our price range is lower than the other major “curvy” jean lines and we carry a larger size range than most denim lines in general. These are some of the reasons we have dozens of testimonials from Real Women who have fallen in love with our jeans already. Now we just want the rest of the world to fall in love with them too! We’d love for you to try a pair or to be featured in your next “mini fashion show”! Until then keep it HOT & CLASSY! How You Doin.. http://www.toombas.net

  10. wendy i watch your show every now and then, just to get a feel as to who you are. you had as hot topic, the jacksons possible reality show, you stated that mrs katherine jackson was in agreement with that decision, however that is not the case. make sure of your information, as you should know she is the guardian of mj’s children and she has the say as to whats what.

  11. Sister you WORK,Thank you for giving my mornings smiles,laughs and great hot topics,dont change a thing you are a shining example of just do you,oh and – How you doin’,luv u for having a show this GOOD!- sister from another mother,Deb

  12. Hi Wendy & Staff,

    Okay I went to Payless Shoes before going to work and was not able to locate the Black peep-toe-boots. Any ideas when I can find them in the San Francisco Bay Area?

  13. Wendy, I brought my daughter and 5 of her friends to see Justin Bieber today. It was fabulous and your staff is fantastic. I shouted how beautiful and thin you are in person; that was not an insult. You just really are beautiful in “real life”. What you did to my daughter I’m not sure but it was certainly great. We have been listening to Justin everyday for months. Now it is sure to never end!! Hope you like the blanQuette I gave to you. Please enjoy it with my sincere thank you for making all “my girls” soooo happy!!!

  14. I love the Wendy Show…I love the wavy wig not the straight one. The straight one seems to make Wendy look older??? I used to be a hair dresser so I can tell!

    Kepp it coming…….Love, Wendi from NC

  15. I’ve been trying to locate those Christina Siriano peeptoe boots on the Payless website to no avail. Those shoes are hot and the price is right! Please help me and the other shoe hounds locate them. Thank You! One other thing: I really enjoy your show and although it comes on rather late, the nights I catch it I always say, “I could hang with her” – you say the things most of us think but don’t get to say. Keep up the good work because you are “doing” fine girl!

  16. Wendy please do not put that jump suit on again you look so good every day and to wear that it did not do any thing for the doll.
    Love you.

    Gigi

    P.S. I was out in the rain here in Atlanta early this morning getting hearing aid batteries so my 89 year old Grandmother could watch your show this morning!!
    Love You Wendy!!

  19. I too rushed to the site Wendy to get the peep toe boots and I dont see them on Payless site. Please help us find them. How you doin’ !!!! Thanks,

  20. Hey Wendy,

    How you doing? I love the show and I’m totally a fashion person. I want those black boots with the gold zipper from Payless but I can’t find them. Please help me find them. Keep up the good work. I don’t go to bed until after the Wendy Williams show.
