Bargain POTW
By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on August 21st, 2008
If back-to-school time still gives you preppy flutters in your tummy (even if you’re no longer starting classes) this Tommy Hilfiger cardigan might be right up your alley.
The Lawrence cardigan, on sale for $39, definitely has a dose of Gossip Girl style, with a sleek collegiate look. Wear it full-on prep school with a button-down shirt and blazer, or play down that aspect with a plain top, jeans and tough boots. Either way the diagonal stripes will be flattering.
For those actually hitting the books this fall (and those still paying off their debt for the opportunity) might not find $39 to be a bargain. But look at it this way, you’d probably pay $40 full price for a sweater you really like, and Tommy’s knits last a long time.

I might have a little too much on top to pull off this ruffly, pleated bodice. But that’s the great thing about my job – if I love something but it’s not right for me I get to share it with all of you!

We’re really digging the colors and patterns on the dresses in Old Navy’s new neon nights collection.
The georgette halter dress, shown on left in the allover print, could go everywhere from a graduation party to chic seaside dinner. It’s just $39.50.
The halter dress on the right, $34.50, is a little sweeter and more casual. Run errands or hang around the house in style.

Bargain POTW, Ethical Fashions

Unfortunately, organic and ethically made clothing doesn’t usually come cheap, or else it wouldn’t be such a struggle getting designers and retailers to clue in.
But we wanted to bring you more than a t-shirt, and something less than $100 to qualify as a bargain (we usually shoot for less than $50, but this is a special occasion).
And so we found this organic french terry dress from C&C California, on sale for $69.

You can’t open a tabloid without seeing a celebrity draped in a gauzy scarf for spring. Our pick? This Apt. 9 dip-dye linen scarf from Kohl’s.
Also available in beige and olive, the style mimicks the ombre fabrics so popular this season. At only $11.99 it’s a great piece to punch up a casual outfit.

While scarves are a good way to get a little piece of a luxury brand, like Hermes, they can also be cheapie accessories that allow you to switch up your look to stock up on.
Obviously, the two scarves at left, from Target for $8.99, aren’t made of silk – more like polyester. But the color combinations could be really great for spring, especially with a white top or dress.
I’m always impressed with the cute prints and wide variety of scarves at Target, they’re usually by the belts. So be sure to peruse the selection next time you’re there.

This is another one of those bargain picks where the term bargain is relative. This Prada fabric bag is on sale for about half off at $468. The chain handle and details on this bag make it look more expensive than it is, and we like that it’s a brown evening bag instead of a black one. It’s something you might not already have in your closet and a little more distinctive.

In honor of Isaac Mizrahi’s big news, we decided to peruse his short-lived collection for Target for our bargain pick of the week.
Even though calling everything and anything coutore is sort of a pet peeve of ours, we still really liked this taffeta couture bodice dress in bing cherry for only $49.99. It comes in lots of other colors, including basic black, if you like the cut but not the hue.
The Audrey Hepburn silhouette will obviously look lovely on the slim, but the waist is also high enough to camouflage heftier hips.

A lot of items on the Abercrombie & Fitch Web site are on clearance right now, which means that they’re now at somewhat reasonable prices. But in the case of this Candace short-sleeve shirt, you really are getting a bargain at $9.90. With spring just around the corner, this is a great staple to have in your closet for when the weather warms up. Or wear it now with oh-so-fashionable layers.

Sometime during her Sex and the City costume designer years, Patricial Field’s name became forever linked with Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo in the footwear category. And now you can get her high-fashion, Emmy-award winning, Sarah Jessica Parker-approved style at Payless – who would have predicted? Our bargain pick of the week is her Tempura platform, $40, actually the only pump in her limited edition holiday collection. There’s also a chic boot and a clutch, but we feel the platform is the most Patricia.
