Frugal Fashionista: Holiday Party Chic for Under $50

Welcome to my latest Washingtonian.com series, the Frugal Fashionista.

Every other week, we’ll ask a local stylista to complete a task—some seasonal and some just for fun—on a budget. Think of it as a Washington-focused “The Look for Less,” the Style Network TV show that creates a particular look on a budget.

For our inaugural issue, we’ve asked resident DC blogger Makeda Saggau-Sackey of the Glamazon Diaries to come up with a holiday party outfit for under $50.

Frugal Fashionista: Are you up to the challenge?

Deacon is starting a new series for Washingtonian.com called The Frugal Fashionista, modeled after The Frugal Foodie series already on the site.

Every other week (for now), we'll ask stylish Washingtonians to complete a given task on a budget - holiday party wear for under $50, an office-worthy combo for $75, or an inaugural ball gown for under $200.

There's just one little catch: we need your help to come up with some of the initial scenarios and task masters and mistresses.

If you're interesting in submitting an idea or want to be challenged, shoot us an e-mail to DeaconDoesDC@gmail.com. We promise, no idea is too small, no gal or guy too new to try this task.

As we type, Makeda of The Glamazon Diaries is hard at work on her first task ... and we can't wait to see the results!

Love,
Deacon & McLean
