5 Valentine’s Day Outfit Picks

Posted on February 4, 2015 by garishgal

Whether you have that perfect someone to spend Valentine’s day with or not, you deserve to splurge on yourself! While my special someone happens to be dinner with my best friend, I still plan on rocking a great look!

I’ve never really been into Valentine’s Day, I am one of those people that believe I should be treated amazing every day and not just one day of the year (and of course vice versa). I’ve decided this V-Day is about loving myself and those who have been by my side every step of the way instead!

My best friend has been my rock for 15 years and I am SO proud of the women we have become over the past year. So its time to celebrate our love of ourselves and our friendship, to celebrate the challenges we have faced and overcome by each others’ sides, and to look forward to our futures. Sure we may be single, but loving yourself is the first step into being able to truly love others when it comes to a relationship. SO Happy I love Me Day- I’ll be rocking a Garish Gal Dress and my favorite heels.

Steal vs. Splurge

Posted on January 7, 2015 by garishgal

At Garish Gal we pride ourselves in finding great quality, fashion forward pieces, at an affordable price!

Our buyers are constantly looking for products that look like higher end pieces without that insane price tag!

So it is only fitting that we share our Steal vs. Splurge inspiration!

1. Pleated Midi Skirt– A lot of readers have asked how to wear a midi skirt without aging your look. Finding a great midi skirt can be challenging! If you aren’t sure about the whole idea, spending a lot of money on a trendy skirt doesn’t seem logical. However, instead you can grab our version of this skirt at a MUCH better price. Tibi has a great midi skirt, but the price is at bank breaking status. At Garish Gal, we were looking for a great, comparable piece that doesn’t leave you without grocery money for the next month or two.

2. Jogger Pants– The athletic trending jogger pants have become a fall/winter staple this season. BB Dakota has a great, budget friendly version that is easy to wear and extremely comfortable. Current/Elliot has a couple of pairs in their current collection that are a little more pricey, so grabbing the BB Dakota pair is a no brainer.

3. Pleather Shift Dress– This is one of my favorite dresses in my closet. I literally wear it all the time. In warmer weather I throw on a pair of heels and wear it to dinner. Since the Midwest chill has set in, I usually throw on tights, a cardigan, and a scarf to warm up my look (like pictured below). True Religion has an extremely similar looking shift dress for a lot more. On Garish Gal, Rodella is $57 on sale!

Steal vs. Splurge

4. Envelope Skirt– I love this update to the pencil skirt. Still work appropriate, but also sexy- this skirt is a great wardrobe add. Alexander Wang has a beautiful blue envelope skirt that the model is casually wearing. This skirt body is great because it can be worn to work, or worn as a casual look. Alexander Wang has a similar version that will cost you a pretty penny to test out this trend.

1 Dress 3 Ways

Posted on October 13, 2014 by garishgal

Leather is a huge trend for fall and at Garish Gal we LOVE leather.

As you shop the site, that love will become apparent!

This dress is Zocia. She is a great piece because she is a pleather and ponte mix.

What is Ponte?

Ponte is a thicker, stretchy material that is flattering on all body shapes. It is also super comfy!

Zocia can be worn multiple ways and for multiple occasions. Above we restyle her for three different situations: Casual Day Look, Easy Work Look, and a Girls Night Out Look.

Look 1:

The first look was created solely with accessories. By adding a jacket, black booties, a fun necklace, and a matching purse- You create a casual day look that can be worn on chilly fall days. The accessories create a whole new look for Zocia!

Look 2:

The second look is a great work look. Of course Zocia would look amazing by herself, but by adding a graphic printed scarf we add pattern play that makes the dress a little more interesting. Pairing with a great fall bootie makes the look work ready.

Look 3:

The final look is our revamp of Zocia. By adding a graphic envelope clutch and a sexy pair of heels Zocia instantly becomes edgy and head turning. The light pink hues contrast the edgy with a delicate, feminine touch. A perfect look for going out with the girls or your guy!

Ravishing in Red is a great dress for the upcoming holiday season. She is a beaded shift dress, so she looks good on any body type. This is a holiday party must have dress.

Rodella is my absolute favorite dress! She is perfect for any season and any occasion. Wear her to work with a blazer, heels, and a statement necklace. Wear her on a casual fall day with our Edison Cardigan, a cute necklace, and booties. Wear her on a night out by adding heels and a killer necklace. Rodella is a wardrobe staple.

Orange You Glad I Came is the perfect mix of fun and flirty. The ruffles create a pretty feminine look! She is a shift dress as well, so her fit will be flattering to all. She is a great date night dress or perfect for the workplace.

Finally, Perfect Pleat is a great way to transition your maxi love into fall. The long sleeves and high low hem add a fun update to your summer maxis. You can also dress her up with heels or rock her during the day with a pair of ankle boots. Either way, Perfect Pleat is a perfect match for your fall wardrobe.
