Karina, please correct me if I'm wrong, because I want to look for your style, but I believe you prefer sleek, edgy, yet somewhat classic styles.  Like you don't do my style (preppy, cutsie, with tons of details), right? 


I'm picturing lots of black, skinny jeans, trendy tops, is this right?  Please guide me real quick, thanks.

I'll look too, I am sooo bored at work today. I am thinking since you don't have a large budget (I'm right there with ya, sister) you'll want versatile peices that can be worn for work or play?


 funky pants that can be dressed up or down


cropped pants only $19.99 at UO


cute tops for work that can also be worn casually


for going out or wearing with a blazer for work


Classic white shirt is always versatile


Large Photoa plain, structured shirt dress for work or with funky acessories for a night out


Large Photopencil skirt (i'd prefer black, personally) is so versatile


fontaine jacketI love this jacket


I'll keep looking if I have time...Hope that helps some

$72


I really like this one.  Wear it alone for those nights when you want to feel like a sex-pot-mamma (heehee, doesn't that make you feel like a naughty girl), or layer the heck out of it under and over.$54


I don't know why, but I just see you in this $79:


Here's a great sporty look that won't make your designer bags look silly ($64 for the top and $59-$69 depending on which pants you like):


 I love a good pair of sunglasses to vamp up a look.  I'm loving movie-star looking sunglasses... these are just one example, but you could easily pick up a pair for under $20:


Hanging out made sexy:
$23 on sale (and you can be more generous with the fabric when layering if so desired:


Transition/casual for $54:


This one's really versatile for $48.  You could wear it alone on a Sunday, or vamp it up with sexy jeans, heels, and a sexy metallic or leather belt around the hip:


Maybe where a belt similar to this one with the top above ($44):


This one could eat up a lot of your budget, but it has the potential for lasting power and seems like it could work for day or night $200 and real leather:


I like these cropped pants because you seem like someone who could really know how to rock 'em right (on sale for $29):


I think this would be a fun jacket for the cropped pants, plus it's not the old standard blazer $68:
 


For $32 you won't need an occasion for some bling like this:


Another fun shoe with some glam; on the cheap for $28:


More sporty for $34 on the hoodie:


For turning heads ($48, also in black):


Ok, I hope this helps or provides inspiration.  Have fun looking for stuff!
