tobecontinuedm asked: I am going to a wedding with my boyfriend this December. I am also going to my school's winter formal right after, so I need a dress that can do double duty! I am not looking to spend a lot since I have a lot of dresses already (preferably under $50), and I also want anything but black! Any recommendations? Thank you!

ourkinddear asked: Hi Carly! I'm going to boyfriend's fraternity's upcoming fall formal and need a dress to wear! It's a really nice frat so I need to look like a million bucks, but I need to stay on a college girl's tight budget. Any suggestions for what to wear? I want to look feminine and nice and put together!
royalsoutherncharm asked: Do you own colored jeans? I know you've posted about red jeans in the past...where do you recommend buying colored denim? How do you recommend wearing colored denim?
lizroebuck asked: What kind of jackets are appropriate for work during the fall and spring? I graduated from college in June and don't want to wear my tried and true fleece to work when it's cool out. I have a nice wool coat that I'll wear once it gets really cold, but right now it's in the 50s. Thanks!

dieyoung-and-staypretty-deactiv asked: Do bloggers do much editing? I mean obviously you edit and review your newsletter before sending it out, but what about your blog posts? If so, did your editing/ censorship come with its popularity and readership? Just curious! Thanks!
alillygirlandherpearls asked: I'm a college student who just started volunteering at a hospital. They require women to wear black, navy, brown, or khaki pants and rubber-soled shoes. Do you have any suggestions where I can buy some not-hideous pairs of pants? As for shoes, I'm not a fan of wearing athletic shoes with nice slacks, so what route should I go for comfort and style? I have your same Eastland loafers, but...
