Mini dresses and mini skirts are the perfect "mod" style to incorporate into your wardrobe this Autumn with tights, or thigh high socks and a pair of boots. I purchased this mini, sleeveless jean dress from Old Navy for less than $2.00. Most Old Navy's accept online orders returned to the store will tend to mark down an online order to 90% as it is typically a one of a kind item in the store, and must be moved off the floor as quick as possible. Underneath my jean dress, I layered a warm grey sweatshirt I also found on sale at one of my favorite stores, H&M. What I love most about this mini dress, is the versatility. You can wear this dress alone in the middle of Summer, with a frilly, floral shirt in Spring, or with a sweatshirt/turtleneck in Autumn or Winter, and a pair of tights!
To complete the look, I added a pair of pearl earrings, and lace up denim boots purchased from Shophopes.com! - Chelsea Nicole, The Mod Little Melanin

Khaki green is one of my favorite colors to wear in the Autumn/Winter months, so when I can apply a double dose of khaki green to my look, I go for it! \n \nBelieve it or not, my top is actually a shirt dress from Burlington Coat Factory that I conveniently tucked into my skirt as a top. It features a high-low silhouette, and has a button-down front. What I liked most about pairing this dress with my khaki green mini skirt, is that the dress peeks out a bit from underneath the skirt. Layering your pieces is a great way to create a variety of looks, and stretch your wardrobe, especially if you are on a tight budget like me! My mini skirt is a clearance find from Misguided.com, and was on sale for $8.00 last summer with free shipping. Missguided is still a hidden gem that many have yet to discover, and is my go-to store for online purchases that others will not yet have. After all, "fast fashion" is always one step ahead across the pond!
I completed the look with a pair of tan, lace up creeper-style shoes from Ego Shoes and button earrings. - Chelsea Nicole, The Mod Little Melanin I opted to style my burgundy, bodycon dress for this look in a comfy, yet casual manner. Simply add a plaid, button down top to your dress, and tie it slightly above your waist. My button down is actually a shirt dress from Forever 21. It features a graphic print on the back that states "I've got the passion for fashion." To dress up the look, I added a pair of lace-up boots to my outfit. These boots are a staple in my winter wardrobe, and were purchased at the end-of-season from Charlotte Russe for $15.00! They're super comfy and can be styled in a variety of ways.
- Chelsea Nicole, The Mod Little Melanin. The temperature is dropping and so are all new Autumn looks on The Mod Little Melanin! Continue reading below for a look that is sure to keep you stylish on a chilly day! The key to successfully styling an Autumn look in the South is layers! If you reside below the Mason Dixon, you're well aware that the temperature can start below 50 degrees in the morning, and creep up into the mid-70s by afternoon. Layering your Autumn look helps to keep you warm in the morning, and cool in the afternoon. The focal point of this look was my plaid, school girl skirt I purchased from Old Navy for only 0.98 cents a few seasons ago. This skirt easily transitions from one season to the next with a few minor adjustments. For this look, I paired the skirt with a button-down chambray shirt, from H&M and layered a "fur-like" vest over the entire outfit for warmth. I scored this faux fur vest at Forever 21 during their most recent BOGO sale. To complete the look, I added a pair of light denim lace up boots from Shophopes.com that have become a staple in my wardrobe when transitioning between seasons. My lipstick is a Kylie Kosmetics dupe of Posie K that I discovered at my local beauty supply store for only $1.99. I'll be posting a full makeup dupe haul in the comimg weeks documenting this particular dupe. My hoop earrings are another beauty supply store find, and were only $0.99! Don't sleep on the beauty supply store for all your makeup and accessory needs! - Chelsea Nicole, The Mod Little Melanin
