Gretchen Rossi’s Watch What Happens Live Look for Less.

In my opinion, Gretchen Rossi has the best style out of all the OC Housewives and I love the fact that she usually buys her dresses on a budget {mainly at Bebe}. However, sometimes she pulls an Emily Maynard on us and pairs Louboutins with affordable duds like her outfit from last night on Watch What Happens Live. Get the look without the Louboutin below.

Dress:  Jenna Embellished Waist Dress – $98

Belt: Dorothy Perkins Gold hinged elastic belt – $12

Shoes: Enzo Angiolini ‘Tolten’ Slingback Pump Gold – $100

Real & Steal: Gretchen Rossi’s Ombre Dress from RHOC Intro.

Dating Slade probably keeps Gretchen on a budget, which means she still shops at mall stores like Bebe that are accessible to those of us without a reality show. The exact coral/pink ombre dress worn by Gretchen in the Season 7 RHOC intro is sold out but you can get it in blue for $109 or pick up a similar Bebe option for just $119.

LFL: Gretchen Rossi’s Straw Fedora with Black Band from RHOC.

I am in a silent protest against my cable provider for being assholes (I hate you Comcast!) so I have rarely been watching TV lately. To get my updates on the Real Housewives I check out Bravo.com instead. I guess I missed out on a lot in the past month or so because Gretchen is BFFs with Tamra and Tamra actually had her implants downsized?! You know times are changing when an OC housewife has her implants removed! Hope you all have a relaxing weekend and don’t forget to enter my giveaway to win a fringe bikini, ends Monday!

MUDD Straw Fedora – $17

Gretchen Rossi’s Straw Cloche with Black Band from RHOC.

After searching for a similar hat to the one Gretchen Rossi wore on RHOC I discovered that this style of hat is called a ‘cloche’ for those of us not familiar with hat lingo. I am so used to writing about fedora’s I had never come across a cloche…now I know. Get Gretchen’s cloche look for less than $13. (I’m pretty sure I saw some cloches at Target if you want to check that out as well!)

The Look for Less: Alexis Bellino’s Off Shoulder Top with Rosettes.

Shout out to reader Kaitlin for the request of Alexis Bellino’s off shoulder top with pleated rosettes. It looks reminiscent of many BCBG tops I have seen but I couldn’t find the exact one. It probably costs hundreds of dollars anyway so I did the next best thing and found a similar smocked style with pleated rosettes for just under $26. Happy Tuesday! x, tb

Real Housewives of O.C. Season 6 Looks for Less: Peggy’s Coral Maxi Dress, Gretchen’s Tribal Necklace & Alexis’ White Belted Dress.

Did anyone else watch the cut out scenes from RHOC last night? I was shocked at some of the moments that never aired…particularly Lynn and Gretchen’s argument over their “purse lines”. Oh, how I will miss my O.C. gals this summer. To get us through the next few months without them I thought I would cover some random RHOC looks for less you have been asking for that I recently discovered. If there are any looks for less from RHOC you want that I haven’t covered yet, share them with me.
