The Reasonably Prudent Law Student

Betty Suarez is the title character of the ABC comedy, “Ugly Betty.” She’s…interesting in terms of fashion choices. Betty likes bright colors. She likes bright things in general, and stuffed animals, and muffins. And she wears socks with strappy sandals.

Here she is dressed as a hot dog.

And here’s my take on an Ugly Betty costume that’s appropriate for work and ekes in at just above $100.

Stretch Cotton Rib Tank Sweaterdress in Lipstick Red ………. $29
Signature Graceful Jersey Collection in Persimmon ………. $29
The Sash in Coral ………. $16
Yellow Socks ………. $6.99
Miss Me Joanne Slingback Patent Pump in Green ………. $29.95

Colorful, yes?

We’ve got a tank dress from Victoria’s Secret that hits at about the knee. It’s a nice, bright red, and we’re pairing it with…gulp…this persimmon sweater shrug.

The sash can be used as a belt, and it’s in…coral. =/

We’ve got yellow socks with little white stripes, worn with patent green pumps. This is totally something Betty will wear. And if you wear it to work, it’s pretty safe to say you’ll be the most vibrantly dressed person around.
