Ask Anya & Lara's Look for Less: Navy with White!

In today's episode of Look for Less, Anya Sarre brings you a version of "The Insider" host Lara Spencer's cool, on-air ensemble for under $100.

Watch the video to see how you can get Lara's look, and read Anya's answers to your fashion questions -- and then send more fashion questions to Anya!

Q: What kind of shoes, skirts and dresses should I wear if I have skinny ankles and legs? I need your help.

A: With skinny ankles and legs, you are lucky to be one of the few people who can wear an ankle strap shoe. A shoe with a strap on normal legs can make a person’s legs look bigger. But for you, I’m sure it will look great! As far as skirts and dresses go, make sure they fall right above the knee.

Q: Hey Anya, I'd Like to know the black dress you are wearing when you are giving the style tips for the blue blouse, black skirt and copper belt. Where is that dress from? Also your fuchsia dress with the wrap in front.

A: Both of the dresses are from Nanette Lepore. You can find them at www.nanettelepore.com or at the Beverly Hills location. The phone number is (310) 281-0004. Thanks for watching!

Q: Hi--I am having a very high-end wedding shower, and I am wearing a bright yellow dress. What color shoes should I wear?

A: Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Your shower sounds lovely. When wearing a bright yellow dress, stick with neutral colors like gold and nude. Let the color yellow take center stage.

Q: I'm 35, I don't wear dresses. What type of pants and shirt would be appropriate for a wedding in September? Thanks.

A: There are no pants and shirt appropriate for a wedding. If you don’t wear dresses, please wear a dressy suit in black or navy. This way, you are just as dressy as the other guests who will be in dresses. Wearing pants and a shirt to a wedding will probably not make the bride happy, and no one wants to upset a bride! Thanks for watching!

Q: I’m 25 years old. I would like to know, what's a good outfit to wear on a first date for this coming fall?

A: Great question! On a first date, you want to look smart and sweet. Go with a simple black dress and purple cardigan or a pair of crisp dark jeans with a printed blouse and charcoal gray cardigan over. FYI – You want to look nice for a first date, but not high maintenance. Have fun, but just remember to be yourself!
