"  &amp;#039;Tis the season for stylish (i.e. expensive) party dresses and shoes that look gorgeous for the night...but don&amp;#039;t see the light of day until your next big shindig. If you&amp;#039;re sick of spending tons of money on clothes with an expiration date, you might be happily shocked at what our college trend reporters came up with. Cheap chic holiday options are out there - it&amp;#039;s just a matter of fighting the crowds at the mall to find the perfect look for you - and finding a way to work it into your existing wardrobe to get more bang for your buck. Sequins: Skip the flashy dress and go with a cutting edge piece or accessory. This PINK bling tank is super-cute, but I absolutely love these &amp;quot; target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot;&amp;amp;gt;Urban Outfitters sequined tap shorts ($28.00). Pair them with a black boyfriend blazer, tights, and ankle boots, and you have a Gossip Girl - inspired look that will earn you raves all evening. Zippers: Upscale elegance without the designer price tags, zippered clothing is a hot new trend you can easily dress up or down. I&amp;#039;m adding this &amp;quot; target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot;&amp;amp;gt;black denim party dress from Bloomingdales ($74.00) to my personal Christmas list, and suggest you do the same. After all, can&amp;#039;t you just picture yourself wearing it all over campus with a cute cardigan, leg warmers, and your favorite boots? Hey, it might be better to give that to receive, but when it comes to making a fashion statement, even Santa approves of a well-dressed &amp;quot;elf!&amp;quot; You can get even more hot holiday fashion tips like these at UniversityChic.com "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
