What to Wear to the CFDA Awards if You’re On a Budget

Earlier this week we received a great e-mail from a reader who didn’t know what to wear to the CFDA awards next Monday:

Hi Lauren,

I’m basically in the most amazing predicament of all time–so I can hardly complain, but I do have a question to submit to your (and possibly other Fashionstas) expertise. I just found out that I’m going to be going to the CFDA Awards on June 7th as a guest of an attendee.

Like any person with a pulse, and a proclivity for fashion, I am positively exploding with glee. The models! The designers! I don’t know how I’ll maintain regular breathing. But on to the conundrum.

I have absolutely nothing to wear.

I’ve never been to an event of this fashion caliber, and I feel like I need to “dress the part.” But, I’m eighteen, and not about to drop several thousand dollars on a fully designer ensemble. Do you have any suggestions for wardrobe?

I’d be willing to wade through New York’s vintage shops if you think that would yield a good outfit, but which ones to try?

If you have any advice, I’d greatly appreciate it.

I trust the team at Fashionista more than any other, and I’m not sure who else to ask!
