Recreating Fashion

 So few years ago, I had a favorite TV show that sadly doesn't air anymore. It was called "The Look for Less" and it was on the Style Network. In this show they would take a runway look and run through the mall with a small budget and have to recreate the look in under an hour. I always admire runway looks, but at the same time they are totally out of my price range. So I always find it fun to recreate looks and see how much a similar look would cost me. There's nothing wrong with becoming inspired and recreating these designer looks to match your budget, and its pretty easy!

LOOK 1 - Nicole Miller S/S 2014 

(these pants alone are $510!)

What I found..

LOOK 2 - Tadashi Shoji S/S 2014 

What I found...

LOOK 3 - WHIT S/S 2014 

What I found...

I did this all online, which makes it easier to browse and search for specific styles and colors. Hope this inspires you to do the same! If you aren't confident about putting outfits together this is also a great strategy to use when you see something you like. It doesn't have to be from the runway either, it could be from celebrities, magazines or even someone you see walking on the street!

Outfit Diary #3

Todays outfit diary I am obsessed over. This outfit was so comfortable (it felt like I was bumming it) and I love that. It seemed effortless to put together, something I sometimes struggle with. It is appropriate for  a casual outing as well as semi-casual! I wore it to school for the first day of the semester. I seem to always be an hour away from home at school many days so, I need to have outfits that are comfortable to sit in all day and also have a slim chance of malfunctioning (I cant just drive an hour casually to change!). Back to the outfit-  I have a love for structured polyester shirts. If they are made correctly they can have great structure and they look nicer (and dressier) than a cotton fabric. SO I paired my shirt with the MOST COMFORTABLE jeggings from Macy's. If you don't own any I would suggest to invest in some, my best decision ever. My chain necklace is also a trend i've fell in love with recently, and I finally found one I liked at forever 21. Stacking rings has also become one of my favorite things. My favorite things change ALOT but adding a few extra rings gives the look something a little extra, and i'll always go for a little extra bling! So stack em' up! Slightly transitioning into dark fall colors, I still wanted to have a semi-summer look so I paired my attire with nude flats. Saving the best for last I want to talk about my purse for a second.......because I just love it so much. Kate Spade makes the cutest purses, jewelry, tech items, totes, shoes, clothes...okay i'm done. But seriously everything is amazing! This purse is perfect to complete any look.
