As much as I love a good investment piece, there are few things a lot more satisfying than finding a terrific bargain. Today, I’m rounding up eight of my a lot of popular looks from the past few months and sharing ways to get a similar look without breaking the bank.
You can click each image below to go back to the original post where you’ll find all of the original outfit details and links, but check out the widget underneath each image to see similar pieces for re-creating the outfit at a budget-friendly price. Let the fun begin!
#1 // Blue blazer + classic Whites
Look For Less:
< >
A snappy blazer atop an all-white ensemble is a killer way to make a statement while maintaining that effortlessly-polished-to-perfection look. Whether you’re heading to the office or to drinks with friends, this outfit can take you there. This double-breasted beauty made from Italian wool is probs something you don’t want to miss, and these white wide-leg trousers will be on constant rotation all year long.
#2 // Gingham dress + Basket Bag
Look For Less:
< >
Few things yell “summer” like gingham (except for rosé maybe). This classic one-shoulder number is the quintessential wear-everywhere summer dress, kinda like the pal you drag to spin class then to brunch then to shopping. I’m also obsessing over this gingham appeal as well…
#3 // Black leather jacket + classic Denim
Look For Less:
< >
Aaand welcome to my off-duty uniform! I a lot more or less wear some version of this outfit any day the temperature ranges from 40 to 70 degrees. A killer leather jacket is always the star of the show, these cool cropped partner jeans are incredibly stretchy (a.k.a. are generally pjs), and I’ve walked all day in these über comfy red block heel pumps.
#4 // Scalloped V-Neck One Piece + striped Midi Skirt
Look For Less:
< >
There’s something incredibly exhilarating (and kinda sneaky) about knowing you can go from dressed to perfection to nose-deep in the ocean in about t-3 seconds. This similar scalloped navy suit is one of my all-time favorites (it literally comes in seven colors), and I’m also obsessing over this tiered ruffle midi. Double-agent swoon.
#5 // White dress With Black Piping
Look For Less:
< >
The original dress visualized above was $700, so I was doing cartwheels when I found this incredibly similar appeal last week and had to share a sneak peek on instagram. This perfectly tailored dress is basic but stunning, fitted but flowing in just the ideal places.
#6 // Redefined Blouse + asymmetric Midi Skirt
Look For Less:
< >
This look was one of my particular favorites from the spring trend Memo Series, so it was really fun to re-create with a lot more economical pieces. Redefined shirting is not only trending (big time), but it’s also a stunning ode to garment construction and elements of raw design. I’m currently crushing on this effortless sweetheart off-the-shoulder top and this striped button-down with slightly a lot more structure. I also found this classic asymmetric midi skirt that’s nearly identical to the original and is $90. Pinky swear!
#7 // Bow Sleeve blouse + Red Trousers
Look For Less:
<>
Nothing updates a low-key look like a statement sleeve, and I can’t get enough. I’m currently obsessed with bow sleeves (in case you can’t tell), and I’m having trouble choosing between this beauty with gigantic bows and this one with smaller, a lot more modestly-sized bows… somebody help me out here. Both would look best with these high-waisted trousers, so I’m halfway there.
#8 // classic Yellow Dress
Look For Less:
< >
PSA: Yellow has officially locked in it’s status as color of the season, and has (against all odds) proven to us all that it’s here to STAY. At first I was unsure, but with options that spanned the spectrum of butter to lemon to sunburst to mustard, it really started to grow on me. If you’re trying to find a dress that generally embodies happiness on earth, check out this sensational strapless ruffle dress which comes in THE. MOST. PERFECT. buttercup shade. It’s also worth noting that this charming Alice + Olivia ruffle slip dress is under $150 and this lace appeal from Nanette Lepore is $170. build me up, buttercup, don’t let me down. (Sorry, had to.)
