Cute Fall Look for Less

Okay let's admit it...nobody really wants to spend a fortune on clothes. Yes there's certain items you should splurge on and others (such as a $50 layering tee...) that aren't necessary to spend all your money on. One of my favorite things to do is to look at all the latest lookbooks on my favorite clothing websites and try to recreate the outfits by putting together pieces that are significantly less money. In my opinion, it's not the cost of that makes the outfit but rather how you put it together. I found this outfit on a ShopBop.com lookbook and here are the pieces I thought would recreate it best. Oh and by the way this original outfit totals at $1,821...absolutely unnecessary if you ask me!

Outfit:



Black Ribbed Turtleneck from Macy's $21.98
(For some reason it wouldn't let me copy the picture url so you'll have to click the link to see it)






Brown Faux Leather Shorts from ASOS.COM $62.90

I love these shorts because they appear to fit a bit higher than most shorts. I like shorts that fit higher because then you can tuck your top into them which makes for a very cute look. I also love the detailing on these shorts which you can view better when you click the picture.






Black Tights from Forever 21 $6.80

I absolutely love the look of tights under shorts and I think they make it easy to incorporate shorts into your fall wardrobe. I definitely think the shorts should be a dressier type of short and preferably high-waisted because they make the look.

Jewelry:


American Eagle Gold Bangle $15.50







Elastic Infinity Bracelet $38.00




Gold Watch from Macy's $29.98







Zebra Stripe Ring from Forever 21 $4.80






Gold Interlinked Rings from Forever 21 $4.80

Shoes:


I couldn't initially think of what shoes to go with this outfit since they didn't pair any with the look on ShopBop but I think I prefer flats. You could go with open toed Mary Jane shoes or a style like that too. It's all about what you feel comfortable doing. These are the ones I decided to go with:





Really Cute Cap Toe Flats from Target $24.99


And the grand total for this complete outfit is.....$209.75. You saved more than $1600 and got some cute shoes too :)
