I was perusing the J.Crew website (again) and fell in love with this outfit. I think it's the perfect mix of casual and dressy (with a bit of geek chic thrown in for good measure).
Here is how I would do it for less:
FULL TILT Womens Knit Blazer - Tilly's - $29.99 {also available in black}
Contrast Sequin Tunic - Forever 21 - $22.80
Five Pocket Jegging, Ormondo Wash - New York & Co - $24.95 {Orig. $39.95}
F8094 Readers - Forever 21 - $5.80
Joe Boxer Saffira - White - Kmart - $9.99 {I also like this slip on version}
total: $83.08
What do you think? Is this something you would wear? Leave your thoughts below.
Happy Shopping.
PS - Did you catch my guest post at ISLY? And if you aren't reading ISLY, you should be.
I was admiring this look earlier this week. Great picks on recreating it!
ReplyDeletei love the look but doubt I could get a way with it. it'd look more geek on me than chic. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that you picked this because I've been drooling over it this week! Thanks for the post!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you did a look for less on that outift! I was eyeing it up before.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
I just found your blog and I love it! I, too, live in SLC. It's so fun to find other local bloggers. I am bookmarking your site now!
ReplyDeletePopped over from Is-Ly, and I love your blog! Your about me cracked me up -- I, too, laugh at myself when I say words I think I totally get away with... but only in my head :D Can't wait to scope out your blog!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is so adorable! I totally a frugal fashionista as well and it is so refreshing to come across blogs like yours! I am following :) xoxo!
ReplyDeletei am now convinced I need that knit blazer...and what a good price. I love the whole look. I'm totally inspired.
ReplyDeleteThat outfit is one that I wouldn't normally go for, but for some reason, it totally stuck a chord with me. I love it! And your look for less is pretty much amazing. I MIGHT just need to get everything on there. Minus the glasses, 'cause I'd just look silly in glasses. :)
ReplyDeletewoops, I meant STRUCK, not STUCK. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit, Madeline! I would totally rock that look. I bet even a pregnant lady could get away wearing that top.
ReplyDeleteLove this outfit! And the way you did it is MUCH more affordable. I am just in love with all these jumping pictures I have been seeing everywhere too.

I just stumbled upon your blog a few days ago. I absolutely love it! I have a question and I need some help. I'm completely into fashion (but not much of a fashion guru as yourself) and love love love finding my clothes at the expensive places. Nordstrom is home. However, I'm also a college student!! Not a good mix. I am in desperate need of some knee-high/mid-calf black riding style boots. Look at these beauties:

I would be forever in your debt, if you could post boots just like these black ones (pewter hardware would be just fine!) for cheap! *Another picky requirement: the boots aren't slouchy. They stay standing on their own and don't sag.
Please, please, please, help!
