I thought it would be fun to put together a few designer looks and then see if I could re-create them with less expensive items… and I’m amazed at some of the deals that are out there! For instance, I’ve been crushing on these Karen Walker sunglasses for forever – who knew there were look-alikes out there for only $11!!! I’m also seriously considering ordering this palm print dress and the Rebecca Minkoff look-alike bag. Obsessed!
Also, don’t forget about the Nordstrom Early Access Anniversary Sale going on – you can shop my favorites here! Hope everyone has a great Wednesday 🙂

Such a perfect post. Such a difference in price.
LOVE that ASOS clutch! I've been dying for a leopard clutch but didn't want to spend a fortune on such an impractical, can't use it everyday, bag

I love this post! I am a new mom to a 5 month old and my hubby is still in school so I don't have huge amounts to spend on clothes right now. I find this so helpful. I have my own fashion blog, and most of my pieces are affordable as well 🙂

in that first look, I actually prefer the look alike to the actual designer outfit. that never happens! great job, btw. I feel like this wouldn't be an all that easy task.

Love the palm print dress! This is such a great post – I feel like most magazines skim on the details on the "for less" looks but yours really are right on the mark!
