Three Looks for Less

Who doesn’t love to find a copycat style that costs less than its designer cousin?  Finding the must have look for less is a fashion thrill.

Asymmetric Skirt.  Bold red pieces are going to be huge this fall season.  These asymmetric skirts bring a modern vibe to an otherwise basic midi-skirt.  The J.W. Anderson Skirt ($405) with its sleek lines and Katherine Hepburn appeal is what dreams are made of.  However, this Topshop Asymmetric Skirt ($55) is a serviceable alternative.

I would wear such a statement-making skirt with a Victorian collar blouse (also the rage this fall).  I love this See by Chloe lace blouse.  Another option would be a simple tie-neck like this Banana Republic top.

Bow-Shoulder Sweater.  I adore this bow-shoulder Ermanno Scervino sweater ($880), but the price, whoa.  When I spotted it, I knew I needed to add a bow-shoulder sweater to my fall looks.  I saw this Banana Republic sweater ($88) with its relaxed fit and feminine style and knew it was the one.

Love bow sweaters?  This Ted Baker is also worth a look if you’re into prim and proper.

Top Handle Satchel. The Cuyana brand’s motto is “fewer, better.”  In other words, buy fewer things of better quality.  And this Top Handle Bag ($375) certainly makes that ethos look good.  On the more affordable side of the coin, this Mango Pocket Crossbody ($59) is a chic alternative.  The details on the hardware are really a nice addition.
