COPYCAT

So I just love fashion, but I am horrible at pulling outfits together.  That's probably the reason I follow so many fashion blogs and spend so many hours looking at different styles on Pinterest.  They make it look so easy!  So I've started to save photos of my favorites, then go on copycat hunts for the closest pieces I can find at the cheapest prices.  So I figured, why not share my look-a-like finds?  I'm going to start today with one of my newest faves - and one that I just ordered myself!

I saw this look on Pinterest recently and fell in love!  I would've never, ever paired gray skinnies with a yellow blazer.  My mind just doesn't think outside the box like that.

And so my search for a mustard colored blazer began.  Easy, right?  Of course not.  My shopping options are limited in this area, so I usually do most of my buying online.  I checked all my usual favorites - Alloy, Forever 21, Delia's, Gap, Urban OG, Go Jane, and Make Me Chic.  No sign of a mustard blazer.

I finally found one at Charlotte Russe, but it was priced at $39.99 and I really didn't want to pay that much.  (I can be a total cheapskate when it comes to clothes!)

And so my search continued.  I stumbled across a website I had never heard of - www.loveculture.com - and lo and behold they had a couple different mustard blazers!  The one I decided on isn't available anymore, but they still have a few others that are super cute!  And best of all - they range from around $20 - $30!  AND free shipping when you spend $50!  Needless to say, I may have a new favorite online store :)

If you love the actual style of the original blazer, they also have one that's very similar, but it only comes in blue or black.  I really love it in blue!

So to complete the top half of the outfit, you would just have to pair the blazer with a simple ivory tee or blouse.  I ended up finding one at TJ Maxx for $15.

And my not-so-favorite subject....jeans.  I'm tall, so I usually can't buy jeans just anywhere.  But last week I was walking through JC Penney and spotted some super pretty shades of skinnies in the juniors section.  I picked up the gray ones, and to my surprise, they fit!  They were on sale for only $17 - can't beat that!

And finally, the shoes!  Nude pumps.  I am actually embarrassed to say that I don't yet own a pair in this color.  You can find them just about anywhere... I found these at www.alloy.com, for $29.90.

Voila!  Hopefully this helps anyone else who may be fashionably challenged like myself!
