Anthropologie in Autumn

I love Anthropologie. They're clothes are so adorable and vintage, I just want to squeal. What I don't love, however, are the prices. So, I'm remaking one of the looks from the August 2010 catalog. I couldn't get the picture to work, so here is the link: Anthropologie-Blue Dress

First, you need a blue patterned dress. This one is from Forever 21 and costs $24.90.

Next is the cardigan. It's from Arden B and costs $24.50. It also comes in pink, if you prefer that.

You need a brown belt for the dress. This one is from Charlotte Russe and costs $9.50.

Finally, the shoes. These are from Zappos and cost $45.00.

In the catalog, the entire look costs $542.
My look only costs $103.90. A little over, but not by much.

Fall Outing

This next look is perfect for a fall hike or picnic in the woods. It's from shopbop.com, the designer Rag and Bone lookbook.

The jeans are white skinny jeans. These are from JCPenny and only cost $11.40.

The shirt is grey. This one is a men's shirt also from JCPenny. It cost $22.99.

Finally, the boots. They are also from JCPenny and cost $59.99.

Altogether, the look costs $94.35.

Romantic Morning

This next look is a very soft, feminine look. It's from Shopbop.com, part of the Trend Report: Spring 2010.

First is the shirt. There are a few differences to this one from Forever 21, but it works well for the look. It costs $17.80.

Next is the skirt, also from Forever 21. It costs $19.80.

Finally is the shoes. They are from Asos.com and also come in black. They cost $50.54.

Altogether, the look costs $88.14.

Macy's Look 2

Here's is the second Macy's look I'm going to recreate. Most of the pieces will be more "inspired by" then actual replicas of the pieces used in the look. The picture comes from thegloss.com.

First is the cardigan. This one comes from JCPenny and costs $29.99.

Next is the shirt. This one also comes from JCPenny and costs $6.99.

Now, the skirt. The one I found isn't flower print, but it has color on a white background. that white background is important for breaking up the bright color of the purple. The skirt is from Sears and costs $17.99.

Next is the necklace. This one is from Overstock.com and costs $19.99.

Altogether, the look costs $74.96.

Macy's Look 1

There's a Macy's at my mall, but I hardly shop there. I just find the prices a little outrageous. So, I found a couple of lookbook styles from Macy's that I'm going to recreate. This is the first one, from thegloss.com.

First is the dress. I really concentrated on getting a dress with beading at the top, although the dress I found has yellow beading at the top which makes it a little hard to see. However, it works for the look. Cost: $49.17  BHFO.com

Next is the shoes. They look silver in the picture, so that's what I found. Cost: $35.50 Charlotte Russe

Finally, the bangles. Cost: $5.80 Forever 21

Altogether, the look costs $90.47.

School is In

This next style is great for summer and fall. When the weather starts to get chilly, just throw on the cardigan and head off to class.

The first piece of the outfit is the red plaid shirt. This one is from Target and costs $17.99. To buy: Mossimo Supply Co. Juniors Western Shirt

The next part is the navy cardigan. This one is from Sears and retails at $9.99. SML Layered Cardigan

Next comes the shorts. These are from Forever 21. They cost $16.90 and come in olive green and khaki. Canvas Belted Short

Next comes the shoes. I concentrated more on finding boots with buttons down the side then I did finding boots with a folded down tongue. These cost $32.49 and are from Sears. Restricted Footwear Cozy-Brown

Finally, the bag. This one is from Target and costs $16.99. Hollywood Intuition Clutch

All together, this look costs $94. 36.
