Last week, I did a post on an Anthropologie outfit. You all seemed to really like the post and Rachel asked me to take a stab at this outfit:
I love the look of this! I did have a hard time finding another striped cardigan, so I substituted a solid white one. Here is what I came up with:
Ruffle Front Cardigan - Macy's - $29.99
Python Blouse - Charlotte Russe - $39.99
Stretch Double-Buckle Belt - Old Navy - $10 (Orig. $16.50)
Intricate Tassel Earrings - Forever 21 - $5.80
TOTAL: $85.78
What do you think of the inspiration look? How about the pieces I found? Leave a comment!
Thanks for reading,
Happy Shopping!
Love the inspiration look! The stripes make it but I can understand how that would be hard to find. Great work on the new look. :)
ReplyDeletelove it! you got the point, which was a monochrome kinda feel. LOVE the prices ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, you did a really good job at that one...I looked forever for a similar sweater, too, and yours is spot on! Nice work. :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Good finds! If only I weren't pregnant so i could where that cute belt around my waist:)
ReplyDeleteI love it!!! Thank you so much for doing this for me.
ReplyDeletethats not even close- nice try- but NO cigar

Madeline -- I think you did a great job. As you've mentioned before, sometimes there just aren't spot-on less expensive versions; the details are what make certain pieces expensive. But I think the cardigan definitely captures the same feel, even without the stripes. And I love the blouse! :)

I think you did a great job imitating the Anthropologie outfit (I have no idea what the anonymous commenter is talking about- very rude indeed). I love that belt..does Old Navy still have it? I want it!
ReplyDelete@Mary - exactly!
ReplyDelete@Amy - Thanks! that belt is still in stock online. I haven't noticed it in store so I am not sure if you could find it there.
Hi Madeline- This is anonymous Curto. I like clothes in general. I also like Mountain Dew, grapes, hanging with the wifee, an herbal tea called Mate, and...umm...good food. Well...have a good day and it looks like you have a lot of fun on this blog-thingy-ma-jigg. I have a goal to never have one. Anyhoo...stalling doing homework so have a good one.
ReplyDeleteI think these are great, and I'm another one who wants the belt!
ReplyDeleteI tried to find a striped cardigan, too, but I didn't have much luck either. Urban Outfitters has one but it's not drapey:

(sorry I have no idea how to shorten that! so embarrassing!)
I found a drapey striped one here, but the stripes aren't thin and it's more of a gray color:

Anyway, I really enjoy your blog, especially these 'inspired' posts!! Keep up the good work!

I found this striped drapey cardigan at Heavenly Couture for just $15. It doesn't have any of the ruffle, but if the subtl stripe is more important to you, check here.
ReplyDeleteThanks for you picks and comments Megan!
I think it's a great translation- nice work!

Madeline- thanks for the link to the Heavenly Couture one, I love it! Now I just need to justify spending that much... sad when $15 is still kind of a lot. lol. =)
