Look for Less: Sweater in Horse Print

When this Asos sweater started floating around pinterest this week, I realized I had seen a comparable version at F21.

ASOS Sweater in Horse Print - Asos - $51.23 (Orig. $64.03) {also available in petite}
Equine Knit Top - Forever 21 - $19.80

The sleeves are clearly shorter on the budget version, but the rest of it is spot on.

What do you think? Is this something you would wear?

Do you guys know Melissa Esplin? She wore this fantastic look and it has been hovering in the back of my mind for months. This is my take.

Stretch Skinnies - Forever 21 - $10.50
Floral Print Top - Forever 21 - $14.80
Lace & Ribbon Cardigan - Forever 21 - $24.80
Elaine Twin Gore Flat Canvas - White - Kmart - $3.99 (Orig. $9.99)
total: $65.03

I love the mix of pattern + texture as well as the mix of dressy + casual. What do you think? Is this something you would wear? Leave your thoughts below.

Spied: Rio Blue High Waist Kickflare

This fall, I am really hoping to score an awesome pair of high waisted jeans. Not huge butt, mom jeans, but retro inspired awesome jeans. Like these:

Rio Blue High Waist Kickflare  - Asos - $26.51 (Orig. $64.03)

I think they are the picture of perfection. And they are by far the best looking option I have found under $50 (in this case way under $50).

And, Asos offers free standard shipping and returns. No minimum or code required. Pretty awesome huh?

What do you think? I would love to wear them with this outfit.

Friday Wishlist: Rust-Colored Full Skirt

 

Dear Forever 21,

It would be awesome if you carried all the items you use in your promos. I am completely in love with this  skirt and my heart broke a little bit when I realized that it isn't for sale. 

You should work on that,

Madeline

Reader Request: Frye Paige Tall Riding Boot

Wide Calf Knee-High Leather Boots with Classic Buckle Strap - Roaman's - $79.99
MIA Pali - Tilly's - $49.99

Spied: UO Ecote Hamptoms Skimmer

Ecote Hamptons Skimmer - Urban Outfitters - $19.99 (Orig. $29.99)

Inspired: Emersonmade {blouse + high waist}

Do you guys know Emersonmade? They are a fantastic (if out of my budget) clothing company. Every time I see their outfits, I fall in love. Case in point:

{image}

Everything about this look makes me happy. The pattern, the proportion, and the accessories. And today I was able to seek out a great option for less:

Lee® Comfort Waist Straight-Leg Jeans - Kohls - $36.99
Mihalkovic Clutch - Aldo - $24.98 (Orig. $40.00)
Breezy Blouse - Old Navy - $29.94 {available in a whole host of colors}
total: $91.91

I would buy the blouse a size or two larger than your usual size, both because the reviews indicate that the bust is a bit tight, and also because I love the proportion of an over sized blouse.

Outfit Under $100 {mustard + coral}

Bright pants have invaded my thoughts. They are all I can think about (fashion-wise, that is). Also, I am mildly obsessed with short sleeve tops that aren't boring. Because, guess what you guys? I only have boring short sleeve shirts. When I lived in Utah I was all about cardigans, and whatever looked good under them. It is far too hot where I live now to be wearing cardigans for probably half of the year. I have to rethink my game plan. So, this is what I wish I were wearing. 

Animal Print Woven Tee - Forever 21 - $15.80
Coral Seed Bead Necklace - Charlotte Russe - $7.50
Kimchi Blue Linen Skimmer - Urban Outfitters - $19.99 (Orig. $29.00)
Vibrant Skinny Jean - Forever 21 - $19.90
total: $61.19

Look for Less: Belstaff Air Bomber Jacket

I saw this look for less at Cheap Thrill, and thought I would share.

Belstaff® Air Bomber Jacket - J.Crew - $1,1950.00
PU Bomber - Delia's - $49.50

Obviously, the J.Crew option is real leather and the Delia's version is faux, but I quite like the cheaper option.
