CARBON COPY LOOKS FROM THE RUNWAY: SAY YES FOR LESS!







High fashion may be priced for lottery winners, socialites, or the super wealthy, but the big secret I learned over the years is that you can carbon copy the same runway looks for an hundredth of the cost.  Not only can you dress sharp, but you can have fun doing it. Follow one of my weekly blogs SAY YES FOR LESS where I recreate runway looks at an unbelievable price points. Yes Ladies, you heard me "Unbelievable price points".  From head to toe I will share my complete look that I wore to the Silver and Gold Benefit yesterday which cost me under $40.00: Here is how I put this Fabulous look together and you can do it too!

  1. DRESS- PICK A SOLID COLOR MAXI DRESS(CUTOUT):  It’s important to choose colors that flatter your figure, complexion and hair color. This will create an overall glow for your look.  For my complexion and overall look, I went with the shade of red. I found this dress on Clearance at Charlotte Russe for $6.25www.charlotterusse.com
  2. JEWLERY-STICK TO ONE ARTICLE OF JEWLERY.  To play it safe I stuck with only wearing earrings. I chose gold metallic dangle earrings to complement the structure of the red dress.  Tribal Gold Earrings from Charlotte Russe for $5.00www.charlotterusse.com
  3. SHOES: CHOOSE A BASIC COLOR PUMP- I wore a nude pump that I bought from Payless Shoes and the brand is Brash.  The nude shoe makes the dress appear less fancy and lengthens my frame. It was on sale for $19.99. www.payless.com
  4. HANDBAG: PICK A CLUTCH: I wore a nude clutch that matched the shoes to create balance.  I found this clutch at H&M on clearance for $5.00.  http://www.hm.com

Now, if you have read to this point your probably thinking how can I do this too?  It’s quite simple all you need is creativity, patience, and an open mind to breaking free from brands and price points.  Follow my weekly blog Say Yes to Less, where you can learn to save money and look just as great as the looks off the runway.
