Wednesday's Look For Less: Bronzed Cable Knit

I fell in love with a sweater last week. And then another blog blew up like a Macy's parade balloon, creating an all-out craze for the thing and causing massive sellouts all across the Internet. Who can blame the masses? Blair styled that top beautifully, although I was just thinking of wearing it with black skinny jeans...tomAYto, tomAHto. Good thing there's a worthy alternative and it happens to be cheaper! 

The sweater on the left comes to us courtesy of Michael Kors' economy line, MICHAEL Michael Kors, but it still rings up at $150. It is one good looking top though, a classic, preppy knit interpreted in a modern metallic. But ASOS offers us a great looking, strikingly similar alternative for only $63! I think I might be able to settle in this case...

Chic sweaters just in time for the holidays! But don't dilly-dally. These tops have obviously created a craze so if you are lucky enough to find one, I suggest you snatch it up!

***BONUS ALERT***

If you're interested in a similar style by Michael Kors, he offers a short sleeve version that is equally as chic as its long-sleeved relative for about $140. You'll still be saving a little while also getting a nice piece. 

One Skirt Three Ways

My Pinterest feed seems to be blowing up with fall florals lately. From the runway to reality, the most stylish gals have found clever ways to work a typically springy print into their fall wardrobe with the ease of a full skirt.

Then, this morning, imagine my delight when a Net-A-Porter email popped up in my inbox and this J. Crew skirt presented itself...ahhhhhh. Can you hear the angels singing? Is the universe trying to tell me something? 

There are so many ways to wear a floral skirt this fall so with the help of the three inspirational photos above, I present you one skirt worn three ways...

First, we have the fearless tomboy. She's casual in chambray and a man's style watch but nonchalant when it comes to the "rules," as made evident by her mix of leopard print and pony hair.

Then you have the glamour girl. She can't say no to sparkle or shine but does her best to stay down to earth with a wedge bootie and boho-inspired bag.

Finally, it's easy to be footloose and fancy free when you wear your favorite Breton-striped tee and go hands-free with a crossbody messenger bag. Your trademark monogram necklace reminds people you know who you are and where you came from even if you did add a few extra inches to your frame with no-nonsense suede wedges.

So which girl are you?
