Look for Less: J. Crew

Fashion is something that I enjoy. However, I don't think that in order to be fashionable one must spend loads of money. In fact, many of the most fashionable women I have ever met have been thrifty shoppers. Here I will take a rather expensive outfit and recreate it using more affordable pieces. This week: J. Crew.

I am always impressed with J. Crew's designs. I love that their pieces are both timeless and classic, but still colorful and youthful. It is that balance between timelessness and trendiness that sets it apart. But since I am quite the bargain shopper, there is no way I would ever spend $600 on a single outfit. So, Let's see if I can recreate this beautiful outfit for much much less.
