Twofer Tuesday - Alice & Olivia


This beautiful outfit is from Alice & Olivia's Resort 2012 collection. The sheer, neutral color-blocked top provides the perfect foundation for building the outfit. The magenta shorts give the look a pop of color and the big floppy hat reminds us of a relaxed vacation in the sun. But the ensemble isn't so relaxed and casual that it looks messy- the heels and accessories give it some edge.

Fabulous as this is, who among us can afford a designer outfit straight off the runway? Certainly not me (although I wish I could)! So take a look at these much cheaper, but still adorable alternatives that add up to a similar look:

For the top, try this:
Forever 21-Colorblocked tulip-back top
$15.80

Or this:
Urban Outfitters- Plastic Island Crepe Contrast Sleeveless Top
$59.00

For the shorts, try these:
GoJane.com- Flare shorts in purple
$24.80


Get your hands on these heels:
Urbanog.com- "Delicious Boatie" Patent Open Toe Sandal
$29.00

And this hat:
Nine West at Macy's- Packable Straw Super-Floppy Hat in Black
$40.00


And these accessories from Forever 21:
Geo cutout necklace in silver
$9.80
Shimmering Bracelet set
$7.80
Square Sunglasses
$5.80


See girls-even if we can't afford a designer outfit, we can certainly make it look like we can!
