Look for Less: Dress (Also here) // Patent Booties // MAC Lipstick in ‘Hangup’ // BaubleBar earrings Do you ever see a look on the runway and wish you could snag it straight off the model? I do all the time. Take these four examples… I am drooling over the Erdem, McQueen, Balmain, and Dolce & Gabbana Collections for this season! They’re so incredibly expensive though, and can frequently be done for a fraction of the cost. Here I’ve pulled some of my favorite looks from each collection with a curated lookalike outfit using pieces all under $100 that will all look absolutely stunning for fall. I’m seeing the dreamy Erdem dress translated into a stunning dinner date getup with patent boots and a red lip. The all-pink Alexander McQueen outfit is the perfect feminine holiday party outfit using faux fur and metallic detail (note how the model’s smoky eye edges the look up!). The black Balmain mini screams ‘girl’s night out’ to me… the cold shoulder top shows just enough skin but the tights ensure there’s not so much that you’ll be freezing! Finally Dolce & Gabbana-inspired look brings a lovely work-appropriate print mixing look into the arsenal with a great bird-print dress and some embroidered heels. Hope you enjoy! Xx Kelly

Isn’t it great! Kelly found such incredible stuff for this post!
I’m absolutely crazy about those Desi embroidered heels in your D&G look alike! I’m always a little nervous about mixing patterns/prints, but maybe this is the season where I try to be braves!
I agree! They are fabulous!!! I feel the same with mixing patterns… it’s intimidating at first but so much fun!
That all black/leather look! I loveee!
I agree! This post is one of my faves of Kelly’s!
Can you link to the pink coat?
I am so sorry about that, Noemi! We updated the post. 🙂 xx
All of the pieces are so gorgeous!
I agree! Kelly really hit it out of the park with this one! xx
Love this post! I am always looking for less expensive versions of what is on the runway!

What a fun way to translate the runway looks for real life. LOVE that ruffle blouse, and that last dress is so pretty.
