The Look for Less: Betsey Johnson

Well, I am absolutley bored. I have to help out my parents with the kitchen, but they refuse to let me do anything. So I have a nice day watching E! and browsing Style.com for fashion tips. So for my fashion tips of the day, I decided to do a look for less!
I absolutley love Betsey Johnson's fall line. It has a bohemian, beatnik vibe that I love. I am going to try to take the look for less of the bellow item. I have no idea how the full outfit costs(because style.com doesn't say) so here I go! (the links below are to the websites)




The Dress above from Forever 21(One of my favorite stores) Is a strapless dress like original with that slight rocker edge, shown in the belt. I am choosing not to use a cami or bra that is underneath the dress, because I think the look can be pulled off without it(plus I didn't find anything like it) Dress= $24.80

This wool blend cabbie cap(forever21) totally fits the rocker/poet part. Cap= $10.80This wristlet(forever21) is similar to the one above. I could not find a plain one like the one in the original picture, but this has a smooth texture and has a cute snap, making it perfect for this outfit.
This clutch(from forever 21) gives the plain look the clutch in the original gives, but with a small flair. clutch = $10.80TOTAL=$81.19
This watch(from forever 21) is a great addition to the rocker outfit. The original watch is gold, but I went with a silver watch, to prevent from a clash of silver and gold(the belt on the dress has silver) watch= $14.80
These 2 heels(both from Famous Footwear) are totally different in style and price. Above, this pair is like the pair in the original, but with a sale price of $36.99. At the bottom, this pair is totally different but with a more rocker vibe have a sale price of $19.99. For the sake of getting the smallest price, I will choose the ones to the bottom.
TOTAL=$81.19

The greatest part of this outfit is that all of these items are wardrobe staples, so your money will be put to good use in other outfits! I really hope you enjoyed my own version of "The look for less" It took FOREVER but it was so worth it. :D
Given some love back,
Alyssa

Thanks for commenting on my blog! ^^ And I love Betsy Johnson's line as well. Her designs are a release of fresh air, if you know what I mean. I love the cap for a winter style and the strapless dress is absolutley breath taking. ^^ I love Forever 21! Hit back! :D
