Former reality TV star, author and fashion designer, Whitney Port, is known for her eclectic sense of style. She is pictured above attending a fall/winter 2011 fashion show. I really like this look with the exception of the shoes. I think the silver sandals were an interesting choice but it's not exactly something I would pick out. Nevertheless, I think Whitney pulled off this look very nicely. She is wearing Muubaa leather pants, a 3.1 Phillip Lim gray t-shirt, Jimmy Choo sandals, Mawi London necklace and a blazer from her own line, Whitney Eve. I estimate the cost of these items to be around $3,000. Gasp- that's a fraction of what I make in a year! But have no fear, you can always be chic and thrifty!
Even though it's late Spring in my part of the world, I believe it's never too early to start thinking about what to wear for the upcoming fall/winter season. It's also a good time to get great deals from the "leftovers" from the previous one. Where I live, what was in style in 2010 will generally still be going strong the following year- just a bit more accessible. The thought of purchasing an entire new wardrobe each year is enough to make my skin crawl. Do people actually live like that?
I was able to find a fabulous blazer at 50% off on Sears.com (yes, Sears has some decent Sunday bests) as well as some nice alternatives to Whitney's look from places like Urban Outfitters, Target, Forever 21 and Aldo. With a bit of patience and some luck, you too can find similar pieces (probably for even less than $200). So let your hair flow loose, stick to neutral makeup and you could pass for Whitney Port's doppelganger! Your wallet will thank you!
