A Chanel Look on a Jessica Simpson Clothing Line Budget

There are many hot fash­ion trends suit­able for all women sizes, shapes and ages avail­able in the stores now.  But how in the world is the aver­age per­son suf­fer­ing from the reces­sion going to afford these styles?  It is an ongo­ing strug­gle for a fash­ion diva to keep up with these fab­u­lous trends while liv­ing on a shoe­string bud­get.  After some seri­ous dig­ging, I found two of the must-have trends of the sea­son at afford­able prices and I’m going to share it with you.

Clogs are Back!

Once Chanel came down the run­way with the mod­els wear­ing five-inch clog mules, then every designer went to pro­duce their own ver­sion of the same shoe.  The Chanel clogs are fab­u­lous but the price tag breaks the bank.  So how can you achieve the same $1,795 price tag for $79?  Try Jes­sica Simpson’s stud­ded clogs.  These are a great sub­sti­tu­tion!  We have some glam­our pho­tog­ra­phy photo shoots com­ing up where we will be using sexy, plat­form clogs.

Mini Flo­rals are In!

You can’t go into a store this sea­son with­out being bom­barded by flo­ral prints.  Chris­t­ian Dior has a beau­ti­ful flo­ral mini print dress, but it costs approx­i­mately $3,000.  Don’t worry.  You may get the same look with the Alice in Won­der­land inspired look from Forever21.  It is a flo­ral romper cost­ing only $27.80.  Remove the hair band and high stock­ings and you have a styl­ish, sophis­ti­cated, fresh look for spring.
