Recreate An Outfit

[#umero]

I thought this would be a cute idea, since not everyone can get their hands on 100% Prada (or Gucci, Dior, you fill in the blank) all the time. Basically the idea is, you find a runway look/outfit you like (or an editorial outfit/look), and you recreate it with more feasible and attainable options. I'll start this off...



Original Look:
Celine FW04

Recreated:
Grey wool crepe shift dress (J.Crew), $148 at jcrew.com

Light brown leather belt (Claudio Orciani), $98 at yoox.com

Beige wool and cashmere blend coat (Albert Nippon), $299 at bluefly.com

Light brown Carrie slingbacks (J.Crew), $148 at jcrew.com

Tab:
$693

Bravo, breathe0xygen! The two outfits could pass for almost identical; doing this is no easy feat!

Also, if anyone is looking to recreate an outfit, you can post requests. Some are much harder than others. This one, par example, was a fairly easy one (although I couldn't quite find a close enough cardigan.)
