Looks for Less

~ sanfordstandard ~ Leave a comment

Today’s post is about getting looks for less. Most of us can’t afford outfits with these kinds of price tags, so I’ve done a little work for you. I’ve taken outfits from Farfetch and transferred them into everyday affordable looks. Enjoy!

Needless to say, most people can’t afford this look. The blouse is well over $600, not to mention the jeans, leather bag and shoes. I’ve curated a few pieces so that you can recreate this trendy yet classic outfit on your own. You can get this look for around $315 with the pieces I selected.

I love the color combo Farfetch has created. The bag alone is $1000, but I’ve created this look for under $400. These pieces  are very versatile and can be worn through fall/winter into spring.

I can’t say no to a pop of red. This past weekend I wore a bright red dress to a wedding, and I loved it. This look can be transitioned from work to casual. The Givenchy trousers will set you back $1200.

I thoroughly enjoy getting dressed every morning before work. I suppose this means a couple of things: I like what I do, and well, I like what I do. To be honest, I’ve always enjoyed getting dressed each morning. Maybe not the mornings my mom made me wear tights to church, but every other. And, I like my new job. Working for Front Door Fashion has been a great transition into the real world, and I’ve loved styling each woman no matter her needs. Styling is my passion.

PS this top is old so I found a few great alternatives.

Friday Finds: Denim Edition

This Friday I’m talking about my favorite jeans and why!

Screen Shot 2017-06-29 at 10.03.08 PM

First, is the J Brand Maria. This jean has been a favorite of mine for years. I love it because it is a high rise and a true skinny. The jean comes down a little past the ankle, so it is the perfect length for a cuff.

Next, I love the Citizens of Humanity Rocket skinny. They suck you in in all the right places! I have a distressed gray pair, and they are perfect for all seasons!

Zara is a great place to get trendy denim. I have the best distressed boy friend jeans that I got last spring. I’ve dressed them up with strappy heels and worn them casually with Adidas tennies.

The Stella McCartney Flare jean is the ultimate flare! I love this color for spring and summer, but it also pairs nicely with a black chunky sweater in the winter.

OMG. Let me tell you about the Citizens of Humanity Wide Leg Crop… They feel like pajamas. They are the comfiest pair of jeans I own and go with everything!

I go for the high rise every time because they not only fit my waist but my booty too. I hope I inspired your next denim purchase!

Screen Protector

I know this is nothing new, but I highly encourage you to invest in a screen protector for your iPhone. I have dropped mine one too many times and finally repaired the screen and added a screen protector to avoid anymore cracks.

Food Containers

After the first week of work, I’m realizing it is very important to bring food for lunch rather than eating. Not only is it more economical, it is also most likely better for you. I have a few containers that I will bring my lunch in everyday.

Rosebud Salve

A friend gave me this lip balm, and I’m obsessed. It doesn’t go on sticky and adds a nice shine to your lips. Click the link to buy!
