Shopping designer labels can be inspiring but likely to put stress on your budget. To keep your look fashionable and economical try mixing high fashion pieces with lower end items that complement each other and add a bit of individuality to your designer look. By mixing a range of designer pieces with less expensive items you won’t end up looking like a copycat off the runway. The trick is to find fashionable high-end pieces that are versatile and timeless.
Color blocking is a huge trend this season but keep your silhouette simple and don’t overdo it. A sheath dress in two shades paired with a teal necklace and neon clutch adds a bit of splash. Wear it with a pair of designer shoes and designer clutch that can be worn with many looks already in your closet and is well worth the investment.
