Inspired by...Shopbop

This is the second installment inspired by the Shopbop work outfit lookbook they recently posted on their site (click here to view the first posting). They paired this graphic print Diane von Furstenberg Justin dress ($325) with the KORS Michael Kors Royal Two Band Sandal ($250), and M Missoni's slouchy hobo ($695). They also suggested pairing this outfit with Theory's Aislinn K Blazer ($375) and Gorjana's Astrology Charm Necklace ($45). Total cost of this outfit: $1690.


If you're like me and love how Shopbop's stylists put together outfits but might not have the budget for their entire version, here's an inspired by outfit that will give you a similar style for less. The main element that stands out in the Shopbop version is the bold graphic print dress, so keeping that in mind, this is what I came up with (click on any photo to purchase):

White House Black Market Scroll Print Sheath Dress - $128

Nine West Punch Sandal - $78.95

Aldo Alberico handbag - $24.98 (on sale)

Express Cotton Sateen Strong Shoulder Jacket - $98

ChristinaPDesigns Zodiac Necklaces - $30 (click HERE to purchase)
This necklace is only $15 less than the Gorjana version but I like the idea of supporting a small business like those featured on Etsy.
Total cost of the inspired by version: $359.93 (several of the items shown could be used again to make a different outfit, making them even more budget friendly!)
