Fact: If you're a young, budding ingenue in Hollywood, you own a Chloe mini-dress.
Fact: You have probably been photographed in it flouncing down Robertson Boulevard with man-candy in tow.
Fact: Poor fashionistas would give their left pinky for an original Chloe mini-dress without having to take out a loan.
Well, LBD readers, I'm here to save your left pinkies. Sure, Chloe mini-dresses look fabulous in the summertime paired with flat sandals, but how can we translate bright prints and patterns into the fall/winter seasons without looking like we're headed to Miami Beach?
Accessories, accessories, and then some more accessories. Scarves, deep-hued tights, and prim blazers.
We took a fabulous, put-together look from Chloe's Pre-Fall 2008 collection that cost more than all of our left pinkies combined, and hit up some near-by Boston shopping locales to find this look for less.
The grand total for five different pieces was: $149.99 Which is amazing for a complete outfit! A huge plus side is that your can save the flowery frock for Spring Break, and all of the other pieces are so neutral and simple that they can be easily worked into your wardrobe and lifestyle.
Urban Outfitters:
Charcoal Wool Pleated Mid-Calf Boots ($68)
Plum Footless Tights ($12)
H&M:
Cream Knit Scarf ($9.90)
Filene's Basement:
French Connection Floral Mini-Dress ($39.99)
Black Nick And Mo Shrunken Blazer ($19.99)
That's a steal, if I've ever heard one. Happy shopping my fellow fashionistas!
