Fashion for Less |

Welcome to another addition of “create your own stitch fix!” In case you missed my July edition, you can check it out here. As you may or may not know, I am in love with Stitch Fix but feel sometimes their pricing could be better. If you’re unsure what Stitch Fix is, check out my last review here. Every month, I like to challenge myself to create outfits using all Stitch Fix pieces at a fraction of the cost. I always feel that August is an awkward time of year because I never know if I should keep buying summer clothes or start transitioning to fall. Since I couldn’t decide, I created a “summer fix” and a “fall fix.” Now, let’s get to it!

For this summer fix, I wanted to focus on brigh colors. Pair the Everly fuschia dress with the Nine West gladiator sandals and Gorjana teal bracelet for an extra dose of color. The Kensie yellow top would also pair well with the Kensie pom pom shorts, Nine West gladiator sandals and Gorgjana bracelet.

Everly Fuschia Dress – $44.00
Kensie Yellow Top – $22.93
Nine West Gladiators – $29.99
Kensie Pom Pom Shorts – $19.93
Gorjana Bracelet – $11.00
TOTAL: $127.85

For this Fall fix, pair the Kensie tank with the Bobeau plaid top. Wear the plaid top either open or buttoned up. Add the STS Blue distressed jeans with the Nine West Booties and Urban Expressions bag and you’re ready for a day at the pumpkin patch!

STS Blue Distressed Denim – $29.97
Nine West Booties – $54.45
Kensie Tank – $9.96
Bobeau Tie Front Top – $39.90
Urban Expressions Bag – $34.99
TOTAL: $169.27

If you’re anything like me, I tend to have caviar taste on a ramen noodle budget. So, I decided to put together this spend v. save post showing cheaper alternatives to some high end clothing.

This blog post contains affiliate links. For more information, please see my disclosure.

These Marc Fishers are all the rage in the blogosphere these days and they clock in at a whopping $169.95. But, if you’re interested in a cheaper alternative and not spending half your paycheck on a pair of shoes, these Steve Maddens look almost identical and are less than $60!

Cross front tees have been very popular this season. You could opt for this $72 version made by LNA or save yourself some simoleans and go for this PST top for less than $10!

You could spend your food allowance on this BB Dakota Dress that’ll set you back $185 or you can save yourself at pretty “penney” with the JcPenney version that’s priced at $34.99 or 50% off if you spend over $40!

This pair of Steve Madden Slip Ons retail for $59.95 but, the cheaper alternative from Target cashes out at just $24.99! Can you even tell a difference?

I’ve been lusting over this Kate Spade Bathing Suit but once the reality of the $106.50 price tag set in, I knew I had to find a cheaper alternative. This almost identical version is only $23.99 from Cupshe!

Gingham and off-the-shoulder tops have been all the rage recently. You could opt for this one from Nordstrom that goes for $59.00, or you could choose the less expensive alternative from Loft at a great price of just $20.99 (at checkout!)

Well, there you have it! Now the only thing left to do is decide how to spend the money I saved. Maybe, I’ll go do something crazy and pay the electric bill.
