For the next couple weeks I will be doing a segment called Catwalk Couture. Each day I will feature a collection of Spring 2012 Ready to Wear Items from high end designers, as well as alternatives at much more affordable prices. Today, we start with one of my personal favorite houses of couture, Fendi.
Look 1: Puff Sleeve Sweater ($595) and Squiggle-Stitched-A-Line Skirt ($1260)
Blissful Couture Alternative: Classic Knit Sweater Forever 21 ($13) and Zip Detail Dip Back Skirt by Yesstyle ($25)
Look 2: Long Jacket ($2610), Fendi Slim Cropped Pants ($890), and Contrast Piped Blog ($790)
Blissful Couture Alternative: Asos Curve Exclusive Blouse with Contrast Tabs ($32), Calvin Klein Straight Leg Ankle Trouser ($48), and Black Blazer from ASDA ($15)
Look 3: Cold Shoulder Blouse ($1480) and Slim Wool Pant ($990)
Blissful Couture Alternative: Mika Blouse ($46) and H&M Trousers ($48)
What is important to remember is that you can take classic looks, styled by couture houses and make them your own by finding similar pieces that match your budget!
