A style I'm totally into is the high-waisted jean. I think it's sweet and fashion-forward. So, with the denim as my jumping off point, I created a look that somewhat pays homage to the 70s/mod style, while still remaining current. To top the look off I went with a Christina Hendricks-inspired look, (specifically her character, Joan Harris, from Mad Men) that includes a rosy lip and cheek plus a winged eye and dramatically long, curled lashes.
The Breakdown:
Top: TopShop Button Pocket Tee in Green, $50
Jacket: Windsor Ivory/Black Stripe Sweater Blazer, $29.90
Belt: H&M Leather Belt in Black, $14.95
Pants: Zara Bell Bottom Jeans in Blue, $79.90
Shoes: Bakers Mona 2 in Black Suede, $59.99 (*Sale)
Total Cost of this Outfit: $273.74
Certainly there's a way to shave that number down some...
How to Save on this Look:
- Simple savings would include omitting the earrings and belt purchases, and using your own accessories. Dressing this look up with a simple pair of silver studs and a silver pendant necklace would also be nice.
- And while I really like these high-waisted denim bell bottoms because they really bring the 70s touch to this look, certainly a pair of jeans that you feel could be 'dress jeans' would work here. I still recommend at minimum a bootcut.
- And the shoes, again while mod– swap in your own black heels or wedges, but certainly not flats– a bell bottom or flare of any kind requires height.
And there ya go! We just saved you at minimum, $100!!
