Usually my posts are "the look for less" but today my inspiration comes from budget-friendly store New York & Co. As I hope to illustrate everyday - it doesn't matter where your inspiration comes from, you can re-create without copying exactly, and within your own budget and existing closet. I love this outfit and am always grateful for inspiration that helps getting dressed easier and faster! What are some of your favorite sources for inspiration? Would you wear today's look?

Jacket: Spiegel c/o, old (sold out - similar, similar, similar)
Top: C. Wonder c/o, old (cheaper, cheaper, cheaper)
Skirt: J.Crew, $45 (similar, similar)
Belt: Limited, $22 (similar, similar)
Shoes: Nine West c/o, old (similar, similar, similar, round toe)
Bag: Emma Fox c/o Ross, old (same)

Also - I absolutely love Kate Spade, but it's usually out of my budget. I got an email about their sale and was impressed with how much cuteness they have under $100! Click through to see my post: 15 Kate Spade favorites under $125!
