Look for Less: Polka Dot Skirt
An elastic waist skirt and tank is a great alternative to a traditional pool cover up. If you like J. Crew’s Linen-Cotton Mini ($65), check out Target’s Xhiliration Belted Skirt ($20) for a look for less.

I’ve had good luck with everything I have purchased from Accessory Concierge. And I really love this yellow Kate Spade-inspired necklace they are selling today for $28.

Look for Less: Kate Spade ‘Carolyn’ Dress
The Kate Spade dress on the left is on sale for $333 (yes, that is the sale price!). The Old Navy dress on the right is on sale for only $20. And there’s an added bonus - the Old Navy dress looks pretty long, so it could be perfect for my fellow tall girls!

Women’s Everyday Printed Khaki Shorts - $22.94, Old Navy
If you’re a fan of J. Crew’s critter shorts, these Old Navy shorts are a great look for less. I also appreciate that they are 5” instead of 3” - not Bermuda shorts, but not way too short either!

Kirkland Signature Reversible Yoga Pants - $19.99
I love Lululemon yoga pants, but they are also crazy expensive. So I was pretty excited to see that Costco sells a very similar pair of yoga pants (they even contain the same key pocket in the waistband) for only $20. They had a number of different colors/patterns available for the waistband, and they are all also reversible to solid black.
The pants are available in S-XL, and in Short, Regular and Tall. I bought the tall and they are a perfect length!

Sunburst Statement Necklace - $22, Nordstrom
I like this twist on the bubble necklace - not quite as huge as the J. Crew version, and a longer chain as well.

Look for Less: Kate Middleton in Max Mara
Duchess Kate looked gorgeous during a recent visit to The Hope House, showing off a barely-there baby bump in a Max Mara wrap dress. The dress is from 2011 and is no longer available, but you can find a very similar wrap dress for only $29.99 at Kohl’s.

Look for Less: Manolo Blahnik’s ‘Hangisi’ Jeweled Pump
Manolo Blahnik’s royal blue satin pumps are gorgeous, but they also cost $965. For a look for less, try Audrey Brooke’s Sarah Pump for $69.95.

Look for Less: Emmy Rossum in Stop Staring
Emmy’s exact dress is available from Zappos for $125. For a look for less, try this Forever 21 dress for only $34.
-
Malia Obama in J. Crew
If you loved Malia’s purple coat, it is still available at J. Crew for $325. For a look for less, try this purple pea coat from Coldwater Creek for only $75!
