I know the initial reaction to seeing an outfit or an article of clothing you like is, “where did she get that? I want it!”. However, it’s so much more enjoyable (and usually much less expensive) to find what you love about something you see and make it into your own look, your own style. No one wants to be an exact replica of someone else (hopefully) but it is a wonderful thing to be inspired by what you see and create a look that gives a similar visual effect. Plus, I know for me, it is much more satisfying to receive a compliment when I know it belongs to me and me alone:) And besides, we women with limited expendable income must be creative!
Some examples…
Gabriella Rocha Neve, $69
Top Shop blouse, $48 and pants, $90
Top Shop dress, $100 and Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, $275 (splurge but I just love them:)
Top Shop Dress, $100; Coach python shoes ($119)
I would probably add a blazer of some sort to the above outfit… something like:
ASOS sleeveless blazer, $43.10 or Urban Outfitters blazer, $58 (I own the second blazer, love it)

Completely agree. Sometimes I think people confuse the difference between being inspired and outright copying. I’ll admit when I’m copying, but it’s more fun when you’re inspired to create your own outfit.
