Several seasons ago, I had the pleasure of working with Joy Sewing on a inspiration vs affordable fashion trend article for the Houston Chronicle. We chatted on how to educate your eye on trends and when to splurge on luxury pieces. Fast forward a few seasons, my summer intern, Rachel, and I are putting those tips to work for you! There are SO many great luxury look-alikes in stores right now and who doesn’t like to save a few bucks?!

High/Low Fashion Finds
Since its first walk down the runway, this Dolce & Gabbana rose-print dress has been the envy of every designer. Many have tried to imitate it, but few have come as close as this lower priced option from House of Fraser.
This green Lanvin drape top is stunning, but at a thousand dollars, it’s likely to put a dent in your budget. This more affordable version, has the same effect for a fraction of the cost.
This Milly off-the-shoulder blue and white striped dress carries a fun nautical vibe. The Eliza J version is strikingly similar in design while also elongating one’s figure with the use of vertical stripes and a longer hemline. And all with a more wallet-friendly price tag!
This swimsuit has become hugely popularly this season with its bow top and scalloped bottoms. This budget friendly option from Target is impressively similar. At Forty-Eight dollars, it’s definitely a steal!
Almost every celebrity has been spotted with this sophisticated Givenchy handbag. Although it carries a hefty price tag, the average shopper is not out of luck. This nearly identical bag from Rebecca Minkoff makes the perfect substitute.
These suede Aquazzura sandals have been selling out of every store since they were seen on popular fashion blogs. Coming in at over seven hundred dollars, they may not be the most feasible purchase. Steve Madden does a wonderful job at emulating them for a reasonable price.
This David Yurman cable bracelet have been one of the most coveted fashion pieces for decades. It’s no surprise that it carries a price tag worthy of the demand. This adaptation from Macy’s bears such a striking resemblance to the original that no one will tell it’s not the real thing.
