Looks For Less: Inspired by the Emmys

In my humble opinion, the fashion showcased at this year's Emmys deserved its own award. There was color, texture, flash, and individual style. From the highest of the high fashion runway pieces to the sweetest vintage finds, the women in attendance truly shined. And why shouldn't you get to do the same -- for WAY less? While some things just shouldn't be replicated (Anna Paquin's stunning Alexander McQueen runway dress), others were made to be imitated (birthday girl Lea Michele's cool navy Oscar de la Renta and chunky silver jewelry ensemble). And the ones that are missing? Well, they just shouldn't have been worn in the first place (Rita Wilson's head-to-toe Prada runway look, for example- never, ever wear one designer head-toe!). Below are some of my favorite looks and their inexpensive click-to-buy options.
