Beer, cheer and tacky t-shirts. That’s typically what a St. Patrick’s day looks like no matter where you go. But, if you’d like to wear an outfit this year that you may actually wear again, I’ve come up with a few ideas. Whether you’re going to work, a parade, or out on the town, these looks make you look festive…not foolish.

(P.S. There’s a Celtic necklace that I wore in this recent post if you’re really wanting something authentic. Click to check it out. Great price point by the way!)

It’s (almost) Valentine’s Day! And who cares whether you have a bf or not…. it’s always fun to dress for the occasion right?! I’ve included three different ideas depending on your mood and every item is under $100. So whether you’re going to a romantic dinner or singing Alanis Morissette on the karaoke with your girlfriends – at least we can LOVE our outfits right?! 

Anyone who knows me knows I love my band tees. One of the reasons is because they’re so versatile. They’re not just for jeans anymore! You can dress them up or down depending on the look you’re going for. I’ve included two examples of how you could style your favorite tee. One with some color, the other with a more neutral palette.

 

What’s YOUR favorite way to dress up a tee?

 

When I need a little style inspiration I always look to Olivia Palermo. Her outfits are never boring, but every piece seems to go together seamlessly.

For this ‘look 4 less’ recreation I knew that the Christian Louboutin booties would have to be replaced for a more budget friendly version (insert huge sigh here). HOWEVER, I came across this pair from TopShop and they have gold soles so you stil get a semi-similar effect.

Next up, leopard print skirt. I haven’t come across a lot of them in stores, so you may have to go online for this one. You can just click the link below to take a peek at the version I’ve included here.

And don’t you LOVE chunky knit sweaters paired with blazers? I do! Plus, when you throw in an orange purse/clutch it allows you to mix navy and black. That color combo is no longer a style no-no ladies!

 

Do you have any celeb looks you’d like turned into budget friendly versions?
