Dress for Less: Inspired By Matthew Williamson

For this edition of Dress for Less I decided to draw inspiration from one of the Matthew Williamson Pre-Fall 2011 looks.  I just love the teal pants paired with the gorgeous yellow jacket!  I could NOT find teal pants for the longest time and then I remembered YesStyle and they had a lot of teal choices, these were the best. I had to resort to Forever 21 for the perfect color jacket, but I'm okay with that, ha ha.  It is also a little more expensive than usual because the pieces were so hard to find and I wanted to get it right.  The boot color is a bit off, but the shape is perfect.

Pants - YesStyle $27
Coat - Forever 21 $34.80
Boots - ASOS $51.72
Scarf - ROXY via Amazon $14.99
TOTAL: $128.51

    How daring! I don't know if I'd have the guts to wear a bright jacket AND bright pants at the same time! You did a great job recreating this look, though. I've never seen teal pants anywhere, so great job hunting those down (even if it took a while)!

    Teal and yellow is SUCH a wonderful combination. Thanks for drawing my mind to it. I wish I owned either of those colors (I don't) so now there's a glaring hole in my wardrobe that I will have lots of fun filling.
