Dress for Less: The Freja Booties

Today I decided to add a little twist to my usual Dress for Less feature! I am making an outfit for $100 not counting the cost of one central piece: The Alexander Wang Freja Booties.  I was seriously considering buying these babies when they landed on the site a couple weeks ago, but they are $270, so I will be good and resist.

Boots: Alexander Wang via The Outnet $270
Blouse $25.61
Pants $27.44
Purse $27.44
TOTAL: $350.49
TOTAL WITHOUT SHOES: $80.49

Should I do more posts like this?  I'd pick one designer piece that is really unique and fun and create an outfit around it with those pieces adding up to under $100.  You guys could even send in pieces for me to feature!

Also, Shop It To Me is having an AWESOME contest where you can win a Marc Jacobs bag, Rebecca Minkoff bag, Christian Louboutin shoes, or Jimmy Choo shoes!  To win all you have to do is  sign up, enter the contest, then invite your friends to join for extra entries.
