Style On A Budget: Kim Kardashian

Hey beauties,

So today I'm starting a new series on my blog called "Style On A Budget".  Style On A Budget is going to be like "Get The Look For Less" series but not only will I be doing celebrities but also a style in general (i.e. Boho, Indie, Girl etc.).  Since this is my first one I wanted to start out with a celebrity with basic style.  I looked at a lot of photos of different celebrities but as I watched Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim's style became more classic and clear to me.  First off, these aren't always going to be the cheapest clothes.  I do not plan on going out to buy new clothes.  I am taking them from my closet and sometimes I do own expensive clothing but I will put a link where you can get a similar item for less money if that is this case.  Sorry for this HUGE intro and I am super sorry I have't been posting as often. Shall we get started?


First off this is the look I chose to work off of.  A trend in Kim's style is a plain t-shirt, skinny jeans, some heels and a blazer and that is what I decided to recreate in my look today.  Also, in my look I'll have a scarf on because Kim is wearing a scarf in the picture.  Speaking of accessories, Kim always has a sort of statement accessory whether it's jewellery, scarves, hats, sunglasses or bags.


This is the outfit I put together.  I changed it up a bit and I hope you all will read on to look at the elements in my look.


The top I chose to wear is from Abercrombie Kids.  It's this lace top (I have a tank top underneath) and I really like it.  I love the lace pattern and I thought I would make the outfit more interesting by adding a detailed top.  This top was about $13 dollars.  I can't find it online but they probably have it in stores.


My blazer!  I was supposed to wear a black one but my mom wore it our to dinner tonight.  Mine is from the brand Talula but I found this one from Forever 21 which is only $33.  It's not a Kim Kardashian look without a blazer.


Kim Kardashian is always wearing jeans.  In the picture, her jeans are light washed but I prefer mine dark.  The jeans I'm wearing are from 7 For All Mankind.  I got them for about $40 at Saks Fifth Off Fifth which is a great price.  I know $40 is a lot to pay for for some people so I found these jeggings at American Eagle for $30.


The last element is one of my personal favourites, booties!  I adore booties and I purposely found a picture of her wearing booties.  The booties I'm wearing are from Ann Taylor LOFT.  I got them last year so good luck finding these exact ones but there are tonnes of other places that sell them.  I found these Steve Madden ones, although they are a bit more expensive, I think it's worth investing for when it comes to shoes.

So that is all for my first ever, Style On A Budget.  I look forward to do so many more of these for you.  However,  I don't know which celebrities you would like to see.  Leave me a comment with a celebrity, a character from a movie or TV show, an everyday person you saw on Tumblr or a link to a picture.  Thanks for reading and I hope you had a fantastical time.
