Hey Afaconados!

I was combing the internet today and came across a look I’m in love with that was worn by Olivia Palermo at the opening of Faberge’s New York flagship store recently. Olivia looked beyond chic in her tuxedo jacket, complete with black shorts, striped top and $945 Manolo Blahnik satin pumps (not kidding on the price). Did I neglect to mention that the Faberge necklace she wore was a 35.06 carat diamond necklace?

One of my favorite things to do is to find celebrity styles that I’d like to try out on my own, but not at the huge expenses that celebrities pay. I literally spend hours on end at times looking for comparable, and affordable pieces to match a look I’m in love with. Since all of us don’t have the cash flow to afford designer duds, I thought I’d take Oliva’s look and throw together a look of my own using pieces that are attainable. Here is Olivia’s look:

And here’s the look I created using selections that can be found on the internet:
