Outfit Of The Yesterday (And Just When It Seems That The Game Is Hopeless, We Rearrange Some Things For A Dose Of Dopeness)

♫: Dose of Dopeness -Kid Cudi


I immediately fell in love after spying the little Zara jacket that I am wearing below (you know, as in love as one can possibly be with an inanimate object--and we haven't even been on our second date yet!) (Or as my South Dakotan Norse brethren always say: sometimes when ya just know, ya know...ya know?) because of its divine little Burberry Prorsum Spring RTW 2011 leanings:

The Burberry version is a million times more fierce, but unfortunately it is also a million times more expensive.

And sometimes, I just like my dates to be cheap and easy:

Jacket: Zara, recent purchase (but no longer online) (similar at F21) (similar at GAP) (similar here)
Top: Grey Cotton V-neck T, old (similar at GAP)
Belt: Miss Selfridge (similar at Kohl's) (and a fun option at Topshop)
Skirt: Zara (buy it here) (similar at F21)
Pumps: J Crew Valentina Pumps in Coral (similar here) (similar here) (similar at Zappos)
Bag: Diane Von Furstenberg Harper Day Clutch (similar here by DVF) (similar under $200) (similar under $100)
Nail Polish: Chanel Black Pearl (buy it here)

    That Burberry Prorsum jacket is amazing! Especially paired with the gorgeous green belt. But your Zara jacket is all kinds of fabulous and tough too :)

    That jacket sold out online in less than a day, bummer. I had that skirt but sent it back. Looks much better on you!

    Isn't the Burberry one beyond gorgeous? I keep waiting for someone to do a dupe a little bit closer to it, but so far I haven't found a darn thing. :(

    Thanks so much, Amber!  It's nice having a cute pump in a slightly lower/comfy heel, too--hope you love yours as much as I love mine! ♥

    YES.  You've seen the 'connect' one, I take it? I'm currently oogling this little clutch: http://www.dvf.com/Adele-Embossed-Crocodile-Clutch/H2001025P12,default,pd.html?dwvar_H2001025P12_color=PPGSH&start=17&preselectsize=yes&cgid=clutches-handbags&source=shopstyle

    I think her handbag line is good for the price point. The leather isn't quite as soft as MBMJ or Rebecca Minkoff, but the styling makes up for it a bit!

    Love the military feel to that jacket. Especially the epaulets! And I adore Zara jackets/blazers.

    I was completely in lust with that Burberry coat too -- it's great that you managed to find a similar look without breaking the bank.
