In preparation for some upcoming projects (and also as a general hobby) I've been looking at all the latest collections and I particularly love Lisa Ho's Winter 2012 collection. This collection focuses on botanical inspired prints and colours, which Lisa says, are perfectly paired back with crisp black and white.
One look in particular from this collection I absolutely adored and will be featured as today's Luxe to Less. It's a really simple look and the beauty of this outfit is that it's quite easy to replicate for those of us that can't afford head-to-toe Lisa Ho.
Blazer - $489, pants - approx $389, blouse - $329, shoes - $499. All Lisa Ho.
Yup... you've got it right... this outfit head to toe is approx $1706. One day when I'm killing it I will be able to buy head-to-toe Ho (rhyming skillz) but in the interim I've come up with some wallet-friendly substitutes.
Blazer - Dorothy Perkins approx $47
Blouse - Country Road $99
Pants - H&M approx $15
Shoes - Steve by Steve Madden $159
In total - this substitute outfit comes in at approximately $320 - which my friends, is cheaper than just ONE item of the above outfit. Snaps to me. I absolutely love Lisa Ho and do actually own items of hers, but while I'm not working, the latter option will be my go-to.
By the way - I actually bought the H&M skirt in the same floral material as the pants and it is so nice and comfortable... and gets a lot of compliments.
