Have you ever watched Keep Up With Kardashians? Chances are unless you haven’t turned on a television in years, you have. Kim Kardashian is a starlet known for scandal, beauty, a crazy family, and her STYLE. Recently, she has taken her fashion love to the next level. She has released a clothing line exclusively with Sears alongside her sisters, creatively titled the Kardashian Kollection. If you have wanted to steal Kim’s expensive designer wardrobe, I’m going to show you how. The best part is, both outfits fit within a classy college co-ed’s budget.
The first look is an everyday look with Kim strutting around town. This look will turn heads in any place. It could work for school, lunch with the girls, or a trip to the mall. Kim rocks a striped white and red shirt, an army green skirt, nude heels, and a designer bag. This look had cost Kim’s hundreds, not counting the bag worth thousands! First, the shirt, I found striped top from yesstyle.com for a steal of $22! It is what seems to be an exact replica of Kim’s! Next is the army green skirt. It’s on sale at yesstyle.com for only $24! The one that is featured even has extra flare with button details down the sides. Kim’s doesn’t have this detail, but it is important when getting inspired from a look to make it your own. Lastly, what Kardashian look would be complete without some killer heels and a fabulous bag? When looking for shoes my go-to place is always DSW, and like always they didn’t disappoint. Kim’s strappy heels easily cost hundreds, but these from DSW are a much less budget-breaking $50. Without doubt the hardest to match was the bag. After some research I found a good match from piperlime.gap.com
My second look is an evening look. Kim loves to go out and have a good time, and often she sports a figure-flattering bodycon dress. It has become her signature. I found this photo of Kim taken very recently in a white-jeweled bodycon dress. It was taken after she had gotten her new ‘do, as she is now framing her beautiful face with blunt bangs. Kim’s dress is Gucci, and while all girl would kill for a designer dress, that dress in particular cost more than most people’s entire wardrobe! I found a very similar party dress from nastygal.com with metal accents for $48! I am a fan of the replica dress because the mesh and the sweetheart neckline and mesh on top make it more age-appropriate and edgy. Also in Kim’s look she pairs the dress with closed-toe glitter heels. I found similar stilettos at heels.com for $50. The final pieces to the look are the set of bangles and hoop earrings. Ever since I was ten years old my non-stop-shop for accessories for accessories for Claire’s and that hasn’t changed. I found the bracelets for $13, close to the price of this fashionista’s cup of coffee. Joking. But all kidding aside, they are an amazing deal. The earrings I found at American Apparel, a company for both the famous and everyday fabulous co-eds alike.
I hope these looks inspire you to try something new and not be afraid to copy your favorite stars. It’s not as hard to “keep up with the Kardashians” as you may have thought.
