There is that famous saying, "when life hands you lemons, make lemonade". Well, on the gloomy days where I am just drooling over every fashion show, dreaming about the beautiful pieces that I will never be able to afford, I use that saying as a form of inspiration to recreate runway looks. And yes, by that I mean over-the-top-and-impossible-to-obtain runway looks.
Often times, when we look at runway, we think of the looks as something only the designer can provide. We then get all depressed because we feel that the only way we'll be able to afford that beautiful Balmain look is to either a) win the lottery, or b) marry a rich man. However, life doesn't work like that.
From shopping in your mother's closet, your very own, or even in the nearest Target, you too can recreate runway looks without breaking the bank! If you are like me and have tons of clothes in your closet, you will have no trouble mixing and matching different pieces of clothing to replicate designers' looks.
"We get a lot of people in after New York Fashion Week," states Jessica Miller, who has been working at H&M for nearly 3 years.
"They come in looking to see if they can find items of clothing or accessories that look like the ones designers had in their fashion shows."
In the two pictures above, I tried to replicate the looks of both Oscar de la Renta and Balmain. Using key pieces that one can find in budget-friendly stores, you can recreate the designers' pieces without breaking the bank and making the most of what you can :)
