Celeb Dress for less, Designer edition: Marc by Marc Jacobs

April 10th, 2010 → 10:01 am @


One of my favorite runway looks (included in my Guide to Spring 2010 eBook!) this spring is Marc Jacobs’ printed shorts. The outfit is a perfect blend of whimsical and chic – a look that can translate well into everyday wear. I particularly love how he balances out showing quite a bit of leg with a high collar (too much of anything is never a winning situation!). That’s why I’ve chosen this look for our Dress For Less edition this week:

Part nautical, part Lolita, this is a great look for spring!

Here’s how you can get it for less:

Clockwise from the top left corner: ModCloth Hometown tunic, $39.99; Forever21 elastic studded belt, $6.80; Urban Outfitters Anchor bracelet, $12.00; Forever21 tie down rhinestone bracelets, $10.80; Forever21 thin satin bow band, $1.50; Liz Claiborne Tami ankle wrap sandal, $49.95; Urban Renewal Silky Sailor Shorts, $48.00.

To get this outfit, look for printed shorts, a flowy top, and nautical themed accessories. I chose neutral colored accents to balance out the colorful pieces, keeping it from looking too clown-like. A bow headband adds a touch of femininity. Enjoy!

Is this a look you would try? How do you feel about printed shorts? What do you think of the Marc Jacobs bow…can you rock it in real life (I want to, I’m just not sure how!)? Let me know!
