While it’s quite sad that our Tigers weren’t selected to compete in the 2013 National Invitation Tournament, we can still participate in the chaos and excitement that has been dubbed, “March Madness.” Fashion and sports may not be paired together often (if ever), but even if you’re not usually a big sports fan, you can still join the fun. Get into the spirit by rocking a sporty, yet chic, look while enjoying the intense games with your friends over the next few weeks.
This week, we’re going to recreate this glam meets sporty look in a way that doesn’t leave your bank account in complete ruins.
Top: This black Helmut Lang top may seem plain, but it actually sells for over $90 simply because of the designer name. Here is a similar black crop top from Topshop for just $20.
Pants: Long gone are the days when sweatpants were reserved for only for lazy days in the house. The right fit can turn a pair of sweatpants from drab to fab! Just find a pair that are fit around the waist and ankles, but loose in between. The sweatpants the model is wearing are designed by Zoe run for $104. A much more affordable pair can be found at ASOS for just $59.34. Also, ASOS ships its products for free, which is always a plus when you’re on a budget.
Shoes: As we featured in last week’s blog, wedge sneakers are absolutely “in” for this spring. Our model this week is wearing a pair of kicks by Ash that go for about $230.00, but you can find an identical pair from Famous Footwear for just $59.99.
Necklace: Since the top by itself is pretty plain, accessorizing with a bold necklace is a great way to keep from being on the boring side. The necklace on the model is by Shay Accessories and is on sale for $675. Yes, you read that right. Pick your jaw up from the floor! No worries, because a similar fan necklace can be found for just $12.80 at Forever 21.
Happy Shopping!
