Meanwhile In Current Season: Stella McCartney And A Topshop Lookalike

Seems Topshop has jumped on the paneled body con bandwagon with a series of skirts that remind us of the Stella McCartney Spring 2009 rendering. Surely there's a quality difference here but we're happy that chicsters shopping at both price points can enjoy the look. On another note, seeing the color discrepancy between runway and Net-a-Porter reminds us--no matter how much we love e-commerce--that color can't be trusted.

Jeans, Urban Outfitters $65

Skirt, Forever 21 $19

Leggings, American Apparel $34

Dress, Urban Outfitters $68

Givenchy Bootie, $594

If you have your eye on one of the famed Fall 08 booties (like this pair by Givenchy) then you might need some options for what to wear with them that won't be quite as costly. In this economy, it's all about investing in one or two pieces and then getting creative with the rest. Our opinion is to spend more on jackets, shoes, or handbags, and shop vintage or mass market otherwise. We're not endorsing an overboard H&M raid, but every girl deserves a few new things at the beginning of a season.
