A few weeks ago I saw a fashion spread in a magazine. It featured a model wearing a black and white blazer, black tank top, faded boyfriend jeans, and hot pink stilettos.
I replicated the look–same colors on different pieces for a fraction of the cost.
Jacket: Swapped
Tank: Old Navy
Jeans: Goodwill
Vegan belt: Couch
Shoes: Swapped
Bag: Susan Nicole
Jewelry: Gifted (thanks mom!)
I picked up this jacket at a clothing exchange. I performed a bit of surgery on it–a shoulder-pad-ectomy to be precise–and brought it into the new millennium.
I already had the tank, and you’ve probably seen these jeans by now.
Instead of bright pink shoes (which I do have, incidentally), I wore a pair of black pumps from the same clothing exchange. I love my pink heels, but one stand-out piece was enough for this look.
Have you ever copied a magazine look? What personal touches do you give your outfits?
I’m joining Style Elixir for a link-up today. See what all the others are wearing!

A classy casual look! I haven’t copied a magazine model yet, but I’ve copied you (you inspire me) and a mannequin in a window display! Does that count?
Love that little jacket, it really makes this outfit chic. Of course, the pop of pink adds pizazz! I noticed the necklace right away, glad you like it! ♥
Why thank you! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery 😉 I think copying a mannequin s good too. The stylists who dress them know a thing or two!
