Fashion For Mom – Fashion on a Budget – Navy And White Maxi Skirt
I’m not sure if you have noticed, but I’m a little obsessed with navy/white color combinations! I think that it is just so clean and classic. So when I saw this outfit on Wishlist123’s Polyvore on Pinterest I knew that I had to recreate it! Unfortunately, the original skirt and tank top couldn’t be found (along with their prices), but the before price for this outfit was $221.53. Not bad. Not great. But we’ve seen far worse! 😉
Want to see my version? Here it is!
My TOTAL cost for this outfit is $173.05! And I included a few extra accessories than the original did!
The Hat:
Hats are awesome for protecting your skin in the summer! Not to mention covering up bad hair days and they are definitely ‘in’ right now! The original hat was Juicy Couture and from Piperlime (now sold out) and cost $68.
Our version is a steal for only $12.99 from Tilly’s! Use the code SUMMER20RMN for an additional 20%! That code will bring the price down to $10.39! (Get it here!)
The Earrings:
The original earrings were SUCH a steal at only $2.58 from Rivers Island (a UK company) but they are now sold out.
The inspired earrings are still a great deal at just $10.83 from Amazon and they will ship for free! (Get them here!)
(Want a gold pair? Here is a pair for only $1.99 on Amazon!)
The Necklaces:
The original necklace is from Maurices and was only $10. It’s now sold out. Bummer!
Our look alike is just $5.99 from Amazon! (Get it here!)
(Want a gold anchor necklace? Check out this one! It’s only $2.99!)
The Tank:
The original tank top is from AE and was $20. (Now sold out.)
For our inspired by tank, I decided to go with a little thicker straps! This basic tank is from Old Navy and just $7.00! Use the code EVERYTHING for an additional 20% off bringing the tank to just $5.60! (Get it here!)
The Skirt:
The original skirt is from a post that Jen from Tatertots & Jello posted a few years ago. Her link was to a store called John Lewis (a UK company) and it has since sold out. I don’t know about the original price.
BUT if this is not the exact same skirt it’s a SUPER DUPER close one! It’s from Amazon! It’s $68, which is more than I usually post things for, but I think it’s worth it! The color is great and I love the small stripes! I think that you will get tons of wear out of this! (Get it here!)
The Handbag:
The original bag is the Anna Field Tote Bag. This seems to be a bag and brand available in the UK. The original was from Zalando and was $42. (Now sold out.)
The inspired by bag…I know is totally different. But I think I fell in love with it! It IS about the same size and DOES have stripes! 🙂 Plus, you guys, it’s only $11.88 and ships for FREE! (Get it here!)
The Shoes:
I really liked the original shoes (Steve Madden) from Lord and Taylor! They were $79 and you guessed it, sold out.
I chose to get a smaller wedge heel (because I would break my neck in the others….probably while tripping over my maxi skirt!) I love the rope design on this pair of Mootsies Tootsies from Shoe Carnival! They are $39.98, but use the code SHOES10 and you should get an additional $10 off bringing them down to just $29.98! (Get them here!)
The Extras:
I am loving the layered look of accessories right now! So I thought I would add a few to the outfit!
The boyfriend watch in white and gold is only $13.99 on Amazon. Shipping is only 99¢! (Get it here!)
And the navy and white bracelet set is JUST $2.39 and ships for free! (Get it here!)
So there you go! Our outfit! $173 for all 9 pieces! (Or even less with the coupon codes!) See fashion on a budget is doable and so cute!

Love your inspires outfit! In shopping yesterday I saw a lot of navy things! I think your choices would be great additions to my summer wardrobe!
Great way to find savings and still have a fashion statement!
Love the skirt! I love your handbag more than the original outfit. Nice job!
I love this! I am always looking for ways to have the look for less
I am not a stylish person but I could do all of this, especially the long skirt.
This is AWESOME, and actually I like the purse and the shoes that were cheaper!! (That usually doesn’t happen with me!) Very cute outfit, I really need to buy some skirts for work!
Me either! I usually have a talent for picking out the most expensive thing in the store. 🙂
I love this outfit. I’m not one for stripes but on the maxi skirt it looks really pretty. I also love it’s way cheaper then the original outfit.
That whole outfit is killer! Id looooove to have the skirt. Thred up is an awesome site.
I love the outfits and what a great way to show that you can have cute stuff with not a lot of money.
Cute outfit and I love how you broke down how much everything was.
Lovely nautical-inspired ensemble you have created there! Wow! I love how they are put together and the theme is spot on! I love the skirt because that chevron-like pattern can make me slim. 🙂 Also, those bracelets are so cute that I can forget not wearing any watch and just opt for them.
I love navy blue so this get-up is certainly a big hit to me. Thumbs up!
Great outfit! I really like it. I love those long maxi skirts.

Gosh, the entire collection is super cute! You have great taste and did an awesome job cutting down on the expense while maintaining the integrity of the outfit!
I’m a SUCKER for anything navy and white! I’m wearing navy today, as are a few of my colleagues. I’m lucky that it’s one of our school colors. 😉 I love that skirt!!
