I absolutely love Jessica Alba and think she is gorgeous. She’s one of my favorite celebrities.  The outfit she is wearing is from the Christian Dior 2011 Fall collection. I couldn’t find the exact skirt and blouse but here are similar items:

I know the last Look for Less post, I didn’t have time to post prices.  Here is the difference between designer prices (similar items from above) and what I paid for a similar look.  Granted it’s not as amazing as her outfit, but it’s practical and you can wear it in real life. I added the sequin clutch in case you want to wear something like this to an event or party.

Designer Prices Mine
Blouse: $195 29.95
Skirt:    $1560 $39.95
Tights:  $72 $5.95
Shoes:   $995 $85
Purse:    $1649 $20
Total:    $4471   $180.85

This is totally random but I completely forgot to put lipstick on for this post and was so mad when uploading the photos. I was going to re-do the pics but it was getting too dark in my house. I didn’t want to look pale and washed out but oh well. Lesson learned! Always look in the mirror before taking pictures. Hope you enjoyed it : )

  1. actually, your natural lip color is very suitable for this look for less post. how do you even manage to figure out what the designer items specifically are?

  2. Thank you:) I didn't have it in me to re- take so nude lips will have to do:)

    If u click on the link for Jessica Alba in my post- it links to the site where I got the photo and it describes her outfit.

  3. Nice work! I don't like how billowy the sleeves are on Jessica Alba's blouse

  4. Totally prefer your rendition of this ensemble Annie, it's so beautiful!! I've been trying to find that blouse you're wearing on e-bay for forever! I first saw it on Jean so long ago I can't even remember and I've been keeping a search for it ever since! Lol I hate it when I forget to add little touches while I'm taking pictures! Honestly didn't miss the lipstick with this look though and you still look gorgeous 😉

  5. Great job, Annie! Jessica Alba is definitely one of my favorite actresses. She is naturally beautiful. She is gorgeous in this photo without a lot of make-up. So there is no need to worry about your nude lips =)

  6. this look for less definitely looks like it's worth more. it looks very well put together =)

  7. Wow! you look like Jessica Alba's twin! Jessica Alba has on nude-colored lipstick so your natural lip color actually matches perfectly!

  8. jessica alba IS my girl crush! she's so adorable 🙂 i like your recreation. her blouse is really interesting

  9. I love your version better than Jessica Alba's! Her outfit is more trendy while yours is classy and timeless. Especially with that sequin clutch… I love it!!

  10. Wow, you look really lovely here! I think the makeup is perfect, actually.

  11. Wow, at first glance, I thought those were all your pictures, then I saw Jessica Alba. Never thought of it but you two look like sisters.
    How do you keep the pleated skirts stay pleated? I just bought the black pleated skirt from Loft yesterday and now wonder if I should keep it. It seems very high maintenance. Ideas please!!!

  12. Thanks Vicky. I have been getting this my entire life. It's a huge compliment *blushing*. I think I used to look more like her when I had lighter/carmel hair. And guess what I bought as well? Yup- pleated skirt from LOFT! LOL Took pics this wknd! The waist is a too big but it's the only black pleated skirt I have found that I liked. Pleats are a pain to take care of especially when they are not knife pleats like my H&M one. Do you have a steamer? That usually works or hours of ironing. The Loft pleats are very small so your best bet is to dry clean.

  13. Thanks Callandra! You've been looking for this top? I've had it since last November and I would have helped you look for it! And you forget to add little touches too? I have never seen you look like anything less than amazing! I'll keep my eyes peeled for this blouse for ya 🙂

  14. I actually like this clean look! The dressy skirt n blouse combo is so gorgeous that the lip color would have either been a clash or too much i guess 😉 Love it!

  15. You look lovely here! I like your outfit better than Jessica's. Just like other comments, I love how yours is more classic.

    I have a navy dress from a wedding I was in and I always have a hard time styling it. I think I'll try again with tights & black pumps. & a black cardigan? It's a very flowy, ruffly dress. I think it's chaffon material and it's knee length. Or maybe I could try belting a white top similar to yours over the dress. Hmm…

  16. Love that pleated skirt on you, do you know if h&m still carries that in stores? i'd love to get one myself 🙂

  17. Hi Anita! This skirt was from earlier this Summer so I doubt that it's still in stores:( You can always try to call and ask….I don't remember the style # but let me take a look at some of my old posts:)
