O.k.. recently I have discovered Polyvore.
On that site I can create luscious fashions that I love… and can’t afford. Not the $200.00 outfits… I mean the $2000.00 outfits – like this one.

And then I realized I could create a knock off of that look much cheaper by using the Internet. Which may be a bad thing in the long run.

I love this great, sophisticated look. A simple black dress with leopard accents and tiger’s eye jewelry but the original look I created on Polyvore started with a $900.00 price tag on the gucci dress.
Can I do better on Amazon?
Check it out!

So, grand total? And that includes everything in the set including makeup…

Original set that I made – $1,579.00

Amazon set that I made – 279.36

Click on the images for information about sizes, fabrics, etc.

You could create the outfit for less by using a different dress but I wouldn’t suggest changing the shoes… Those Betsey Johnsons just make the look… I own them and I LOVE them…

Anyway… you will be seeing this hanging in my closet….soon. Unless you guys beat me to it.
