Altuzarra's pastels for Fall

Welcome to Bad B on a Budget everyone and hurray for my first post! The whole premise behind this blog is finding different pieces, sometimes whole outfits of very high end, luxury goods and giving you a less expensive options. Lets face it not all of us have a stacks, on stacks, on stacks just hanging out in the bank, but we all want to look great! Anyway lets get into it! If you are curious to know more about me check out my About Me section! This first outfit from Altuzarra's Fall/Winter 2015 runway incorporates 3 of my favorite things, comfy knits, pastel colors, and pencil skirts!

I love the way the knit sweater looks with a sleek pencil skirt, its so chic and put together while still looking effortless. If you have a spare $1400 laying around go ahead and splurge BUT I found 2 pieces that will give you that same effortless look for much less!

Buy River Island Skirt

This skirt from River Island is only $44 and is that same powder blue color! 

Buy Mango Knit Sweater

And this sweater from Mango is only $59.99! Just tuck the sweater into the skirt and slip on your favorite pair of heeled boots like they did at Altuzarra or even a pointed toe nude pump would look great with this. You would have a show stopping outfit for the office and pastels are a great way to change up the usual drab color palette of fall.
