The Look for Less: Olivia Palermo - Part 2

Olivia Palermo recently attended the Ermenegildo Zegna Milan Fashion Week Menswear A/W 2011 show in Milan wearing this fantastic outfit. Olivia's outfit included a creamy orange-colored Agnona blazer with a gray Agnona top and plaid Agnona trousers. She finished the outfit with a pair of mustard-hued Fashionistas by Kurt Geiger platform pumps and a gorgeous snakeskin Hermes clutch.

Because we can't all be Fashion Week fashionistas, here are three versions of Olivia's chic look for any budget.

Under $1300

Under $350

Under $175

Olivia's Shoes

Olivia's gorgeous Kurt Geiger pumps have beautiful embellishment on the front and heel. One great way to add embellishment to your favorite pair of shoes are these fabulous Urban Renewal Vintage Shoe Clips, available at Urban Outfitters for $24.

The Look for Less: Olivia Palermo

The lovely Olivia Palermo recently attended the the HauteMuse magazine and MATCHESFASHION.COM event at the Sharq Hotel, and I just love her outfit.

Olivia was decked-out in a beautiful Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2010 Celtic ivory lace sheath dress.

Olivia paired her beautiful runway dress with a pair of Elizabeth & James peeptoe booties ($320)

And a gorgeous Bottega Veneta Knot Woven Clutch in a bold red ($1220)

Out of all of Olivia's beautiful accessories, the one receiving the most attention is her Leila Kashanipour gold flower ring ($398). Quite stunning!

If you are like me, then you likely don't have thousand's upon thousands of dollars to spend on Ms. Palemro's outfit. Instead, I found similar looks for three price points: under $1200, under $250, and under $150.

Under $1200

Things I learned about this painting:

1) The farmer who posed for this painting was actually Grant Wood's dentist
2) The woman who posed for the daughter is actually Wood's sister
