Recreating Outfits During a Time of Illness - #3 - Ashley Somebody and Jessica Kane

I came across this inspiration picture back in March and kept it on my mind. Peplum was everywhere.  I was still unsure about it.   I'm not really sure who this chick is but she is gorgeous!  Once again, the outfit is basic.  Basic is kind of my thing.  I like clean lines with a twist. 

Recreation Cost from website:  $108


 Then I was reading my daily fashion blogs in June and came across this My Peplum Buying Tips by Jessica Kane. I instantly fell in love with this peplum top.  It was from Simply Be and I had bought a few things from there.  Their stuff is higher end and you pay for it; however, their stuff will last you for many years.  It is an investment.  I had to have the top.  I got it on sale for $40.60.  That includes shipping.  Jessica was right about the quality.  It's so nice.  I was impressed.  Below is her inspiration picture for me.  BTW, the top is now on sale for $34.80 so if you can score a coupo code, it's an even greater savings!


This is my recreation. 



 (These shoes are fabulous and comfortable.  I've had them for a few years. I paid the same price!)



Got the necklace off of Etsy for around $20 and the watch is a
old watch that used to belong to my hubby until I stole it.  (FREE!)  
Below you can see a matching bracelet to the necklace.  I got it off
of ebay for about $2. 
 



This clutch came from Double Digits Consignment for $5.



  My cost was $132.59 but I'm okay with it being more because of the high quality of the peplum top.  It will last forever.
