As fast as the days turned too hot in the sultry summer heat, the lure for boots, tights and sweater dresses is also catching on. Here’s a simple look from Banana Republic. Marked at $130.00, the sweater is a bit out of range for young shoppers with a budget. No worries! To snag this look, I’ve found similar styles for a fraction of the price.

Twelve by Twelve sweater: $36.00

Try any of these other fabulous finds with your choice of tights or skinny jeans and boots:

Forever21 Grey sweater: $26.90

H81 (Heritage 1981) Grey sweater $22.90

��Forever21 Teal tights: $5.80

Express Black clutch: $23.70

Designer Inspired Look: Seeing Green

So, if you didn�t get the chance to plant a tree and celebrate Earth Day properly last month, don�t fret, for it�s never to late to go green! Before you bust out your re-usable shopping bags and recycling bins, make sure you are properly outfitted first!

My favorite runway look this week is from Diane Von Furstenberg�s Spring 2008 Ready-to-Wear collection. Not only do I love this shade of green, but the silhouette has a blousy, boho feel, and the headscarf gives the look a very cute 70�s vibe.

Not ready to drop some serious $$$ on DVF? The look below won�t break the bank and might leave you some leftover cash for those energy-saving light bulbs you�ve been meaning to pick up.
