I know it's been a few days since the Oscar's, but I needed some time to process my picks for best dressed. Not only that, I've been quite busy.
So, to get ready for your next big event, check out these red carpet look-a-like dresses at reasonable prices. You'll be sure to leave people talking.
Olivia Wilde - I don't think she could make pregnancy look anymore glamorous! She's stunning and the back definitely makes it all the more perfect.
Look-a-Like - L'Agence Leather-Trimmed Open-Back Maxi Dress from Barney's for $498. You could always add a white sash/fabric on the back to make it look even more similar.
Jennifer Lawrence - I'm a sucker for red dresses. This dress is absolutely simple yet chic. Also, props to a new and inventive way of wearing a necklace. Why don't more people do this?
Look-a-Like - Bari Jay 730 (Available in Brick or Cranberry) from Wedding Shoppe, Inc. for $147.
Jessica Biel - Love the flattering shape of this dress. Not to mention, the slight shimmer affect.
Look-a-Like - Hailey by Adrianna Papell Strapless Glitter Gown from Amazon for $209
Julia Roberts - Classy and Elegant. She does this dress justice and I absolutely love the lace detailing.
Look-a-Like - Jarlo Button Peplum Maxi Dress with Lace Collar from Asos.com for $75.28
Giuliana Rancic - She's one of my favorites and she can pull off this dress without a doubt. To put it simply it's just gosh darn pretty!
Look-a-Like - Speechless 'Princess Ballgown' Floral Bodice Tulle Gown from Nordstrom for $180
Lupita Nyong'o - This isn't one of my favorite colors on her, but I love the story behind how she picked it. Also, it's a darling dress. Not only that, but the headband just makes it. Absolutely stunning with the diamonds!
Look-a-Like - Pinko Black Long Dress (Sky Blue) from
Yoox.com for $194
Angelina Jolie - There always needs to be one long-sleeved dress that rocks the red carpet and this was it!
Look-a-Like - This one is definitely pricier, but it's the only one I could find remotely close to Angelina Jolie's. Theia Lace Boatneck Gown from Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,195
Old clothes can be just as good as new items. Take for example the skirt in the picture below. But wait! Looks can be deceiving.
It's not actually a skirt, but a dress, which I haven't worn in over a year.
Try using old articles of clothing in new ways.
You never know just what you might come up with. It can change the whole way you look at the clothes in your closet.

Style Tip: Don't overpay for flats/shoes! I actually bought these flats in the Girl's Section at Target for far cheaper than what they would have been in Woman's because they were on clearance and there was a Cartwheel deal. Not only that, they look exactly the same as something you'd buy in Woman's. It's worth it just to check it out.
WOWZA! Anybody would look smoking hot in this Little Red Dress from Brickyard Buffalo. You will stop people dead in their tracks if you're sporting this little number. It's absolutely perfect for a wedding, evening out, nice dinner party, you name it, AND.... it's only $17.90. Such a steal! It's a savings of 44.1% from it's original price of $32. Not only is the price amazing, but the detail around the neckline is edgy, but elegant at the same time to add just the right touch.
I would not wait a moment on this one because it'll probably be gone before you know it. I don't even think it'll last the 2 and a half days that they still have the sale.
This is a great outfit that can go from day to night. All you need to do to is take off the cardigan and scarf and throw on a chunky statement necklace. You could even add a leather jacket for an extra edgy/night look depending on the weather. If you're not feeling the shoes for night, pull on a cute nude or gray peep toe or black heel and you're good to go for a night out on the town!

Perfect timing with my, "Back to Basics: Scarves post from yesterday.
This "The Spring is Coming" Scarf from Brickyard Buffalo is on sale for $14.99. It's a savings of 50% off from the original price of $29.99.
Don't wait! You only have a little over 2 and a half days to get it and how could you not want this in your closet for spring?!
Ruffled tops are a MUST. They're great because they have their own special detail so that you don't even need to wear a necklace or scarf. They're their own accessory. Ruffles are perfect for any woman because they give the look a feminine touch without being too over-the-top or little girlish. In addition, not only can you wear them alone, but they also look great under blazers and cardigans. I just recently got the ruffled shirt pictured from Loft and have two other ones from TJMaxx and Target.
Check out other great ruffled shirt options below that you can buy now!

- Pink Sweater - TJMaxx
- White Collared Button Down
Shirt - H&M
- Nina Pink Pearl Satin Ribbon Necklace - I'm not exactly sure where it's from because I got it from my sister-in-law for Christmas, but it also has a matching bracelet. There's a close up picture of the necklace below.
I paired it with....
- Khaki Skinny Pants - H&M
- Nine West Pink Flats - TJMaxx
Nina Pink/Pearl Satin Ribbon Necklace
Just picture it.... How perfect would this outfit be paired with a pair of aviators in the summer time? Instead, it's being buried under layers upon layers of sweaters, coats, scarves, and boots.
These two are a perfect summer combo, not to say you can't wear them in the winter, but like I said, they would just look so good out in the sunshine with your aviators on. I guess all I can do is dream for now.
The shirt definitely gives the outfit more of a dressed down feel, but at the same time, you're still dressed up. For some reason, it just works, or you might agree with my husband who thinks these two clothing items don't work together at all, and that's ok! You are welcome to your opinion. I can't say I'd normally put these two items together when I'm getting ready in the morning, but you'd be amazed by the number of compliments I got, especially on my skirt.
