Dress Like the Mini

On Friday I took this photo of the Mini Fashionista. Doesn't she have great street style? Truth be told, most days she looks better than I do. 

One of my friends (SB) commented that she would wear the outfit if it came in her size. Which, by the way, is a jacket from Old Navy, tunic and leggings from Carter's (all from the kid's consignment sales I blogged about here), cardigan by Crewcuts (ebay purchase) and her most coveted pony hair shoes from Zara (a gift). 

So for anyone else who likes the Mini's street style, I thought I would put together the adult equivalent of what she is wearing...with a budget in mind, of course!  

Let's start at the bottom with these Gap Leopard Calf Hair Ballet Flats for $49.95.

Zelda Colored Jeans from Express on sale for $49.90

Sashimi Utility Anorak $58

Asos Cardigan with bobble stitch $70.36

And finally, the patterned piece to pull the whole look together, Lands' End Canvas Pintuck Top $70!

We'd love to see your version of the Mini Fashionista's outfit. If you have similar items in your closet and want to share your look with us, email it to cardicouture@gmail.com or post to the C&C facebook page! 

Much to My Liking

Nothing completes a fall or winter ensemble like a good blazer. I received the most recent Boden catalogue last week and found these beauties much to my liking. 

And while this is not a blazer, I am kind of in LOVE with this hand held tweed tote. I feel that when combined with skinny dark jeans, a Barbour jacket and some fabulous riding boots I will be channeling Duchess Kate.
