Look for Less: Charlotte Olympia Kissing Lips Clutch

Charlotte Olympia Lips Clutch Look for Less
Valentine's Day might be over, but that doesn't mean it's escaped creeping into your wardrobe. I've always liked the Charlotte Olympia kiss clutch ($525). I mean, it's adorable! I'm all about sugar and spice, and this clutch is like the most awesome representation of that. I feel like I always say this, but I could definitely see this fabulous purse paired with a cool leather moto jacket. Can't you see it? Black skinny jeans, white tee, black leather jacket, edgy ankle boots, red lip, and this awesome clutch. It's simple. It's minimalistic. But it's also fun and whimsical. If you're feeling this look but aren't feeling the price tag, the Boohoo Alice lips clutch ($24) is an awesome look for less. I even love that it has the wrist strap because I won't lose it. I definitely need to pick this one up.

Rompers and jumpsuits bring warmer months to mind, but Cat Deeley shows us how simple layering can make these closet staples wearable whenever. The TV personality stepped out in her Ella Moss Wanderlust Crossfront Jumpsuit ($230), pairing it with a fitted navy blazer, a large leather crossbody, strappy heeled sandals and dark brown aviator sunnies. I love the bright, bold patterning of the Ella Moss design and the heels are a must-have, adding length when paired with the skinny style of the pant leg. In this recreation we made sure the romper was still the focal point of the ensemble, making sure that our look focused on a similar wrap style and bold pattern. Read on to get Cat's look for less...
