What I'm Wearing: Kmart Fashion Fall Footwear Faves




When Kmart Fashion challenged me to create a look using the latest fall fashions and style it with two pairs of shoes, I jumped on the chance to pick up these Attention two-tone riding boots I'd been eying ever since a reader tipped me off to them. For just $39.99, I finally have my budget-babe take on the Chanel two-tone riding boots that I've been lusting after for so long. To go with my boots, I got inspired by this look seen on Kourtney Kardashian and paired a Sofia Vergara tan blazer ($29.99) with ponte leggings ($18.74) and a white tee. A black satchel ($13.49) and boyfriend watch ($19.99) finish the look. When the weather's warmer, I'll swap my riding boots for chic burgundy smoking flats by Bongo ($19.99) - I love how these add a touch of fall color to my look, and they're just as comfortable as my Attention boots.

Ask BB: Khloe K's Sequin Peplum Jacket Look for Less

Khloe Kardashian wore a Rag & Bone sequin jacket on X Factor. Can you help me find a look for less? —Natalie G.





Khloe's amaze-balls jacket by Rag & Bone is $655 at intermixonline.com. Now, I have some good news and some bad news.



First, the bad news. I searched high and low and couldn't find another sequin peplum jacket that even comes close to Khloe's.

Now for the good news! There are lots of other sequin jackets and blazers out there that will look just as chic this holiday sequins. Shall we?

To start, we have this Dorothy Perkins sequin jacket for $99.



My next favorite find is this Victoria's Secret sequin blazer. Love the blue. ($99)



Moving right along, I found this jacket at MANGO for $99. It's cropped but might look great paired with a peplum top. Think about it...



Finally, I'd stop by Forever 21 - they have a lot of sequin toppers like this bomber jacket under $30.



I would also head to H&M - I don't have any photos on hand but I was at a store last week and saw lots of glittery jackets and cardigans that would be perfect for you! xoBB

Have you found any amazing (and affordable) sequin blazers this season? Let Natalie know in the comments!
