    i realize for journalistic purposes one would like to take this cleverly ployed advertisement as a literal 'how to' dress guide- in awe of the prices. but i'd like to look at it as more of a trend guide where you do your own 'the look for less' comparison while shopping. it's expected for her to display amazingly expensive things because it's her image and job... who REALLY expected her to be slinging Kohls handbags and Target tunics? they're as out of touch as they proclaim her to be.

    What nonsense!


    You can kill a hobo, skin him, tan his hide, and then sew it into a handsome vest for...what, eighty bucks?


    I don't know offhand, to be honest, but I can't imagine that it's that much.

    I have no idea why they didn't ask me for my summer must-haves. I have fashion sense! I like summer! Well, I don't care, here I go.


    - Maxi dresses, because they're cool, comfortable, and you don't have to shave your legs! $75 for 3 from either Target or Old Navy
    - Knit or cotton shorter dresses, because when you do get around to shaving your legs, you can show them off! Also see Target or Old Navy
    - Flip flops! $1 in a bin outside Michaels, for day
    - Jewelry, from Target or Cost Plus - probably about $50 for various items
    - One pair of heeled sandals, from wherever. Payless can work. These are on sale for $13. This can dress up your shorter dresses for evening.
    - Margaritas - depends on level of consumption.


    DONE.

    I'd like to see a thrift store shopper's version of this. Of course, Salvation Army would have to amp up its marketing campaign (from zilch to astronomical) to interest EW.

    @swashbuckling: Exactly. I'm a major bargain shopper (not fast-fashion, just great discounts on good stuff, thrift/vintage, etc.), and I'm DYING to do the "Look for Less" version of this.

    @anastasia beaverhousen: You're reminding me that in the Pottery Barn catalogue that I got yesterday, they were literally selling lengths of logs, on end, for tables/benches. For $199 and $299.


    I live in New England. I know where logs come from. Free logs.

    Sorry, Rachel Zoe. I'll buy that 50K wardrobe once I've saved enough for new running shoes, repayment of outstanding student loans, and that condo downtown I've had my eye on.

    When I saw this article in EW I was really hoping that I would have a chance to talk about it here. In the article, she calls the Alexis Bittar jewelry "fun and affordable." Um, to how many people are $400 earrings affordable? Tone deaf much?

    I didn't see anything about it being a "regular-woman" (what IS that??) wardrobe. She was putting together a must haves list.

    I just love Rachel Zoe.

    And her assistant.

    @greengrey (raidersofthelostSTAR): I agree, I don't think it was meant to be a "regular woman" list....but I never mind aspirational fashion, so maybe I am biased.

    @greengrey (raidersofthelostSTAR): true I just rather wished that i'd liked any of her must-haves but they were all a bit crap in my opinion. And sort of cheap looking which is odd given the prices.

    Folks, that is more than one year of expenses for graduate school (including living expenses, health insurance, books, fees, tuition and beer).


    My brain might have just exploded after realizing the implication of that comparison.

    You'd think for 50,000 some of that stuff would look less tacky.

    When it hits 100 degrees I love to throw on a pair of leather leggings and a metallic leather jacket. Nothing quite says "stay cool while looking cool" like head to toe leather.


    It goes best with my other summer "must have" of Secret clinical strength deoderant.
