Runway to Real Way: Ralph Lauren Spring 2010

Sure, staring at runway shots is fun, but when it comes to turning that into a real life outfit? Not so easy. That’s where “Runway to Real Way” comes in!

We’ll take one outfit and recreate it (or something like it… because not everything on the runway is wearable for everyday life), offering you a new look that will cost hundreds less than the trendy option!

Here’s our first take: a shot from the Ralph Lauren Spring/Summer 2010 Runway Show. As runway outfits go, this one is relatively easy to wear, and won’t require total recreation… just a little creativity!

Hollister.com: La Jolla Cove Button Down ($40)
Forever 21: Cuffed Blazer ($22.80)
Buckle.com: Big Star Boyfriend Jeans ($118)
Aldo: HELOM Shoes ($39.98)
Diesel: Felox Hat ($18.00)

Total Cost: $238.78

By keeping the prices low, you can get a full outfit, including shoes and a super cute hat, for under $250… a small percentage of the runway style next to it!

Make your own twists to it by adding accessories, carrying a brightly colored handbag, spicing up your makeup or even trying a new manicure/pedicure color! The options are virtually endless, so there’s no need to worry about looking stale in this outfit.
