Look For Less: Man Repeller

If you don't know who the Man Repeller is, you've been living under the interweb rock for too long.

The Man Repeller is a fashion blog that is run by 22-year-old Leandra Medine who is everything one could wish to be as a fashion blogger - stylish, a runway show mainstay, and undeniably cool. Her blog won the 2011 BlogLovin' award for Most Original Blog - as if you needed any more reason to check her out.

More and more she has been recognized and photographed on the street by photographers big and small. I even saw her get hounded down outside the Prabal Gurung SS12 runway show.

Since Leandra is someone I look up to so much style wise, I decided to choose her as my first "Look For Less" article. Here, she wears a trench by Gryphon (~$400), Joe's Jeans (~$169), Alaia shoes (~$500), and an unbranded button-down. If you can't do math, let me do it for you... That's about $1069 for one outfit. I don't know about you but there is no way I could ever afford that.

Don't fret though! I'm here to give you an outfit that looks similar for one-third the cost. If I were to recreate this fall-worthy ensemble I would try DKNY's "Dakota" trench for $119, Tripp NYC leopard jeans for $66, Asos' Hide Away Velvet Wedge for $83, Quicksilver's Highlands plaid shirt for $64. Now you can be as stylish as the Man Repeller.
