Deep Red & Blue Trend (for less!)

I have been perusing Polyvore looking for outfits that I really like and noticing some trends. I found two trends that I really like. I will show you one today and the other one another time.

I kept seeing outfits with a gorgeous red on top and jeans on the bottom. I love the outfits, the colors and the style. Of course most of the sets had at least one element that was expensive.

Pinterest users, just like in my last Polyvore post, please click on the link below the outfit and pin from the original source. Please do not pin from this post, unless you are pinning my outfit (which is the last outfit).
To see any of the sources on the sets, click on the link below the set. This will take you to Polyvore where you will be able to see the sources, prices and click away!

Red & White Beachy by pbmhuck featuring a canvas tote

I love the red, and the blue together. Love the big bag…it all looks so summery and beachy to me. The clothing part of this outfit is not too bad as far as price. The watch and sunglasses are not so reasonable.

That smell of summer by mizrose featuring platform shoes

Love this summer beach set! So cute and the colors….love them! For the sweater, shoes and that cute flower bracelet…a little over $500!

Weekend Casual by styleofe featuring regular fit jeans

This set is actually a reasonable price. Love that big bag and the red!

Movie with the Girls by leebee11 featuring nine west handbags

I saved my absolute favorite for last! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this set! I love the colors, the accessories and the style. It fits my style. However, the total cost for everything pictured is $1655.42!!! Holy expensive outfit! I could never afford it even though I totally love it.

I decided to make my own outfit using the red and blue trend and heavily trying to recreate my favorite outfit. (In full disclosure, I just do this for fun. If you click on links or buy things from any of these sites, I don’t get paid a dime.)

Total cost for my outfit is $144. Quite a deal from the $1600+ of my favorite outfit. Of course, you probably already have jeans, so you could easily save $40 from the total cost right there.

I found a top that does not have same the details as the one in my favorite outfit, but it does have the same type of look and feel to it. I love the purse I picked to go with this outfit. In fact, I like it so much I ordered it recently in a deal on Zulily! The bracelet is from a shop on etsy. I love the fabric bangles…so pretty and since they use jean material, they go really well with the whole outfit. To me, it looks like a fun outfit to wear for a day out and about.

I hope you like it! Enjoy your day!
