Inspired by...Haute Hippie

Thank you very much to Lauren for sending me this inspired by find!

Haute Hippie's seamed zip pants retail for $325 at Shopbop.


Although they don't have the zipper detailing on the ankle, these Free People pants will give you that inspired by look as they have a similar seam detail as the Haute Hippie version. They seem to be sold out online but may be available in Free People stores. Click on the photo below for product information, and click here to find a Free People store.

Inspired by...Theory

Theory's Maritza B cardigan is on my "wish list", meaning I probably won't purchase it unless I find it somewhere on super sale at the end of the season. This gorgeous fall staple (at least it's a staple in my opinion!) retails for $275 at Shopbop.

Free People has a cardigan that reminded me of the Theory version (although this one is more of a sweatshirt material and actually zips up) so I thought I'd post it as an inspired by option. Click on the photo below to purchase it for $98 (also comes in black).
