Back in 2007 Mary-Kate Olsen stepped out on the red carpet to see Antony Micallef’s “Impure Idols” LA show debut and I was madly in love with her head-to-toe getup: the quilted leather jacket, the tousled out-of-bed hair and of course her black Balenciaga gladiator wedges. This is rocker meets uptown chic at its best. See my budget-friendly take on MK’s outfit below.

So I absolutely adore this double-breasted wool coat by Stella McCartney. It is my ideal coat! The tailoring is exquisite as is the wool felt the coat is made out of. But as usual style and quality come at a price; in this case the price is as high as $2.495. Not exactly my kind of shopping budget. But since having a good coat is essential in the winter I tried to find an affordable yet stylish alternative.

ASOS Wool Metal Button Full Skirted Coat
While this wool coat by ASOS doesn’t have the same fine texture as the Stella McCartney coat I still love how similar it is to the original. The coat comes in 3 colors: camel (pictured), black and pink.

Alexander McQueen‘s Fall 2009 collection was pretty much quintessential McQueen. Part macabre Rocky Horror Picture Show, part British Elegance meets Perfect Tailoring. My feelings towards this collection were mixed and the clown make-up HORRIFIED me, but I found myself adoring a few of the presented pieces. Houndstooth was a key element in McQueen’s fall designs and the jacket below was part of my favorite McQueen ensemble from that collection.

BB Dakota “The Cibbs” Winter Coat

While this winter coat by BB Dakota isn’t strictly a knockoff, I’d say it’s at least inspired by the Alexander McQueen jacket above. I instantly fell in love with this coat and McQueen’s Fall 2009 collection was the first thing that came to my mind when I first saw it. It’s a timeless, feminine coat & ultra cute, too (the buttons, the belt, the voluminous hem *swoon*). Oh, and the price isn’t too shabby either for such a versatile fall/winter key item.

The jacket is by BB Dakota and retails for affordable 63.99! Better be fast and place your order soon as I predict the jacket will sell out quickly. Good luck!
