Doppelganger

May 31, 2012

Merriam-Websters’ Dictionary defines ‘doppelganger‘ as “someone who looks like someone else.”

For kicks I decided to find some famous (fashion wise) doppelgangers for my shop items at The Curvy Elle Shop! What I mean by this is: I found fashion apparel items that are currently being sold at retailers that look similar to my items I am selling.

I wanted to prove to those girls out there that think they can never look the part, afford, or fit in designer brands, that you can still look the part at any size or any price point!

The dress on the left is the “Maggie” dress by Reiss, which retails for $425 and is only available for sizes 0-10. My dress is a Vintage Plus Size Cream Colored Dress that I am currently selling for $26.00.

The jacket on the left is the Colton Drape Lapel Jacket” by Alice + Olivia which retails for $795 and is available in sizes XS-L. My version is a Plus Size Vintage Over-Sized Turquoise Open Front Dolmen Sleeve Blazer which I am selling for $24.00.

This is a plaid/gingham skirt called “Taos Plaid Maxi Skirt” by Michael Kors. It retails for $2,995 and is available in sizes 2-12. The skirt that I am selling is a Plus Size Vintage Plaid Pleated Midi Skirt is a Size 14 and I am selling it for $19.00.

This Lanvin “Boucle Tweed Jacket” retails for $4,425 and is available in sizes 2-10.  My version is a Plus Size Vintage White Bouclé Open Front Jacket  in Size 16 that I am selling for a mere $24.00.

Pleats! What a Coincidence?!

I had to post this, it made me laugh. All day today Modcloth kept posting picture of pleated skirts on their tumblr. Looks very similar to a little perwinkle skirt  and a cute plaid number I’m selling on The Curvy Elle Shop! Take a look at this!

Now take a look at the skirt I’m selling:

Not to mention this plaid one:

And one that I recently sold:

In the fashion world, I think we are very soon going to be de-PLEATED!!! Pun totally intended!!! Before that happens, all you plus size girls out there–you might want to think about ordering that cute little periwinkle skirt or that fun plaid one! I have for sale before I run out! *wink, wink*
