Wow, this Petite Fashion Challenge was hard! Hosted by the wonderful blog Petite Little Girl, this month’s challenge was “The Look For Less”. We had to pick a celeb style icon, and recreate one of her looks “for less”. So, here we go…
My celeb style icon is not a huge celebrity, but she is kinda a celebrity in the fashion world. Her name is Miroslava Duma, and she is a petite powerhouse in the Russian fashion scene. A former editor for Russian Harper’s Bazaar, and now free lance fashion writer, she is a fixture at fashion shows, and her styling prowess gets photographed by The Sartorialist fairly often. Swoon!
Needless to say, this chick wears designer, and she wears it well. I could die happy with just one day to roll around in her wardrobe.
The look I choose was photographed by The Sartorialist, and I just so happened to save this photo in my “Fashion Inspiration” file on my computer a long time ago. After studying the look, I dove into my closet to see what I could come up with.
Ick. Bad camera angle. Where’s Scott Schuman when you need him?
The only item that’s not quite “for less” is my Burberry coat, but considering it’s probably way cheaper than what Miroslava is wearing (my guess is some kind of cashmere), I guess it kinda is. =P
I’m not sure if this look works for me. It needs some tweaks for sure, like better shoes and handbag, so maybe I’ll be feeling it more after a few more wardrobe additions. But, I’m glad I did tinker with another way to wear my new petite-friendly H&M lace skirt.

ahhhh LOVE!
Great job on re-creating the look! Very similar indeed.
Omg, as soon as I saw the inspiration photo I already envisioned your version. That inspiration outfit was calling your name. Great find and great rendition!!!
I love Miroslava Duma's style too, I read through an entire thread on her on the purseblog forum once and was thoroughly impressed. I actually saved your inspiration picture too though I could never bring myself to pay for Prada RTW. You did a great job replicating the look, everything looks just as expensive as MD's outfit.
(Your link for "Miroslava Duma" leads to the Google page!!)
Wow, your outfit is almost identical to hers!! Great job :D

Amazing job recreating Miroslava Duma's look! I'm kicking myself now for not getting that H&M skirt now when you put it up for sale on the forum. It looks too cute!!

Wow. Love the look of the lacy cardigan with the button up. i didn't notice how awesome your cardigan from the review post was until I saw it here. Great job! I have a lacy tank that I might try to wear with a colored button up. Thanks for the idea.
