Alexander McQueen on a Budget

Who can resist the everlasting charm of Alexander McQueen?…

… Apparently your wallet can if you don’t have the disposable income for a McQueen price tag, which is where Christian Siriano for Payless comes into play.

Same great features as the Alexander McQueen Hobnail Boot (from Spring 2011) and even more wearable with its popular reptile texture (at a fraction of the price) and just in time for Fall 2011.

Finding a suitable skull tee is no small task. You want that rocker-edge without resembling a sartorial mirror-image of the Pirates of the Caribbean.

McQueen gets it right in a Rope Skull T-Shirt for Menswear (Note: Shirt sizes in Menswear range one size larger than Womenswear), but why should guys have all the fun? Urban Outfitters understands the need for a ladies skull tee and offers a mesh backside for added sex appeal.

Just goes to show that great sense of style does not depend on the excess of money, but rather the need for a trained eye. As proven in the wardrobes of many reality-TV spin-offs of the Real Desperate Housewives, you can have millions of dollars in the bank and still look like a train-wreck.
