The Best Fall Shoes under $100

Fall 2015 Boots for Under $100 by lookexpensive featuring ankle boots

Fall is coming. This means it is time to cliche it up and get something pumpkin-flavored and update your fall wardrobe. The first things I usually get for Fall include new shoes, scarves, hats, and jackets. I live in a pretty warm state, so I can usually put the Fall ritual off for a little while, but I know many of my readers only have a month of Summer weather left. This month I will list a some Fall staple pieces, and today I am going to provide a list of Fall shoes for under $100.

What I think is really interesting are the new Fall shoe trends that I am seeing pop up. One of my favorite trends are the metallic-looking boots, and one of my least favorites are the velvet and fur covered boots. Some great Fall 2015 shoe styles are the chunky heel boot, the wedged heel boot, the knee-high boots, the multi-colored boots, and the metal heels!

Luckily for us there are a gazillion online stores that offer all of these great Fall 2015 shoe fashions for only a fraction of the cost. Some of my favorite stores include boohoo.com, nordstromrack.com, 6pm.com, and charlotterusse.com. If you are cool with waiting a few weeks, romwe.com and shein.com usually have a few good boots to choose from as well.

Here are my favorite Fall 2015 shoe finds for under $100:

KRISTINA TI Shoe boots • $98

Circus by Sam Edelman 'Holt' Bootie (Women) • $99.95

Soda Double-Belted Chunky Heel Booties • $40.99

Steal Taylor Swift's Parisian Style

Whether you love her or not, Taylor Swift always looks like she stepped off a movie set in Paris. If she isn't wearing a tucked-in striped shirt, she is wearing some impossibly beautiful summer dress, or an outfit with 3-inch shorts. And then no matter what she is wearing, she has perfect red lipstick.

Her look is easy to pull off, and it doesn't have to be expensive at all. The picture below can be replicated easily and affordably. Also, sorry about the grainy picture. The internet was not kind to me today :/

The look I built today only costs $145, and the main expense are the shoes. My flat shoes tend to see the most wear, as I usually choose them when I need to walk a lot. So I think putting a little extra cash into your feet isn't such a bad idea:

As always, please let me know which style icons you want to steal!

Steal A Spoonful of Style's Casual Look

One of my favorite fashion bloggers is A Spoonful of Style. I have purchased countless shoes at her suggestion, because they always just look perfect on her. However, I am a cheapface, and I usually just scan ebay for a used and much-cheaper pair of the same shoes.

I also love her because she has a mix of casual and dressy outfits. Today she posted a very casual outfit that I absolutely adore, because despite the casual look, she still looks very put together and expensive!

Today's style is shown here:

Army Green Outfit by A Spoonful of Style

This style is perfect, but at the cost of $3,000, I have to find a cheaper version. I have found similar matches here:

Steal Spoonful of Style's Look for $145 by lookexpensive featuring a wayfare

Charlotte Russe white top / Henry & Belle straight jeans / Red Kiss nude pumps / MANGO zippered tote / ALDO watch / Forever 21 chain bracelet / Forever 21 bracelet jewelry / Glance Eyewear wayfare

The total of my finds comes to $145, meaning you can buy the lipstick you've been eyeing at Sephora.

As always, let me know if there is a certain look you want to see. I am always up for finding the best deals that make us look expensive.

Steal Atlantic // Pacific's Stunning Look

Remember when big hats starting edging their way back into mainstream fashion? I do. And I was terrified.

I bought one of my first felt hats from Nordstrom Rack, proud of myself for being almost fashion forward. But when it actually came time to wear the hat in public, I felt really self conscious. Obviously I got over that feeling, but it did take some time. Now I find hats to be one of my staples, and I think they can really complete or change a look.

In the past few days, Atlantic // Pacific posted an outfit, with her wearing a simple jumpsuit with a Royal Ascot-worthy hat. I knew right away that I needed that outfit. So I looked up each piece of clothing, and it came to over $4,000. I personally want the look for quite a bit less, so I created my own Atlantic // Pacific look.

How do you guys feel about hats? Only for bad hair days, or do you rock them?

Steal Spencer Hasting's Look

Some TV shows always have the best styles. Revenge, Gossip Girl, Sex and the City, and Glee have always been fashion inspirations for me, but my go-to fashion inspiration TV show is Pretty Little Liars. Even if you do not watch the show, you have to admit each character has a unique fashion sense that puts most TV show characters to shame.

You can always go see what characters are wearing for each episode on websites like wornontv.net, and they often have links to where you can buy the outfits' exact matches. Pretty Little Liars characters usually wear a $1,000 outfit, but I can usually find a comparable match for less than $200.

Pretty Little Liar's character, Spencer Hastings, has a very preppy style, and I always want to raid her wardrobe. Since that sadly impossible, I found an outfit that fits her style rather well. In Season 5, Episode 3, Spencer wears disparate patterns that come together in a very modern look, as shown below:

From WornOnTV.Net

This perfectly preppy look is perfect for work, school, or eating out with friends, but Spencer's exact outfit costs over $200. Instead of laying down the big bucks, you can get a similar look for only $175.

Spencer Hastings Style: $175 on Polyvore

As always, tell me me if there is a certain look you want to see, and I will make sure it gets on here.

The Innocent Tea-Time Look

We all have our favorite fashion bloggers. They inspire us and make us drool over new outfits and shoes. My personal favorite thing to watch for when I open a new fashion blogger's page is her shoe choices. I wear a US size 4, which means my choice of shoes is limited to brands that do well in Asia and shoes from the kids section. Although I find it kind of cool that I can fit into Disney Princess light up shoes, I would rather find any of my favorite heels in my size.

One blogger that always has the best shoes is The Viva Luxury. Her outfits always look very high-end and beautiful, but they are also way out of my price range. So today I created an outfit that channels her latest look with similar, but more affordable pieces.

Feel free to be impressed by her flawless look and compare it to my finds.

The Viva Luxury

VivaLuxury on the Cheap

Viva Luxury's outfit costs over $4,000. The outfit linked to Polyvore only costs $130, including the Essie nail polish! If you don't have $4,000 to spend quite yet, then take a look at these items and channel this exquisite, tea-time look.

Please always let me know if there is a fashion inspiration you have, and I would be happy to post a similar outfit. After all, don't we all want to look as expensive as our fashion icons do?

Look Expensive While Paying Next to Nothing

I have always loved fashion, but trying to dress like a model in Elle or the most stylist celebrities can be really expensive. As a broke college student, I rummaged through who knows how many thrift store racks in hopes of finding that perfect, affordable outfit. Unfortunately, a lot of times when you try to find cheaper clothing, you end up looking cheap.

Now that I have the benefit of the internet and a plethora of budget-friendly online shops, I have been helping my friends find cheaper matches to the best styles you see on TV, in the magazines, and fashion blogs. This has helped my friends and I from looking like we have cheap outfits, even though we aren't breaking the bank on any of our clothes.

From here on out I will find the most current outfits that you find on all the best fashionistas, and I will post the exact match for under $150. This means the clothes, the bag, the shoes, and the jewelry will all cost less than $150.
