Ever wish you could get an amazing summer teen fashion designer outfit without needing a designer budget? Well, you can! Okay, so you can’t get the EXACT look. Designer clothes have nuances, labels and certain elements that are exclusively theirs. So while you may not be able to duplicate the belt buckle on, say, a Tory Burch belt, you can get a very similar look without spending a fortune.

For example, if you have a really cute pair of shorts that just don’t match anything else, the white top would work with those as well. Maybe you have a comfy outfit that’s a little on the dull side? Dress it up with the scarf! You can stretch your budget and your wardrobe further if you mix and match!

Wow what a difference in price! That’s crazy. I like the cheaper one better too.
Great finds! I would think longer shorts or a skirt would be better but then again, I’m not a teen. 🙂 looks fabulous!
Oh wow, it’s almost the same, but the gap on the price is way too big. No one would even notice that you’re wearing the budget outfit.
Those are some great cheaper options! You must have a sixth sense for finding great similar items at a discount!
I have to admit that I am a fan of the TB Brand but the inspired look is just as trendy. The leopard print shoe, the gold accessories against the neutral shorts and classic white tank is a great look for a festival or casual evening out.
I love that you can get all of the inexpensive pieces at places like Target. Makes them far more accessible to people like me who don’t even have a Nordstrom nearby. Plus the price difference is just staggering! I think the cheaper outfit is adorable!
Love the belt and shorts. Hard to know what to put together. This combo would be great for my tall self!
That’s a tremendous looking outfit! I would love to try it on myself. I think it is just my style!
My daughter would die for this outfit! I know that she would love to have it for herself. I will have to show her this post!
The less look is still a bit much for me but I love how you basically got the same look for not even 10% of the price. Great job. Plus everything is coming from Nordstroms so you know it’s quality.
The less expensive outfit looks great! That’s so neat you were able to find deals like that. I know plenty of people who could use this tip for their kids.
The price difference on these outfits is crazy! I love to shop at Target they always have great prices and sales and the clothes are high quality. I love the flats you picked out they are adorable.
Wow what a huge difference in price for an equally as cute outfit! This is a great summer look, you have a great eye for fashion! Thanks for sharing and helping us all to save some money.
I LOVE the second outfit so much more than the first! And I definitely need to pick up that scarf. It’s insane how much some people will charge for 24 inches of fabric!
I am in LOVE with these summer teen fashions in black and brown. Right now my 14 year old niece is here for the summer on a visit and they are all something she would love. Best of all they are designer looks for less!
These are great finds! Thank you for highlighting all of these options for affordable style. With a teen girl in the house, anything we can save on clothes is a huge help to our budget.
Wow what a difference in price, can’t tell the difference between the two!
