Look-a-Likes for Less: Brocade Style

I love this Brocade mood board from Style.com!  I'm not much for unattainable fashion but sometimes its nice too look and see what's "hot".
I really love the detail on these Nicholas Kirkwood shoes.  Call me crazy but wouldn't they look great peeking out of a high-low hem wedding dress?

I also liked this floral print jaquard dress with that cute gathered neckline detail.  It would make a cute bridesmaid dress!

Of course I can't just leave you drooling over these overpriced goods so here are some look-a-likes for less (keeping in mind of course that these are not exact look-a-likes but mimic the look and feel of the "brocade" inspiration pieces above):

Cute pink metallic brocade sling-backs with jeweled detail.

A more subtle nude lace version but they still have that rich, romantic feeling and the dominating floral motif.

This purple and grey brocade dress with pleated skirt has a much more palatable price tag.

Okay, at $550, this little number isn't exactly affordable.  But considering the original inspiration piece is $1290 (on sale mind you) it is definitely a look-a-like for less.

This last one is a bit different since it is a mock two-piece dress but it is probably my favorite of the bunch.  I like it for bridesmaids and a sleek city hall wedding in San Fransisco or some big metropolitan city.
