Alaïa's the Goal, But the Budget Is $150—31 Nordstrom and Zara Items That'll Do

You can't see from this photo, but this $79 dress features a built-in tie belt that'll cinch your waist like the best Alaïa dresses always do.
I'm a sucker for a cuff bracelet, especially when it's paired with a simple black turtleneck.
Alaïa's Mary Janes are not only quite pricey, but they're also impossible to get your hands on. This $89 alternative, however, is fully in-stock and only $89.
If it's not black, it has to be a neutral autumnal shade like this one. Plus, I'm obsessed with halters at the moment.
The big shoulders on this jacket make it feel so much more elevated than a traditional trucker style.
The delicate tailoring at the waist makes this a must-buy poplin shirt.
If you can't currently drop $1480 on Alaïa's shockingly gorgeous La Cage heels, this $50 pair will get you a similar look.
The zipper closure on this dress makes it more versatile.
As tight and edgy as Alaïa's pieces can be, there's always room in the collections for a poplin piece or two.
Alaïa's partially responsible for the growing halter-top trend.
The studs on these heeled sandals have me completely smitten.
No one does affordable body-con dresses quite as well as Skims.
I can't think of a single reason why we all shouldn't buy this belt. It'll only bring us happiness.
Perfect for a wedding, a cocktail party, or a dressy brunch.
My finger is hovering dangerously close to the purchase button.
This top should be in your closet even if you're not trying to get the Alaïa look.
Pair this skirt with a fitted bodysuit and a big belt.
