Lacroix_couture_1 Christian Lacroix Couture Fall 2006

This undeniably gorge Lacroix look is also undeniably expensive...house-payment-&-then-some expensive.  So the key is to break the look down, and replicate the key components: fluffly black sweater jacket, swingy black crinoline dress, jaunty red bow belt, cobalt tights & blue embellished boots. 

Here are some great options for this look from the house of Chez Budget that are as high on style as they are low on price:
