 The Skirt

You won’t have a hard time finding a floor length red skirt online. We suggest this high-waisted button up skirt, because of it’s pleats and center slit. For a true Elena look, add a white underskirt to peak through the slit like Elena’s does in the show. This skirt is available at Lulus.com for $39. Pair it with the Express crop top for your costume, then pair it with a fitted top like the one pictured above for a fab every-day look.

The Belt

Elena cinches her gorgeous dress at the waist with a bold gold belt. One of the hottest trends in belts is the metal gold belt. We found this one on the ASOS website for $49. They also offer a thinner version for $35. It’s not cheap, but it’s our pick because it’s versatile, glamorous and bold. After Halloween, pair it with any simple dress to add sophistication and glamour. Looking for a more budget friendly option? Target offers a variety of belts ranging from $4 to $15.
