Expensive VS. Cheap(Smart)

These are just a couple of items that I have really wanted to buy for some time now, and their original prices are just ridiculous for my current lifestyle. There is just no way a college student can afford a $1,600 bag unless its like a gift or something. But anyways I walked into Steve Madden the other day when walking out of the gym and saw those leopard loafers and instantly thought Kanye West wearing Christian Louboutin. First they are well in my budget and second they are too cute and are actually more wearable then the originals because the studded style will eventually fade, but classic leopard flats have longevity.

I am infatuated with anything Lace and Jersey Knit, you know like gray sweatpants material. A pencil skirt is a good thing to have for job interviews, special occasions, etc. The original 3.1 Phillip Lim skirt I wanted to get when it was on sale, but of course it was sold out. The BB Dakota skirt is almost identical except for some minor details, but hello its like over 80% the original's price so I might just get that baby come pay day on Friday.

And finally the most talked about bag this week the Proenza Schouler PS1. This bag has had so much popularity lately that even Target knocked it off after just collaborating with Proenza Schouler for the second time. I'm not even going to get into if it was ethical of Target to copy Proenza Schouler's bag right after releasing its second collection, but hey its nice bag that comes in multiple colors. They do say imitation is truly the sincerest form of flattery.
