Fashion Face Off: Spring Fever

Outfit 1

Outfit 2
Know what the difference is between these 2 lovely spring outfits?
About $645.00.

Outfit 1: Anthropologie
$88 top
$88 skirt
$380 shoes
$168 bracelet
[$724]

Outfit 2: Charlotte Russe
$14 top
$24 skirt
$36.50 shoes
$4 bracelet
[$78.50]

To be honest, I actually prefer the look of the cheaper Charlotte Russe version!

I'll be posting these little fashion face offs from time to time! It always baffles me when I see people spending such outrageous amounts of money on clothing when they could be spending significantly less on something very similar. If you just look around a little, it's out there! So, hopefully I can convince some of you to be better bargain shoppers! It's worth it! Think of what you could do with $645.(If nothing else, you could buy 8 other full outfits!)
I know some of you are thinking, "I would never spend $725 on one outfit", & that's true of most people, I hope. However, I'm sure there are many of us who will splurge on one piece, right? Well a big splurge an outfit adds up! Save your money, lady cakes... there are better things you could be doing with it :)

    So true, my love! Every now and then I will splurge on one item, but not very often. And Anthro is soooo expensive, but their sale rack is awesome! You can find good brands at discounted prices if you just dig around a little. Love you, pretty face!

    Super cute outfits!! Love both of the shoes but I think the 1st pair would be easier for me to walk in, taken the heel into consideration. I don't do skinny heels. I prefer the fat heel. That's if I want to be able to walk :O)

    Great choices!!!

    Love this post! The CR shoes are so dang cute! I love the Anthro skirt but you're right - not worth the cost difference!

    Oh I love this idea! The CR outfit is by far my fave of the two. I might have to get that bracelet! Love it.
