Now that I’m freelancing and looking for new work in new places (stay tuned), I’m more conscious of money than ever.  As a lover and blogger of fashion and beauty, it’s my job to style new outfits, stay up to date on trends and products, and bring you fresh content.  But this can be difficult when I’m not making as much money as I used to, and need to focus more on saving than on spending.

To that end, I’ve rounded up a couple It-pieces and their affordable-but-chic counterparts!

 

Kenneth Cole ($120) vs. Forever21 ($20) slides

 

MISA Los Angeles ($238) vs. Zara ($50) top

 

Nannacay ($249) vs. Glamorous ($45) tote

 

The Great ($325) vs. Monki ($40) dress

Sol Sana ($) vs. Forever21 ($25) mules

 

Laura Lombardi ($150) vs. BaubleBar ($28) hoops

 

Solid & Striped ($168) vs. South Beach ($45) swimsuit

Raye ($180) vs. Topshop ($100) mules

Happy shopping!  Love, Me
