Broke the bank or look for less?

All of the fashionistas of the world have been guilty at one time or another of spending too much.  However these days with the help of improved technology and mass production in China we are able to score the same degree of chic for a much cheaper price.  Look at these examples and you decide whether I my credit card was in pain after the purchase, or I had money for dinner afterwards.

Steve Madden Platform Pumps

     

Could you decide which is the splurge? If you chose the one on the right you were correct.  The shoes on the right retail at $110 and are Steve Madden.  The shoes on the left (mine) are only $30 and from TJ Maxx which is one of my secret hot spots for designers deals.  

The next great fashion accessory is HAIR.  Today it is not uncommon to see stars and college student to being wearing fake hair.  Celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Britney Spears usually can be known to have their sewn or glued in which can be very costly.  A cheap alternative to this is a do-it-yourself clip in extension.  Now I'm sure you can tell the difference between the next two pictures but I promise when done the CORRECT way clip in extensions can look just as fabulous and at a fraction of the cost!
