Splurge vs. Save: Patterned Leggings!

by Sarah 13. August 2009 03:25

As much as many people wish the leggings trend would just vanish, it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Quite the contrary, really, it seems leggings, especially patterned ones, are going to be big for fall and perhaps even through the winter. The eighties has been back in a big way, especially on the Fall 2009 runways - so it's no surprise that this party girl trend doesn't want to leave.

American Apparel is, of course, the go-to brand for patterned leggings. We're crushing on these babies.   But at $42 a pop, getting a variety of patterns isn't exactly affordable. Enter cheap and chic favorite Forever21. They've jumped on the leggings bandwagon in a big way, with a variety of patterns available! Check out these groovy ones, or these black and white ones for just $9.80. Why spend over $40 when you can spend under $10?

Splurge...Then Save!

Office Chic

by Christine 24. March 2009 07:09
This outfit is a perfect ensemble for the office as the spring and summer months (slowly) begin to approach. And, when shopping for classic pieces that you will most likely wear to work, I always like to splurge on one main item that I can wear with many different things, such as a simple yet chic Theory skirt like the one above. It is now $120 down from $20, which is still a considerable amount of money, but you can easily balance this out by saving on affordable accesories and inexpensive tops. For instance, seeing that the skirt is the more pricier item, aim for accent pieces that are $20 or $30 and under. The cute tie-neck blouse is only $18 down from $40, the cuff is $20 down from $34 and the shoes, clutch and belt are all under $30! So in my opinion, by splurging in one area and saving in others, it all evens out quite nicely! And, a tip to keep in mind when shopping for more expensive items, make sure it will go with at least five items that you already own in your closet. That way you know it will be a sure bet!
