Cheap Chic - Bargain Hunting

[jaimediane71]

I absolutely LOVE this style of shoe...anyone seen something similar, but for less than $140?? Unfortunately that is too much for my budget...and I would never pay that for a pair of Steve Maddens, anyway!

I guess I kind of answered my own question...what do you all think about these? They're on sale for $59.99:

(ninewest.com)

and just to keep the thread going...

I bought this last week to wear for St. Patrick's day:

(forever21.com)

It's definitely a knock-off of this dress from Nieman Marcus:

(niemanmarcus.com)

But mine was like $25...compared to $335!

^ XXI is great for dresses...

But I went in there a couple of weeks ago and saw nothing I liked too much.

I've been wanting this dress from Delia's for a while:

$49.50

but I just found an almost identical one at Target!
http://www.target.com/Moss-Floral-P...ie=UTF8&node=16338481&frombrowse=1&rh=&page=1
for only $22.99

Good find, and dare I say I like Target's version better then Delias'?

 

[GannetGuts]

Oh wow, Aussie Target got a verrrrry similar one in this summer. I think it's on drastic sale atm. Not that that helps you all that much!

I love this bag/tote, it's only 10.80!!

Forever21, all under $32.00

^ I love the green patent leather bag... but I just bought a F21 bag and it broke after about 3 uses so right now I'm hesitant to spend even the $32 it costs!

^^ I just bought the croc oversized clutch! That's a great find b/c Urban Outfitters used to have / has a very similar one that was a tad more expensive. I also bought the Luella inspired skirt :K

 

[L0VE]

^ I was going to say that, I thought it looked familiar, lol. Good buy =).

 

[jaimediane71]

yes, the oversized croc clutch at UO is on sale for like $40 right now I think. I'm considering the F21 one but I can't make up my mind!

I love my new bag and it looks real (no one can tell it's fake python, because it actually has texture and feels like real snake). So with this $10 off coupon it comes out to 26.00 bucks with shipping =)!!! I had people thinking it was massive amounts (lol and the look on their faces when they find out the real price, is priceless). It's also huge and roomy (I actually throw clothing in the one part and drinks and stuff and still, I had room in it). It looks better in real life, btw. (My camera isn't working so I can't take photos.) Alloy.com has some really nice stuff and this website has amazing deals/coupons.

How does alloy's shoe sizes run?

 

[Missivtec22]

Ohh i like that first dress alot

How does alloy's shoe sizes run?

I've purchased a couple pairs from Alloy and found their sizing average. True to size, for the most part.

 

[L0VE]

Ohh i like that first dress alot

I love it too =), it seems like a great spring dress.

How does alloy's shoe sizes run?

I haven't brought shoes from them but I know they sell Michael Antonio shoes and I have a pair and they run exact to size. I'm a 9, 91/2 in real high heels (4 1/2 inch and up) and they only had a 10 left in these 5 inch heels and I wanted them so bad. But they actually fit pretty good and aren't falling off or clunking when I walk. If your unsure, I'd get maybe a 1/2 to a another inch up. I'm an 8 1/2 usually (some stores run small, so I can be a 9 (or 91/2) at times depending on the heel) but when it comes to ordering online, I always try to go with a safe 1/2 or inch up. (I made the mistake of ordering sneakers before online and they ran small. I now have to give about 4 brand new pairs to my sister because they don't fit.)
