While the GUESS gem is constructed out of pleated cotton and embellished with fluttering lace sleeves, as opposed to the cotton/silk blend that makes up the Joie jewel; for $69.00, in comparison to the $152.00 required to take Joie home, it is every bit as magnificent as its high-end counterpart – and leaves a bit of spare change over for you to splurge on a haute new handbag!
Is today the day for you to please the big spender within; or will you play it cool and be thrifty?
Fashionably yours!

I saw something similar to this on sale at H&M the other day. Except it was a dress. It was so cute. Now after seeing this post I regret not buying it!

loving the lace x
ReplyDeleteAs you maybe know this by now, with my teacher's salary I cannot be a big spender... But luckily one can enjoy fashion with tighter means alike. This is what my outfit posts are about as well. Fortunately, the GUESS item looks non-the-less classier than the expensive one.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Erika, for you friendship and your always encouraging words! You are one of the sweetest bloggers I have come across and I just enjoy so much being blog pals. Hopefully one day we'll make it to the same place, same city. We'll have a glass of champagne and just talk our time away.
Sweetest of hugs to you dear Erika!
The Joie is actually much prettier...I love the detail around the neckline. I'd buy it. ;)
