My loves, in the left corner we have the blissfully sparkling style that is BCBGMAXAZRIA’s Stretch Sequined Skirt; to the right prepare to inhale the glittering aroma that is Charlotte Russe’s Sequined Pencil Skirt.While the chichi Charlotte creation lacks the horizontal seam detailing of the breathtaking BCBGMAXAZRIA piece, and features an elastic waistband as opposed to the concealed side zip of its haute couture counterpart; for a mere $29.50, in comparison to the $268.00 needed to bask in the body-hugging aesthetic of the BCBGMAXAZRIA stunner, it is every bit as capable of making you twinkle and shine – at a fraction of the cost!
Which role have you decided to undertake on this sultry Sunday, kittens? Tightwad or spendthrift?
Fashionably yours!

In LOVE! I need to get this ASAP! (Probably the more affordable version for me!)
ReplyDeletePerfect party skirt! I love the longer length on Charlotte Russe.
ReplyDeletei think the shape of the charlotte russe one looks more flattering.. so tightwad, definitely!
ReplyDeleteThis is freaking fantastic; you know how I love anything sequined! I love the bandage detail on the BCBG.

I've quite honestly been wanting a sequined skirt like this! I personally prefer the BCBG one, though for that price, the Charlotte Russe one would definitely do. ♥

Great second skirt <3
ReplyDeleteI like the Russe one better!

This right here is why I love Charlotte Russe. I'm not going to wear a sequin skirt every day so a cheaper option is just fine. I would totally go with the Charlotte Russe! I'm been really into their store lately, it feels a little classier than my wet seal.

I like the Charlotte Russe skirt a lot better than the BCBG one. Though this isn't generally something I would pick up, maybe I can mix it up and check out the Charlotte Russe skirt for a stand-out outfit!
ReplyDeleteI'd feel more comfortable in the cheaper version..for so many reasons.
ReplyDeleteOh I would go for the stretchy one.
ReplyDeletelove those sequined skirts !
ReplyDeleteI love that the Charlotte Russe one is so affordable. I think I may go out and get it for NYE.
ReplyDeleteGotta say, I prefer the BCBG one in this case (it's just so perfectly shaped and fitted and shiny and I love the wide waistband!), but it's a pretty close comparison! Happy holidays Miss Erika :)
ReplyDeleteI love them both babe!Hope you had a lovely wknd Mwah xx
ReplyDeleteI love them both babe!Hope you had a lovely wknd Mwah xx
ReplyDeleteThe BCBG skirt looks a bit more chic and detailed but on my budget, hunny, I would definetly be buying the Charlotte Russe skirt. As matter of fact, I'll be ordering that off of CharlotteRusse.com soon if it's in stock lol. Great post!

Hmm, if it were in my budget, I'd definitely get the BCBG one! But for the price, the Charlotte Russe is fab, too.
ReplyDeleteI totally blogged this too last week! I swear, the skirts are the same!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike!

I prefer the styling of the Charlotte Russe. It's a bit longer, and I like the lines of it better, so Charlotte it is for me today ...
ReplyDeletethis is a no brainer! charlotte russe :)
ReplyDeleteBoth are lovely and I have missed you darling Erika! I love sequins!!
ReplyDeleteI saw that skirt in Charlotte Rusee the other day. It is so cute!
ReplyDeletebeautiful piece. oh on the cheap for me.
ReplyDeleteOh lets go for the cheap one!
ReplyDeleteSuch an amazing skirt. And one for the budget too. Even better.
ReplyDeleteOh yes this is definitely a sunday steal, i love the panelling on the BCBG skirt!
ReplyDeleteI'm really into sequin skirts during the holiday season. I don't mind the CR one, minus the elastic waist band...it made look a little cheap. The BCBG one is great and looks like it would be more flattering. However, considering I would probably wear a sequin skirt a handful of times, I'd definitely opt for a much cheaper version!
ReplyDeleteBoth look good, so I'd go with either. BCBG does seem to be shinier, and more glam.

The budget version looks great!

Sequin skirts are perfect for the Christmas time!! I love the BCBG MAXAZRIA one!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, I adore both of these skirts. I would go for the thrifty option here.
ReplyDeleteBoth are pretty. I like the bandage-style of the BCBG version.
ReplyDeleteOMG I must go to Charlotte Russe STAT!!

ReplyDeleteI like the first one the best! =)
ReplyDeleteI like the BCBG skirt better I think!! It would make me feel like a princess =)
