Darlings, to the left take a peek at BB Dakota’s fabulous Janika Striped Faux Fur Vest; to the right prepare to gasp in amazement at Charlotte Russe’s Long Belted Faux Fur Vest.Though the Charlotte Russe beauty proffers a longer hemline than the BB Dakota wonder, and features a removable belt that the higher-priced piece lacks; for just $20.00, as opposed to the $65.00 of the original, it adds the preemptive amount of furry goodness for walking in a winter wonderland to the frugal fashionista’s wardrobe – at a price that is too pretty to pass up!
What’s your stand…will you splurge, or save?
Fashionably yours!
Thanks to Shopbop and Charlotte Russe for the pictures.

I think I would splurge this time because it's not too much more money, but it's sooo chic!! So cute!

Hmm.. since I prefer my vests longer, I'd actually go for the Charlotte Russe one! Also don't love the collar on the BB Dakota one.
Great post, E! Can't believe how similar they are with the stripes.
Hope you enjoyed the holidays!
xx, becs
Charlotte Russe, I like that it's belted and longer.
I adore the Forever 21 one!
My favorite is the Charlotte Russe vest.

I want a fur vest but im not feeling these. I feel like charlotte rousse one added a belt because it probably didnt fit as well.
wow, just 20 buck. Amazing!
I love the Charlotte Russe one, it looks great with jeans!=)
not really my style, so i'll save my money for your next find :P
Love the fur! Think I would go for the Charlotte Russe one though.

Charlotte Russe never ceases to amaze me, although I'm picking about faux fur--I don't like anything too itchy or cheesy looking, I will definitely check it out. THanks Erika for always making the most amazing finds!

Love them both, but I actually love the longer one a little better...so I'm going with the Charlotte Russe!
Hope you had a great Christmas!
i don't care for either of them to be honest. i can't get away with faux fur anything....it just doesn't fit...me.
BUT - the charlotte russe one looks comparable...which is always good!!

I love these vests! And I love the Charlotte Russe-one even better, because it has a belt and it's longer, the things the BB Dakota hasn't
Thanks for visiting!

This is a tough one! I love both of them but I really like the tie on the Charlotte Russe. Gives the vest some form.
Hmmm...I like the belt on the Charlotte Russe version.
I'm really not a fan of either, but I would choose Charlotte Russe's version if I had to because of the length. Happy Tuesday, E.
They are gorgeous, but I think I would splurge...not a big price difference.
You never cease to amaze me! Honestly I like the longer hemline better. One could always add a bit of luxe to the cheaper one with a nicer belt.
BTW- thank you for visiting and commenting on my blog post earlier. i had a hiccup with intensedebate on my site and comments left after midnight are gone!! :( So your comment isn't there for me to respond to now - Sorry!!

Perfect pieces!
oooohlalalala...OK, great price for the cheaper one, but I might go without the belt.
Totally great find.
Its very cool..but so needed for warmth. I like the deal you found.
I found some similar ones here too, and around 20$ too:))
it's a popular vest I guess:)
Splurge, because he russo vest is nicer:) But I don't like this kind of fur, I want more Rachel Zoe type of vest. Thanks so much for ur sweet commetn btw:) You are so nice, it warms my heart to read ur comments.
Love Iben
I like the cheaper version! call me crazy but the belt gives it that somethin somethin! xo
i love my new bb dakota coat, but i will definitely go for the charlotte russe one. :D
<3, Mimi
Ooohhh, I love this! Great find Erika!
I love the charlotte russe vest!! the bow tops it all off.
xoxo
Love the CR one - the belt is so cute! :)
im not a huge fan of this vest....
so I would save!
Oh, Erika! I love your blog, it's too cute!
I want a faux fur vest badly!
Such a sweet find at that nifty price.
I would save on this one, they both look awesome to me!
so into faux fur, i love the belt on the charlotte russe style!
i love tightwad tuesdays :D ur so good at finding bargains :D
I would definitely spend more this time, love the cut much better!!
I actually like the CR one more! Like the length and belt. =D
(Hope you had a nice holiday!)
This time I would chose to save. They look so similar to me and its a piece I would probably only wear for the season anyways. Great post!
♥K
that is such a great deal for an awesome fur vesttt !!
it looks just almost the same !
glisters and blisters
I like the charlotte Russe one. The fact that it's a tad longer and has a belt makes it a lot more stylish.
I'd be saving - super cute vest either way!
I bet for the right side faux fur vest because it have a good fit and I like the ribbon style which adds a more fab look.
