Tightwad Tuesday: BB Dakota Janika Striped Faux Fur Vest for Less

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!

  2. 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!

  14. 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!

  15. 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!

  16. 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!!

  17. 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!

  18. 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.

  19. Hmmm...I like the belt on the Charlotte Russe version.

    ReplyDelete
  20. 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.

  21. They are gorgeous, but I think I would splurge...not a big price difference.

    ReplyDelete
  22. 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!!
