Tightwad Tuesday: Cheap Monday Adriana Long Skirt for a Steal

Lovers, to your left savor the sauciness that is Cheap Monday’s ambrosial Adriana Long Skirt; to the right take a gander at GoJane’s glamorous Sheer Paneled Maxi Skirt.

While the gorgeous GoJane gem is ever so slightly longer than the Cheap Monday marvel, harboring a length of 41.5 inches, as opposed to the 39 inches of Adriana; for just $27.60, in comparison to the $85.00 necessary to claim Cheap Monday’s masterpiece as your own, it provides one’s wardrobe with just as much sass as its higher priced pal – without breaking the bank!

Are you having a tightwad moment darlings, or are you plagued with a craving to splurge?


Fashionably yours!

    I really love the GoJane version, which is a little more opaque. Plus, $27.60 is such a great price. I hope you have a good Tuesday, E.

    I'll splurge with Cheap Monday. It seems to have more movement to it than the other, it'd be more fun to wear.

    Love the new look here, Erika. You're keeping the blog stylin' :)

    Not sure if I'm liking this style at all, so I think I would pass on both options :) Save the money for those Chloe shoes from the other day!

    I say it doesn't hurt to own both! Perfect combination. This style has become very trendy recently, remember Halle Berry's stunning dress at the Golden Globes this year? We approve at www.anitaabramyan.com!

  51. karenFebruary 15, 2011 8:13 PM

    I love your new masthead! It's so fun and fitting. My personal style isn't drawn to sheer clothing, I do like Cheap Monday's hemline more than GoJane. But that could also be because I'm fairly short to begin with.
