Tightwad Tuesday: Alice + Olivia Box Pleat Leather Skirt for Less

Lovers, in the left corner you will find Alice + Olivia’s blissful Box Pleat Leather Skirt; now, if you’ll be so kind as to shift your pretty kohl-rimmed peepers to the right, you will find Forever 21’s luscious Leatherette Skirt.

While the fabulous Forever 21 find is constructed out of faux leather, as opposed to the true leather of the Alice + Olivia gem; for a mere $15.80, in comparison to the $396.00 required to make the Box Pleat Leather Skirt your own, it is every bit as capable of allowing one to show off their glorious gams in style – without breaking the bank!

Which role have you decided to undertake on this tantalizing Tuesday, kittens? Tightwad or spendthrift?


Fashionably yours!


Thanks to Shopbop and Forever 21 for the pictures.

    Interesting to see a leather skirt in pleats. Usually I only see them as more of a straight skirt.

    I think I may buy the Forever 21 skirt later this week if I find one in my size at the store. It's just perfect.

    I love this skirt and I am going to F21 today :-) :-)
    both are cute but I can definitely save my pennies (well, many, many pennies in this case) and go for the F21 one.

    I'd love a leather skirt in brown also.

    Oh, and I totally agree with your comment on today's post. Very insightful.

    Oh my. I. Love. That. Skirt.

    As much as I'd love to spring for the A&O, I think F21 is just a bit more in my budget!

    i like the fact that the f21 skirt looks less shiny! great find, as usual:)

    I bet if you saw those two up close, the leather would win hands down! Pleather could never compete with the real thing :)

    Well, the Olivia does look more leathery while the 4Evah 21 does look like it was artificially made. But is it worth 25 times more than the 4E21??
