You Paid How Much for that Outfit?!

By Hello Beautiful June 16, 2009 11:23 am


With the economy in the dumps right now, we wanted to make sure that you could still look your best without spending an amount that could send anyone into bankruptcy. So to do this, we went on the hunt for some of the hottest summer looks and then found ways that you could get the same look for less! So whether you are pinching pennies to survive the recession or will use that extra cash to buy another hot outfit, you can get looks that make you look and feel like a million bucks, for far less!

Take a look at this week’s finds!

If you decided to buy all the expensive finds that we found, you would be set back $2152.26. However, by buying our “Looks for Less” price you pay only $296.98 total. That is a savings of $1855.28!!! That money is enough to excuse the fact that some of the items aren’t exact matches. Not only will you look great, but you will also have money to spend on a night dining, dancing, or maybe even a vacation to show off your great finds (unless you save your money for bills or retirement which is stylish, too)!

1 ) Versace outfit (shirt, pants, shoes), $1551.30 ($587.90, $404.90, $558.50), saksfifthavenue.com

2 ) “Floral-print voile top”, $29, newport-news.com

3 ) Lafayette 148 “New York ‘Sloane’ Sateen Pants”, $98.90, nordstrom.com

4 ) Aldo Shoes’ “Frowill” sandals, $130.00, aldoshoes.com

5 ) Sergio Rossi black “patent stretch zip detail sandals”, $556, bluefly.com

6 ) Mossimo “Vanya Strappy Pumps”, $24.99, target.com

7 ) Merona “Eleora Flat Sandals”, $14.99, target.com

8 ) Steve Madden “Sanfrann”, $44.96, stevemadden.com

Here is another way to keep your finances in check!

There is silver lining on the economic front!

Looking for more ways to save money, look no further!
