In the Mood: Splurge, Save, Steal (Fall’s Hottest Trends)

I’m not sure about you guys, but I constantly find myself going back and forth on whether I should just save up the money and splurge on big ticket items like a $2500 purse or a $500 pair of sunglasses or save my money and just buy the cheaper and more affordable version!  It sure would be great to not have to worry about money and splurge when you want to, but this is the real world.  And 9 times out of 10, I just focus on finding the best dupes I can find.  So today, I thought I would share some of my favorite “look for less” options with you all.

One of my favorite deals is this saddle bag from TJ Maxx mostly because its almost identical to the Chloe version.  And how great are these scalloped ballet flats for $43? They look just like the $495 ones here. I don’t’ think I’ve ever paid over $75 for a pair of jeans before, so I don’t understand paying $245 for these designer jeans.  Now if they go on sale and the price is reasonable, then I’ll definitely pick them up. Lately, my go-to place for jeans is Old Navy since they sell for under $50.  In my opinion, designer sunglasses are way too expensive to buy at full price especially since people tend to lose them or break them so easily.  Lately, I’ve been buying affordable cat eye sunglasses like this one HERE, this one HERE and I have my eye on this one HERE.  They are still stylish and I save a ton of money.  I have a utility vest from Old Navy from forever ago, but this one HERE is a great alternative to this Rag & Bone vest.

What are your thoughts on splurging vs. saving? Would you rather save up and buy the name brand or steal and get the look for way less?  Also, let me know if you like to see more splurge, save or steal posts on my blog. I had fun putting this together for you all.
