The Highs and Lows: Free People vs Forever 21

So have you ever seen a dress that you loved on sight and had to have it?! That's how it was when I first saw this Free People Holly dress, when I tried it on I went immediately to the register and told the sales woman to ring me up. It features the cutest lace design with and metallic threading and has a cut out back which makes it the cutest going out dress. While at $98.00 the dress definitely doesn't break the bank but you CAN do better for the price.

Shame on us for not doing our research because Forever 21 has a Metallic Lace Trim dress that is almost identical to the Free People Holly Dress for only $22.80. So clearly me being the Fabulously Chic and Cheap shopper that I am took the Free People dress went back to the store and soon the Forever 21 dress will be in my closet :-)

YSL Tribtoo Pumps

Fab readers we could not believe our eyes when we saw the Round Toe Platform Pump from Wet Seal. It looks almost identical to the YSL Tribtoo Pump. We know that the YSL Pump has been seen on nearly every red carpet for the past few years and is definitely an investment shoe, but we just can't bring ourselves to pay $795 for this shoe...(however if we were ever to pay that much for a shoe it would probably be this shoe). Luckily Wet Seal has delivered an extremely similar pair of shoes for only.....wait for it....wait for it...$24.50!!!. Yes that is the same thing we said, for that price we can get 2 pair and so can you!!! What we love is that they didn't shorten the  heel which stands 5.5". Check them out here and get a pair in your size because these are definitely going to sell out fast.
