You all know I’m all about mixing high end and low end! As my blog has evolved, I’ve learned that in some ways, you do get your money’s worth out of investing in certain pieces. However, some things are simply trends – and I like to pick and choose where I spend my money really. I have been browsing the internet for a couple of weeks and found so many amazing designer ‘look-a-likes’! Many of the styles and/or brands you will see in this post are hot, trendy must have pieces for Summer 2020. I’m recapping all of the save or splurge fashion items in this post.

Hi Emily!! I love your style. ❤️
Thank you so much!
how do you decide whether or not to buy the dupe? if you can get a dupe like the zimmermann so cheaply and you feel like they look the same, what makes you decide to go ahead and get the $500 one??
I just pick and choose how I spend my money! I found the Zimmermannn dress on sale for $365 and I know Zimmerman quality is amazing so I snagged it! Sharing the dupe for those of you who enjoy a Lower price point.
Loving THE DUPES VERSUS DESIGNER / SAVE OR SPLURGE SECTION! THANKS!!! <3
