Splurge vs. Steal: Black and White edition

There have been a few designer items I’ve had my eye on the past couple of weeks – and not surprisingly they are all black and white! But since I can’t afford the designer prices I thought I’d look around for more budget friendly options. 
I don’t think I could spend $1,850 on a handbag even if I had the money! The Forever 21 bag comes in cream and tan as well. 
A RM bag has been on my wishlist for awhile but if $130 isn’t in your budget the F21 version is a great alternative.
These flats have been all the rage in the blogging world recently. But I’m not going to spend $700 of a pair of shoes that I’ll end up wearing out. I would definitely go for the Topshop version.
Another blogger favorite – the J.Crew panama hat! I don’t wear hats that much so I feel like I shouldn’t spend $65 on one. I saw the F21 version in the store and I was really close to getting it! I think I’ll have to go back!
The classic loafer updated with a pointed toe and gold heel. I love the details on the Nicholas Kirkwood version but $400 is out of my budget. The Ivanka Trump flats are really similar and for a fraction of the price! (I’ve also seen similar versions at F21 recently but I could’t find a link)

  8. That Forver 21 looks like a great version of the Rebecca Minkoff bag! I tend to just wait for the Rebecca Minkoff bags to go on sale, there's always a sale on somewhere, haha! Hope that you get some of the items you want on your wishlist!
