3 AMAZING SPLURGE VS. STEAL’S + 3 SEXY SUMMER DATE-NIGHT LOOKS

Dallas fashion blogger modeling STEAL VS. SPLURGE items

I always love when I find an amazing SPLURGE VS. STEAL item!  In fact, that is one of my top tips on how to look expensive even if you’re on a budget.  I like to see what some of my favorite high-end designers are coming out with so I can then research what has trickled down to the lower-end designers.

With this recession taking hold I’m also trying to be very mindful of always offering budget-friendly items to go along with any designer items I may feature.  If you love a good steal, then grab that cup of coffee and get comfy because there are 3 incredible STEAL VS. SPLURGE’S featured in 3 different affordable summer looks all so perfect for a date night or girl’s night out.

EXPRESS GOLD HEELS $78 VS. GIANVITO ROSSI GOLD HEELS $925:

EXPRESS GOLD HEELS:

My first STEAL VS. SPLURGE is these amazing gold heels from Express. The ones I’m wearing in this post look very similar to the Gianvito Rossi heels, but they’re a fraction of the price. If the designer splurge is out of your budget, try the steal, I think you will be pleasantly surprised!

EXPRESS CUT-OUT DRESS:

My next designer dupe is this amazing cut-out dress from Express. It reminds me of a Cult Gaia dress but it’s a fraction of the price and just as fabulous. If you didn’t know this was the dupe I bet you couldn’t even tell which one I’m wearing! It fits true to size and I’m wearing an XS.

My final SPLURGE VS. STEAL is this amazing cinched side midi dress from Maurices. Which one do you think I’m wearing above? If you guessed the steal, you are right! The ribbed knit material makes this dress look far more expensive than it really is and the thigh high slit brings a tastefully sexy vibe to the look. I’m wearing an XS in this amazing high-value dress.
