Splurge vs. Steal: Ankle Booties

Rag & Bone 'Newbury' Ankle Boot - Nordstrom, Vince Camuto 'Hadley' Ankle Boot - Amazon

It is probably going to seem like I am on some Rag & Bone bashing spree, but when you have a celebrity favorite designer brand with hipster street style popularity, the general public is going to want to follow suit....on a budget. 

I wish I could understand a $525 price point for half a pair of boots; so unless you're getting a foot massage while wearing them, you're just buying them to say you have them. Am I right? 

I've always loved the expression, "something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it." Luckily for me, I got my Vince Camuto 'Hadley' boots (which are identical) for a mere $25 on eBay. Brand spankin' new. I'll make it even sweeter. Here's another version by Arturo Chiang from Ideel. Exercise your right to pay less.

Another day, another chambray button down. Or is it? It's no secret I love my chambray shirts, but what drew me to this particular one, was although it was intended to be worn as a dress (which I love), I thought it was a little short, so I have other plans for this one: worn like this, as a tunic with leggings, as an over shirt, or as a beach cover up. 

These printed trousers from Zara caught my eye right away. I liked the watercolor print and the color pattern was neutral enough to match with so many different things. In a sea of black, blue and grey skinny jeans, these are a fun pattern to add to the mix on a gloomy fall day.
