Hello, it's me and today I wanted to write about fashion and what it costs to look good. Unfortunately clothes these days are just too expensive to even think about wearing that gorgeous dress from Prada. We all think in our head 'why buy a $2,000 blouse from Gucci when I can by the same thing for $20 at target'. It's okay, I have you covered.
Im going to show you 4 outfits from the top brands and create the same outfit at an affordable price, are you ready to look like a million bucks? I sure am!

So from this post, I learnt that you don't have to pay thousands of dollars to follow new trends or to look stylish. Of course everyone has their own different style and their own opinions but this is just to show the difference in price between clothing that can look almost identical.
I created all these outfits if Polyvore, if you want to follow me, my username is Skubbie.
