Megan was loving Extra Petite's J. Crew sequin skirt and I knew I had seen something similar at PayHalf.  It's almost an exact replica (the color is a little different) and she discovered, after purchasing, that it even had pockets!

I actually prefer the less-expensive version.

Fashion Facsimile: Tie-neck Blouse

Which is $168 and which is $42.95?

Fashion Facsimile: Smoking Slippers

Whether you want gold sparkle, leopard or solids, there's a cheaper option available.

Gold:  Which is $68.95 and which is $18.70?

Leopard: Which is $119.95 and which is $20.90?

Solid:  Which is $18.70 and which is $385?

Fashion Facsimile: Platform Lace-Up Booties

Which is $159 and which is $41.55?

Maybe you can tell the difference.  Maybe you can't afford to be bothered by the differences.  Here's the thing with these designer copies - IMO, the person who spends $159 on their shoes isn't going to sacrifice the quality to save $118, so the designer is not loosing money on the deal.  (Not to mention, JC is guilty of "ripping-off" Salvatore Ferragamo, so can he really be upset?)   I'm grateful that style is afforded (pun intended) to those of us that don't have the luxury to blow at least a week, or more, of grocery money on 1 pair of shoes.

Fashion Facsimile: Oxford Pumps

Can you tell which is $44.99 and which is $59.95?

While it's only a savings of $15, 15 bucks is 15 bucks!

Fashion Facsimile: Colorful Wedges

Can you tell which retail for $94.95 and which are on sale for $39.99?

(Besides the fact that they're different colors.)

Yup, that's what I thought.

Fashion Facsimile: Studded Pumps

Can you tell which costs $349 and which is only $39.95?

Me neither.

Fashion Facsimile: Vera Wang Wedge Sandals

Can you tell which wedge sandal was priced at $350 and which is $69.95? 

Yeah, so can I.  

This Vera Wang Lavender Label Rosalyn wedge sandal is no longer available for purchase (and even if it was, $350!), and the Mojo Moxy is real leather! (upper)  The straps aren't the same, but they're similar enough for me.  I spotted these Vera Wangs on someone last summer and was instantly in love.  I couldn't pass up the replicas.  I just couldn't!

Fashion Facsimile: Frye Boots

Get the Frye boot look for a fraction of the price!

Can you tell which boot costs $228 and which is only $49.99?

 

Yep, neither can I.
