Splurge or Save: Statement Coat
RED Valentino Ann Taylor
Hi everybody!
Ever get that bitter feeling when you see the clothing item of your dreams, but it's way over your budget. It's happened to me countless amount of times. But have you ever got that sweet feeling when you find an exact replica and it's so much cheaper. It's a sense of victory; defeating the haunting price and prevailing with a stylish and reasonable clone. I have had my eyes on this statement coat for a while now, waiting for the steep price to drop. But, after a while I started to lose hope, not knowing whether to just bite the bullet and pay up or to give up on my desires to purchase this beauty. But, when I saw Ann Taylor's most recent collection I was in awe that Ann Taylor has the exact same coat. The print, the length, the 3/4 sleeves; all exactly alike to the coveted RED Valentino coat. I was shocked and excited all at once, finally being able to buy the coat I was after for a while, and actually surprised at how much better it looks with a reduced price. ;)
Thank you so much for reading!
Stay beautiful,
Sofia

Whoa, great find Sofia! I'm glad you've bought it.
ReplyDeleteGreat find. thanks for sharing. It's incredible how much alike they are. 'What a steal' (literally and figuratively). LOL
ReplyDeleteThough the materials are the same... I'm sure the prices aren't.
Thanks again,
Isabella
I would save. I actually like it better than the splurge.

It is always hard to know weather to go for the real designer make or the copy one. I have finally stopped buying the copy's though, it just seems wrong to me in some ways? I do love a good buy at Zara thought! Great blog :)

I know the feeling, so many burberry coats I had to get the splurge version of or recreate it. although the next burberry utility coat i have my eye on, i am actually going to purchase it.
