I got a humorous email from Maria yesterday that said "Even if I had the money, I'd rather buy a plane ticket to Dallas rather than those boots!"
So I thought..why not come up with some alternatives? I perused Modcloth and found some cuties for dresses. For 1/4 of the price!! Can you believe it? Obviously not an exact match, but these have the same "feel" of the Anthro look at a fraction of the cost.

I particularly love this one..and the name!!


Here are some Target boots I found for less than 1/8 of the price!!! I do think that spending between $100-150 on boots is very conservative, so feel free to hit up Steve Madden, DSW, or Zappos..


Some Modcloth coats were reminiscent to the plaid one on the model...at less than 1/3 of the cost!


So let's see here...if we total up the most expensive options on this list...we get $243...then go purchase your Anthro head wrap and tights for another $50...not even $300 for the whole look when it was $1,204 for the Anthropologie look!!! What's that you say? Oh I know, I was thinking the same. Now you have extra money for other things...such as food, shelter, and rent...just kidding. I was thinking more about accessories (scarves anyone?), cupcakes, and music.
well done Ann - you are a fabulous researcher. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, on behalf of your many faithful followers.
ReplyDeleteaside: I recently bought Steve Madden boots for $100 and they are perfection.
LOVE this post! I want to see more of this type of genius research :D.
ReplyDeleteI am still wearing a pair of Steve Madden boots I bought a couple of years ago on sale at Nordstrom. I believe you had the same pair too :)
LOVE this post! I need your help to find more purse-friendly alternatives!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. You pick out the cutest outfits!!!!!
I love the second and third dresses the best!!! So chic!!!
dresses, money and plane tickets,
xo
Super cute! I would need to see the Target boots in person, because I'm with you, upwards of $150 isn't a lot to spend, and sometimes their shoes are cheaply made. They sure do look great, though! XX!
ReplyDeleteawesome finds, Ann! I do wish Anthropologie didn't always charge an arm and a leg...Seriously!
