Who doesn’t love a bargain, especially in turbulent economic times? Bank busts, inflation, groceries, and gas prices have made headlines in recent months and all of them factor into our day-to-day lives. Today’s post is all about Splurge vs. Steal. It’s a great way to look expensive without breaking the bank.
While I love to invest in quality garments and accessories, (handbags, shoes, and sunglasses) I also love a great steal. Who doesn’t? Honestly, luxury items are worth every penny (they are!) due to the materials and craftsmanship. But I love to keep an eye out for luxury dupes. If you love a great “steal” stick around. Enjoy!
Today, I'm sharing 10 splurge vs. steal item pairs
Each pair represents both a classic investment piece and an affordable alternative
