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!

The Summary

  Today, I’m sharing 10 splurge vs. steal item pairs

  Each pair represents both a classic investment piece and an affordable alternative

  I’ve only linked the affordable alternatives, but if you’re looking for information about any of the items, feel free to ask in the comments
