Steals vs. Splurge? Is a brand name really better?

Hello dollies, Swimmingbabe19 here with a quick post on fashion. Have you ever been caught in the middle of two very similar items but just have had an issue with pricing? Well, what did you go for? The more expensive brand name, or the cheaper copy?

Steals and Splurges are encounteres so often, and sometimes you are faced with the challenge of deciding whether to go for the designer or for the 'knock off'. That's where you can decide easily. First, inspect the fabric of the cheaper option for material (cotton, polyester, nylon, etc) and for tears or signs of weak threads. Second, look at similarity? Are they closely related or is one more complex or colorful? And last, ask yourself, "Am I going to be paying full price for true quality, or am I better off with a lesser quantity?"

Because the truth is, it is not what you wear, but how you wear it. And labels are sometimes an extra, that you can save yourself from paying for.
