I love designer clothes. Yes, there you have it. I said it.  It’s just my bank account that doesn’t rejoice with my new Chloe jacket, or Celine pants, or even that new Tomas Maier blouse. So since I am working hard to be smarter: have food in the fridge as well as clothes in my closet, it’s nice to know that there are other options that are SIMILAR but slightly less expensive. Here are some items you might consider wearing with your new Valentino boots. The art of high/low shopping is attainable.
