You can buy this BCBG skirt for $148….or….
…or this Forever 21 skirt for $14.50.
Although they are both slightly different, I would much rather save my money and buy the cheaper version (which is what i did!) I saw the BCBG skirt when I walked into Macy’s and was bummed when I saw the price tag. Then I walked past Forever 21 and saw the very skirt I’m wearing in this picture on a mannequin. I walked right in, found my size, tried it on, and purchased it. It’s my new favorite skirt!
Would you rather splurge on the BCBG skirt, Lovelies, or save and buy the Forever 21 version?

I definitely cheap out. I’ll buy something really expensive occasionally when I have the money, but it’s not the most important thing to me.

I saw a pair of BCBG heels for 89, they would match the skirt!

Being dirt poor, I’d have to go with the less expensive version of an item.

I like it on you better. Way more personality. Huzzah!

I actually like the Forever21 version better. I like how the colors stick out more compared to the BCBG skirt. Great pick.

I wouldn’t buy the F21 version. If I couldn’t find a better knock off, I’d live without the skirt. If I was going somewhere that called for me having a skirt like that, and those were my only choices, I’d splurge.

I’d rather spend the money than look cheap.

I actually like yours better! It’s shorter and I like the width of the stripes on yours better!
I only like to splurge on like shoes, makeup, and purses.. clothes not so much. I’m all about bargain when it comes to clothes, because I get tired after I wear it like twice..

Personally I like the BCBG skirt better. The Forever 21 skirt is too short; the other one looks more classy.

Not a fan of bandage clothes in general, but the BCBG one is especially matronly. Suprisingly, I love the forever21 skirt on you! Good job styling it to look not so dressed up, as well. I think the bandage skirt/dress look is hard to pull off, and you made it look great!

Actually, I think the Forever 21 skirt is alot nicer.
