Banana Republic vs. Target

I love talking clothes with Teresa and she just lets me rant and rant about who designs this and what to pair with that so for Christmas she asked that we combine forces and give her a head to toe outfit...Challenge! I'M GAME! It was so fun...if I didn't love being with those kids so much...

 I'd look into being her personal shopper :)

So here is a comparison of the always chic and classic Banana Republic and Target! BOTH are great places to shop but why not look at the styles that are so similar you wont believe it...and neither will your wallet!

I love these tops! Target carries this in four colors and with the removable belt!

Trench...must have...

 Nude pumps are a must have and the wedge are a more comfortable version...

 Flats Friday! or for your weekend look!

These are not exact replicas but pretty close 

and all would be great additions to your work wardrobe Teresa!!:)

etsy...awesome.

I LOVE etsy. 

How cute is this stuff!

high end vs. good old fashion bargain hunting

I love home decorating just as much if not more than shopping for shoes and clothes and I find that the same bargaining principles are in home shopping as well. You need a) patience b) a computer and c)imagination.

Neiman Marcus has some of the most amazing home furniture pieces around but not everyone can afford thier pieces, myself being included. Here are a few things I found at Target that are close enough to make your home have the same statement pieces but at a FRACTION of the cost!

These chairs around a dinning room table...Molto bella! Even different colors! And you would save SO much buying them this way, you could afford to have them recovered or better yet do them yourself (and maybe even some nailhead trim!)!

If these "looks for less" would appease you...you could save $2,759.01!!!!!!
