Buy This, Not That

We love this Michael Kors gold a-line skirt on the left, but the price is a bit out of our range at $380. This ECI jacquard metallic skirt gives us the same glimmer for a lot less dollar at just $69. 

Happy shopping, chic ones!

Buy This, Not That

Continuing in our new tradition of "Wear This, Not That" posts where we post more affordable versions of some of our favorite designer duds, we have decided to do a post on the LBSD. Oh my gosh, you say, am I that out of it that I don't know a fashion acronym? No, not really. It's just something new we came up with here at Chic Deac - it's the Little Black Shirtdress. Look at the picture below. Which of these is nearly $300 and which is only $25?


The dress on the left, from Rebecca & Drew is a $285 dress. It's gorgeous, and custom made, but that's a very expensive shirt dress. The version on the right is from Target and is only $25. We love both of these looks, but cheap works for us!

Happy shopping and remember to send us your tailgate pictures TODAY! We have a lot of entries, but could always use more! Chicdeacstyle@gmail.com

Buy This, Not That

Today we're going to start out a new feature where we show you high priced items and find a comparable, more affordable version. Everyone on Wake Forest's campus has seen Jack Rogers sandals. A pair of these often run a little under $100. I love the style of them and think they're great for church on Sundays, tailgates and even class. However, I've had some friends who've ruined theirs over the years by wearing them to events like Carolina Cup in the mud.

If you still want the preppy look, without the big price tag, Target has a very similar pair of sandals made by Merona. For only $20, they are quite the steal. This pair won't last as long as a Jack Rogers pair, but you won't feel as guilty walking through mud or having a beer spilled on them.
Happy shopping, and remember, there are only 2 more days to nail down the perfect tailgate look!
