French for less

Not quite as nice as APC, but good enough. I've been combing through ebay, finding less expensive alternatives to some APC favorites.

I hate nantucket red in most clothing, but I love how it looks on moccasins.

APC: $270


Dexter moccasins on ebay: $9.99

Braided leather bracelets. You might think "surfer dude aesthetic" right off the bat, but these could go SUPER well with feminine, clean, and light spring/summer outfits. Thinking cropped shorts, button downs, striped tees, easter colors.

APC: $70

Ebay: $3.75 for two

Again, these alternatives are not nearly as nice, especially when it comes to crucial detailing and quality of material, but still, I am poor and superficial, and they will do for now.

purchases.

some dresses i found today, much to the dismay of my bank account. although, it could be much worse--i found them at Whorever 21 (go figure, right?). though i will say, i've often found some of my favorite pieces there; you just have to dig for them. the best things are the ones there are only one or two of scattered in the far corners of the store, i find.





it occurs to me: Sydney is always posting things she bought from nice, classy places--the likes of Built By Wendy and Opening Ceremony--while i'm always looking for cheap shit on eGay and at places like Whorever 21 (props to Miss Kelly Duroncelet for coining that genius name, btw). lol. i'm so un-fancy. well, whatever. i have $750 of rent to pay every month, bitch.
