designer sandals at target prices

I was at Target yesterday before my mom and sister went to go see Table 19 (don't really recommend it), and as I wandered into the shoe section, I recognized so many styles that I've seen on sites like Nordstrom, Shopbop, and other department stores. It was really this style of sandal that made me go hmm...look at all of these designer dupes! Since it's now March and we can officially start thinking about spring (and spring wardrobes!), below are some of the best dupes I found! I like to think of dupes as the way of getting the look for less - not as pretending to be the original brand. I think it's a great way to get the style of what you want without blowing your budget!

$24.99 versus $117.95

$32.99 versus $1,045

$32.99 versus $170

$27.99 versus $79.95

$22.99 (love these!) versus $95.99

$27.99 versus $99.00

$32.99 versus $109.95 (but now on sale)

$32.99 versus $975 *they are exactly the same!

these aren't a designer dupe, but they are very similar to the sandals I got while in Santorini, so wanted to share with those of you who have asked about my pair!

look for less: target edition

I love Target as much as the next girl (basic bitch?) - where else can you get bread, cute ballet flats, and fun stationary? While their clothes don't always work on me, there are some real gems to be found there! Not only are they cute, a lot of items are verrrrrry similar to more expensive items. Here are just a few things I found, plus their pricier counterpart!

I have a similar Frye pair (mine are the Paige version) that I've had for three years now, and I love them as much as the day I bought them. They are crrrrrrrrazy expensive though, so the Target version, while still pricey for Target boots, are genuine leather and have the same look for way way less.

You guys know how much I love my transport tote. I've been using it for years, and I think it only gets better with age. That said, I got mine during a 30% off sale, and even then it is still really expensive. The Target version looks to be about the same size, and as an added bonus, is also reversible! (and if you are looking for a bag with just a little something extra, this cognac bag is beautiful, and if I wasn't so attached to my current school bag, I would really consider ordering it)

There's something about Madewell's dresses that makes me want every single one - but four dresses later, and there would go my entire quarter's budget. The Target version is strikingly similar, and almost a fifth of the price. If any of you have tried this dress on, please let me know what you think! I'm afraid that because it's in juniors that it will be too short on me, but I would love to try it out.

While I love the Michael Kors I bought earlier this summer, I have a similar gold version from Target that I love (almost) as much. It's just so sturdy, and held up well over the years since I purchased it. The current teal version is a fun way to add a bit of color to a traditional mens style watch!

And of course I couldn't mention look a likes without mentioning my new favorite scarf. I've worn this scarf every single day since I bought it - it's just so soft and snuggly. I know a couple of you already went out and bought it, but if you haven't, run, don't walk. They seem to be selling out quickly, and for good reason ;)
