Nowadays, it seems we’re all looking for cheaper alternatives for everything. This isn’t exactly the time to regularly break the bank on shopping sprees. So, it’s wise to browse around before coming to a final decision or experiencing buyer’s remorse. I’ve slowly been learning how to do so. But the inspiration for this post comes from 15dollarstore.com. I purchased a cute little party dress for, you guessed it, only $15 earlier in the year that is eerily similar to one I recently noticed at Bebe for $69. For once, I bought a cheaper look before knowing a more expensive copy existed.

I also purchased a plain tan colored jersey type dress, reminiscent of American Apparel, for just $15. I saw it as a blank canvas and hope to spruce it up a bit with added detail of some sort.

More cute items available for a mere $15 that would look particularly fabulous this holiday season…
