Desire v. Realist Shopping Guide

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BU chapter.

As college students, we all have to pick and chose when and what we spend our money on. Do you splurge for delicious sushi or save your money and go to the dining hall once again? Do your two-week-old laundry or save the extra cash for that new sequin dress you’ve had your eyes on? Fear no more college gal, introducing “Desire vs. Realist Buyer”: a guide on what to splurge on, and where to get those great steals to make it seem like your outfit came straight from the runway.  

We all dislike going shopping for designer look-a-likes but we never somehow achieve the success of buying something that’s just right. Below are some great deals that come pretty close to the real deal. So this weekend, head over to those stores and show everyone you can still be just as stylish without breaking the bank.
