Bored of your old accessories? Wanting to buy some new pieces? Concerned about the price? Well, don’t worry because Her Campus has got you covered!
As females we know that there are certain items that we can never have too many of: shoes, bags, and necklaces to name a few. We also know that it’s okay to splurge on those certain fashion “necessities”. With brands like Michael Kors, Steve Madden, and J. Crew flashing their overpriced merchandise in our faces, we feel compelled to buy them just so we feel that material gleam of conquest. Name brands are nice, but the feeling we get as we look back at our bank account post-purchase is not.Many women have a bad habit of purchasing something and hardly wearing it. Think about how many times you actually wear a certain accessory. Is it really necessary to buy the more upscale item even though you’re only going to wear it a few times?
This is where we step in. We all know that as college students we are trying to live the champagne lifestyle on a beer budget. Looking our best is a priority on the weekend and we want to show you that you can still look fashionable without purchasing a $400 bag. Comparing brands such as J. Crew to Rue 21, Michael Kors to Target, and Steven Madden to Payless, HC ISU will show you that fashion doesn’t necessarily always come with an overpriced tag.
