I never thought I would see the day when an item from Anthropologie would represent a "bargain"... but, apparently, that day has arrived. I was browsing through Belle's latest Capitol Hill Style post, and of course, I ended up drooling over a deliciously striped creation by Thread... and forced Mia to join in on the fun. Completely awestruck by the design of the striped dress, I clicked through some other dresses in Thread's collection. I noticed this adorable hot pink ruffle number (to the left), but then realized I had just seen a similar dress on Anthropologie's site. I also noticed the price difference. Thread's dress comes in at a whopping $520, and Anthropologie's dress is a modest $98. Consequently, I was inspired to create my first "Buster v. Bargain" post today... representing comparisons between price-busting outfits and those that are more attainable by the humble masses.

ReplyDeletefunny indeed that anthropologie should ever be considered a "bargain". lol! not that i think their stuff is overpriced; on the contrary, i think their stuff is beautiful and absolutely worth it.
