It was so funny....because when I saw this on Pinterest, I thought "That's the exact outfit that I am wearing to take the boys to school and then go on the fire station field trip with the first graders.....what a crazy coincidence!" Other than the $2,855 Bottega Veneta perforated suede tank top (which I will seamlessly replace with my $7 Target tank), the $305 ribbed asymmetrical hem cotton cardigan (which is virtually indistinguishable from my gray Pirates of the Caribbean hoodie), the $165 Tommy Hilfiger Rome Jeans (which I will substitute for my $30 plus 20% off pair of Levis) and the $341 Badgley Mischka Cherise Leather Satchel (which I will have to replace with my Liz Claiborne backpack purse for the field trip), this is what I will be sporting come Monday morning!
Sigh......A girl can dream.......
At least I will look good in my imagination.....sigh.....


You will look fabulous :)

Hey Karin,
Just think of all the money you saved by NOT buying those expensive brands. And think of all the things you can buy with said saved money at Paper Tales! Besides, I think you'll look fantastic in your outfit.
