Luxe for Less

With the wedding creeping closer and closer, I am tightening the purse strings in order to prepare for the payments ahead. That means having to find alternatives on my wish list items for summer. Actually, truth be told, I usually buy things on the cheaper end of the spectrum. The luxe items usually stay on my wish list. I get so excited when I find something that looks like an item I want but is so much less.

Here are some of my favourite luxe for less swaps this summer...

Rebecca Taylor at Bloomingdales vs. Gap

Shorts

Vince at Bloomingdales vs. J.Crew
