Covet or Love It

Today we had a garage sale, and sold off so many things that we don't use anymore.  In addition, we donated some big items that didn't sell.  It's always a good feeling to see something put to good use, so knowing our old cast-offs would make someone's day was priceless.  Yes, we parted with things for payment so low it was crazy, but the truth is that you can't hold on to everything forever.  Sometimes you just have to let go, and that's exactly what we did.  In the process, another thing I noticed was how little some people had to spend.  Now, I'm not rich, but growing up well-to-do, you forget the hardships some people face.  While the items above aren't the one dollar price tag I sold my old clothes for today, this post is inspired by those people who find bargains wherever they can, because they have to.  So, enjoy this edition of Covet or Love It.

Covet or Love It

I'm a girl who loves to find beautiful pieces for almost no money.  That's not to say I never splurge, but there is a certain thrill in finding a bargain (which I detailed in my last post).  Whenever I'm on Polyvore it strikes me how wide a price range they have.  While you can easily filter the clothing to a manageable budget using their tools, it's interesting to see the expensive beside the inexpensive (and sometimes not be able to tell the difference).  On Cupcakes and Cashmere (I know, I talk about that blog way too much) there is a type of post where she picks one piece and finds one pricey and one cheap(er) version.  While it's a great post, we all have different body types, different needs and different tastes.  So, I've decided to take it up a notch with three different pieces for several occasions, all with the same, classic pattern of black and white stripes.  Here are pieces that we can covet alongside dresses that are equally cute, but affordable, so that you can love them for a long time. 

Hope you enjoy!

XOXO,
