This look all started with this black ruffle sweater that is only $35.  It is hard to miss - but ruffled sleeves are everywhere - and I really like this ruffle sweater.  It reminds me of the Club Monaco one that costs a lot more.  With this look, I knew I wanted to add in a pop of red - and then, I found this fun whimsical Kate Spade bag with birds and hearts - but it was almost $400 - so, I looked around and found this bag that looks like a mix between the Zac Posen and Dolce & Gabanna bags but for only $30 - and it comes in three other colors.  Also, I love the buckle boots in this look - that are under $60.

OTHER SAVE vs SPLURGE BAG DUPES

When I found that red floral bag, I also found so many other bags that were such close dupes of the designer bags - but for a fraction of the cost - like less than $20 for a lot of them.  So, if you like the look of a designer bag - you might want to check these out.

BEST PURCHASES THAT ARE ON SALE

This sweater is my favorite.  It is so soft and comfy, and it comes in three different colors and is on sale for $17 (with the additional 40% off)!

This waffle knit turtleneck sweater is only $21!  I have worn it so much already - and it still looks brand new (and after washing it twice - it still looks great).  I actually love it so much I bought another one.

This boucle sweater is also $21 - and so comfy.
