Minty Alternative


Acne Lia Cable Knit Sweater
Retail: $329.00




Forever 21 Sheer Back Sweater
$22.80

Two similar options the only major differences: the sheer back and the price.
I had listed the Acne sweater on a previous post for my spring wants so when I encountered this Sheer Back Forever 21 sweater I nearly did a double take. Also don't let the sheer back sweater images fool you it's much more vibrant in person and can easily imitate the Acne sweater.  
Honestly its a pretty awesome buy and hey can't complain when I got it for $306.20  cheaper.
 Can we say win.

Alternative Statement

Lanvin Strass Necklace
$935.00

 Vera Wang Sequin & Crystal Necklace
$495.00

My Unnamed necklace
$6.00

Even random shops give some amazing surprises. 
Gotta admit it does resemble a combination of these two designer pieces.
