this vs. that: summer accessories

1 - Stella + Dot necklace ($59) // Michael Kors tote ($298) // Tory Burch sandals ($175)

2 - World Market necklace ($10) // Walmart tote ($19) // Payless sandals ($30)

Happy Monday! August is officially here, which sadly means that summer is drawing to an end in just a few short weeks. However, that doesn't mean that you can't stock up on summer essentials, and it definitely doesn't mean that you can't still find summer bargains!

Today's "this vs. that" post is inspired by a few items I've picked up over the summer after finding bargain versions of designer pieces. I own all three items on the right, and I'm perfectly happy with each of them. Sure, I'd love to have the Tory sandals on the left, but I was ecstatic to find a similar pair at Payless for a fraction of the price! Check it out for yourself...the items on the right are almost a tenth of the cost of the designer version on the left!

Have any of you scored any great bargain pieces this summer?
