This has become one of my favorite posts to write, the This or That series. Most of my inspiration comes for J.Crew, and I find most of my knock offs at Target. Which I love because everybody wants to have J.Crew style, but most of us have a Target budget! Today's pick...
The ankle booties has been getting hotter and hotter over the past couple of years. Styles have been growing and becoming more wearable for everyday. I picked up my pair on clearance, and have worn them about 3 times a week ever since. This style can cross over from dressy to causal flawlessly because of their color, fabrication, and heel structure. If the J.Crew booties fit in your checkbook you can get them {here}, other wise Target has their version {here}. Now I know they don't look exactly the same, but their functions is absolutely the same: tan, suede, ankle, chunky heel! And I don't know if this is still true but at one point Nine West had the contract to make the Target in house brand shoes. So their silhouette and structure was of great design quality, just lower budget on material (ie they are not going to be real leather).
I loved them here when I wore them with a cute silk dress and some printed socks. Now the socks are from J.Crew, those I could afford (on sale)!
Here are two outfits I have actually worn with these booties!
Style and save my friends!
pssst...

As many of you know I am a girl on a budget. I'm still in the beginning stages of getting this business off the ground, and most of my time and money are dedicated to Fashion Fix. But I still wants to stay in fashion! And what is more in fashion this fall than leather...? Not much, that's for sure. So which of these do think made it into my closet?
Even better, when I spied these faux leather front leggings at Target they were on the clearance rack for only $17.95. Seriously, I could do a million posts on things I pick up off the Target clearance rack. Until I have time to do that follow me on the tweet machine {here}. Whenever I find a good buy I tweet it out for all to know!
I don't know about you but $24 is much more checkbook friendly for me, but if you can afford it you can pick up those J.Crew leather leggings {here}.
Whole outfit; high to low!
Don't forget to come see Fashion Fix at the Wild Ruffle Pop Up Shop this weekend!!!!!
I had a fantastic time this past weekend at the Divorcing Divas conference! It was a joy to be among other businesses that empower women and provide resources while they are going through a difficult time. I made many new friends and clients and I got to see many women walk away realizing that there is hope and new beginnings for their lives.
One of the stand outs from the day were my $20 Target shoes! Inspired by the infamous J.Crew style. Unfortunately that style isn't always in my budget, so I have to find what is...
I found my style at a more budget friendly Target :)
Luckily enough, when I picked them up they were on sale for $20.99! Which I did tweet out when I found them; if you aren't already following Fashion Fix on Twitter you can do that {here}. Anytime I run across a good buy I am sure to let the public know. They carried this gal through a long day, and I was happy to give them a deserved rest when I got home.
