Cheap vs Steep by poetofsorts featuring Victoria's Secret swimwear
1. and 2. Nylon Tricot Maillot-V Swimsuit
$45 - americanapparel.net
3. Halter one-piece monokini
$110 - victoriassecret.com
I'm getting more and more excited for Memorial Day Weekend. I planned a trip to Lake George for my boyfriend and I (it's his graduation present from me). I have a bunch of bikinis two I already know I plan on taking with me. One is my newly bought H&M bathing suit:
The bottom is the same color as the top. And the other bathing suit is an older black and white hawaiian print bathing suit (halter top and just a regular bikini bottom). But lately I've been obessed with wanting to buy a sexy one piece. I fell in love with Victoria Secrets one piece. I think it's super sexy but $110 for a bathing suit is a lot of money. I do like the American Apparel mostly because of it's price. I've been looking online for cheaper one pieces more like the Victoria Secrets bathing suit. I even went to the VS down on 34th street and couldn't even find it in stores. I thought maybe if I were to have seen it and tried it on I would have either hated or at least get a better understanding to as of why this bathing suit cost so much. Now I'm playing with the idea of getting the American Apparel swimsuit. Either way I will have to try it on.
Which one do you like more?

Outfit Post
Dress: MarcinoNecklace: H&M
Sandals: Forever21
Bangles and bracelet: Charlotte Russe
I had bought this dress awhile back at Filenes Basement and it never wrapped around me properly. Last night I decided to try it on again and it fits much better then it use to, which is why i decided to wear it today. It's so silky and light weight, everything a summer wrap dress should be.
I've decided that every Wednesday I will post a picture of a celebratity and tell you how you can get their look for less.
So lets start with Whitney Port for our first post!
I love booties, especially Whitney Port's Loeffler Randall Booties. This look is more casual but why not wear a blazer and some booties with rip jeans. Stripes are also perfect for the summer.
How can you get this look:
1. Cuffed Blazer: Forever21 $23 2. Button Shoulder Stripe Top: Forever21 $18 3. American Eagle Woman's Artist Crop Jeans: AE $50 4. Platfrom Buckled Ankle Boots: yesstyle.com $50 6. ASOS Premium Leather Flat Cone Studd Slouch Bag: ASOS.com $76 7. Betsy Johnson Beaded Temple: Urban Outfitters $65
Is there anyone's look that you really love??
