I love fragrance and I also have love for fashion and style. Spring is often a time when I do a bit of closet cleaning to make way for new pieces. It is often around this time that I start looking for light, floral fragrances to replace the heavier, woody and spicy fragrances of winter. Smelling good and looking good can be expensive and I need to find Spring Ready Fragrance and Fashion on a Budget. So, when Designer Imposters sent me $100 gift card to put together spring fashion and fragrance essentials, I was up for the challenge. Designer Imposters makes replicas of popular designer fragrances and sells them for a fraction of the cost of the original.
I selected the Designer Imposters Wanna Play, which is a version of Clinique Happy. It smells exactly the same as the original and cost only $3.99. The perfume is in aerosol form so it doesn’t wear as long as the original. However, to extend the wear I sprayed it on my body immediately after showering and drying myself and added another layer after moisturizing.
Anyway, since my fragrance cost only $3.99, I had the lion’s share of my budget to shop for clothes. I’m generally a budget shopper so getting multiple items for just under a $100 was pretty easy. Here’s what I bought… [I apologize in advance for the dining room pictures :)]
High Waisted Skinnies Jeans , versatile, comfortable and flattering on curves…of which I have many. $16.80 (Similar here and here)
Neutral Peep Toe Booties perfect for this transitioning weather. Wear with jeans, dresses and shorts and since it is a neutral tone it can be worn with just about any color or print. $39.99 (Similar here)
Mixed Print Light-Weight Asymmetrical Kimono can be worn over jeans, dresses, shorts and even bathing suits. $19.99 (Similar here and here)
Basic Black Dress is a must no matter the season. I selected a midi dress because I am still waiting for my summer knees to come in. $19.99 (Similar here)
If you are good at math you probably calculated that my fashion purchases totalled $96.77! This left me with enough to get a coffee at my local coffee shop. So, here’s the bottom line…if you are on a tight budget and want to look and smell great, consider one of the Designer Imposters fragrances, they smell exactly like the original and cost very little.
