When it comes to bags and shoes I tend to be a bit of a snob. Nothing makes me happier than slipping into a pair of Louboutin's or whatever designer I am obsessed with at the moment. But realistically I am not a trust fund baby, I have a mortgage and I do not use credit cards. I call myself poor in a private plane for a reason. So how do I afford $600 shoes? The answer is simple. I shop a lot but I only buy on sale. When it comes to clothes and trends I shop the bargains so I have money left over for high end classic pieces. Case in point, a few months ago while at Target with DH picking up some ingredients for home made pizza I snuck away to "look at something". That something was the clearance rack where I found something unbelievable. A pair of green skinny jeans which were on clearance for less than 10 bucks. I have been wanting a pair of green skinny jeans but really wasn't interested in spending the money on them since they are so "trendy" and I am saving up for a "classic" Chanel bag. Well the price tag was a whopping $6.88 so of course I had to try those babies on and they fit like a glove. They will go great with my $600 shoes and one day with my Chanel bag. Haha. In true "Poor in a Private Plane" fashion. Here is how I styled them. What do you like to save on and splurge on?
