High and Low

I have a confession to make. Half of this outfit is from Forever 21. Most of you who know me know that I absolutely HATE Forever 21. Well at least I used to.  A few months back while browsing some online sale sites I stumbled across an ad for 50% all clearance. Well you know I had to take a look and it resulted in me making a few purchases. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised when I got my goods. I am not exactly going to run to my closest Forever 21 and buy the whole store but I am willing to keep an open mind moving forward.

The craziest thing about this outfit is that the clothes cost me probably a tenth of what I paid for the boots. This is a classic example of mixing high and lows. The blazer and shirt are from Forever 21 and I probably spent about $15 bucks on both pieces. The jeans are JBrand which can retail for up to $200 a pop but I got them on sale at Barney's Outlet for under $30 (which was the deal of the century). Unfortunately I did not get a deal on the boots and we will not discuss how much they cost but all you have to know is that I saved up for several months to get them. (And they are worth every penny). 

Do you mix high and low? Do you tend to shop the same stores and brands?
