Save or Splurge: Payless Designer Lines

By -
Payless has several designers creating runway looks at budget prices. If you want shoes and handbags by Christian Siriano, Lela Rose, alice + olivia, or Abeate or can get them at Payless for under $50. The price points are a slightly higher than typical Payless prices and the design is way better. The quality and comfort, however, haven't received that much of an upgrade.

For most trendy items I don't mind buying cheap. I also don't mind attaining my favorite designer's clothing through diffusion lines at budget stores. I do mind uncomfortable shoes. Some of these Payless shoes are actually leather and not too uncomforatle, but others will leave me in pain after a couple hours of wear. If I found a pair of these designer Payless deals that didn't hurt my feet I might "splurge" (it's a splurge to pay that much for low quality shoes).

I guess I'll have to take a trip to Payless to decide if these alice + olivia Biker Boots are worth the $50. (They are partially leather).

Would you save or money or splurge on Payless designer collections?

I'm expecting my Siriano booties to hurt as much as all the other Payless shoes I've tried. If so, I'll return them. But I've got my fingers crossed. They are just too cool not to try.

I might buy them if they're leather. I've been really picky about shoes lately because I've wasted way too much money on cheap shoes.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
