When Cheap is not so Chic...

I'm still on the Elle February issue tip. Creative Director Joe Zee created a high and low look and quized the streets to see if everyday people could tell the difference. The results were fascinating. Of course my eyes zoomed in on the printed jumpsuit story. I was able to figure out which look was more expensive. Can you?

I was so discouraged when I went to the store to purchase the cheaper look. The fabric was so cheap in my hands. I couldn't do it. So I found an alternative above. And yes, that lame look on my face is because I am so over the white walls in my apartment!

  1. Love the trench, Becca! I'm guessing Look A is more expensive? The shoes...
