I’m going to be honest with you — my first thought after watching that Shopaholic film was ‘so this means if I got a credit card, I could have amazing clothes like that too?’

Definitely not the point, as every person I shared my revelation with was quick to point out. But what’s a shopaholic on a limited budget to do? Figure out how to do it on the cheap!  I’ve rounded up some less expensive alternatives to those pricey stores we all love in hopes that we can look super trendy, without being super broke.

      I agree with most of these, but found urban originals *insert heart here* to be more expensive than bp and it seems like they don't have much to offer..

      Good post. I agree with most of the comparisons except for the last one: Banana Republic and Old Navy are vastly different with the exception of a few basics.

      Umm I work at Express and we're not that much cheaper than VS… $70 jeans (minimum), $30 tank tops, $50 cardigans? I don't know, it just doesn't strike me as that much more budget friendly.

      These comparisons are spot-on! I never really thought of some of them before, but they make sense. Props!

      Agreed- they're owned by the same company (Gap Inc. I believe) so it wouldn't make sense for the two brands to be so similar. Plus, BR's quality is far superior to ON.
