Fashion designers are people too.

And they understand your plight!

The fashion industry can sometimes come off as trite, obnoxious and overly self-confident... but, I mean let's be honest, who doesn't at times? We all need to be a little selfish. Otherwise, how would we ever accomplish anything!? And if anyone tells you its not OK to think of yourself ahead of others sometimes, I give you permission to throw a drink in their face. Preferably not my Pinot, but if the situation calls for it... anyway, I digress, I digress.

The point is, many fashion designers are starting to think of the consumer's wallet and not just our impeccable fashion sense. Below are three designers who have created fashion lines exclusively for the money-conscious buyer. Ahhhhh, its refreshing to know that great style and chic self expression can always be affordable :-)

Jean Paul Gaultier for Target

Jean Paul Gaultier for Target® Necklace Sleeveless Top - Black - Love love love this simple black top and its only $24.99 (what??). It can be worn with light denim jeans, silver bangles and flats for a casual night out with the girls or jazzed up with dark skinny jeans, gaudy silver earrings and platform heels for a Saturday night date! But do not pile on the jewelry with this top! The added silver chain on the neckline brings just enough dazzle to support one more piece of jewelry. Heed my warning or else run the risk of looking cheesy and desperate for attention... I'm just being honest!

Isaac Mizrahi for QVC

Isaac Mizrahi - Perfect Crystal Bracelet in Silver - This bracelet has everything and -gasp- its $44.00! It glitzes, it shines, its just the right size. Pile two together and you instantly have a super chic look for less.

 Isaac Mizrahi - Perfect Crystal Ring in Silver - I'm sorry, you have the matching ring? Ah-mazing! Wear this on the opposite hand of the bracelets to complete your ultra glam ensemble!

 

Jimmy Choo for H&M

All hail Jimmy Choo designers for creating a Drop. Dead. Gorgeous shoe line for H&M. Usually priced between $600 and $2500, these shoes can now be found for under $129 at any H&M! Since H&M doesn't have an online shopping website (what is this, the dark ages??), it has been difficult to acquire images, but never fear Sisters, check this out:

Ummmmmm, I think this is where I thank the oh-so-generous Goddess of Fabulous Footwear for her contribution to mankind.

And that, my beautiful Sisters, will round out my post for this week. If you haven't already noticed, everything you've seen here can be worn together for the ultimate fashion statement :-)
