The idea for this post sprouted when I was just walking around in a Zara store and saw a shirt that looked suspiciously like one I'd seen so many times from Louis Vuitton's spring 2012 collection. This got me thinking about if there are any other designer twins in their store. I stalked their website for a good few hours, scouring their entire inventory for look-alikes. It turns out I'd struck gold, guys! Pure freaking gold! Well, not really, because gold is too expensive for Zara. ...That's kind of the point.
You know that I rarely shop at stores that sell clothing at full price (I either shop during sale season or I go to thrift stores, or my mom's closet), so I could never imagine buying a brand name designer garment when I could buy something nearly as good for about one-billionth of the price.

The resemblances are incredible. All of the Zara clothing can be purchased on their website or in-store if you're old-fashioned (kidding; shopping at stores will never be considered old-fashioned...I hope). Disclaimer: this is not a sponsored post for Zara or anything, I just really like their clothes. Ain't no shame in that.
This weekend is zipping by, isn't it? So classic of time to make the school week go by mega slow and then have my two days of freedom disappear in an instant. Shucks, man. Rough.
Enjoy the remainder of your weekend.
Very interesting. I saw at least two things that I want to buy! Thanks for scoping this out Odelia.
