Save or Splurge

By ll_davidson

The Fall Edit: from boots to blazers, I’m breaking down my favorite elevated essentials.

$Save or Splurge? 🧐 A classic black penny loafer is the fall wardrobe staple — polished, timeless, and quietly luxe. I own the splurge pair, and they truly are that beautifully made, but this Target version gives such a similar look for a fraction of the price. Save: A New Day “Phyllis” Penny Loafer ($45) — sleek, lightweight, and memory-foam cushioned. A perfect affordable option for every day. Splurge: Christian Louboutin Penny Loafer ($995) — the pair I own and love. Gorgeous high-shine leather, structured shape, and elevated detailing that feels classic and investment-worthy. Both give that chic, preppy, quiet-luxury vibe — so would you save or splurge? ✨ #LTKShoeCrush #LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder50$

Save: Banana Republic Sequin Maxi Skirt ($160) — high-gloss sequins cut on the bias for beautiful drape, with a fully lined pull-on design that moves effortlessly from day to night.

Splurge: Vince “Lucite” Sequin Midi Skirt ($598, Neiman Marcus) — sleek straight silhouette with high-rise fit and luxe sequin detailing that shimmers under every light.
