Doppelganger

Doppelganger Via Boston Bus Ride

June 7, 2012

As I am writing this, I am on the bus headed back down to New York City.  I really enjoyed Concord–it’s so beautiful there, I love the history, and the colonial architecture is amazing to see! Boston, on the other hand, was okay. Maybe I didn’t see great spots around the city, but it didn’t do much for me…. “Been there, done that!” sort of thing.

For fun, I did another “Doppelganger” post. I found high fashion items that are similar to items I am selling in The Curvy Elle Shop. This is to show a comparison to what is out there for a more affordable price and in bigger sizes.

The dress on the left is a Blue Printed Dress By Tory Burch, it costs $459.00 and comes in sizes 0-10.
My dress on the right is a Plus Size Vintage Blue & Purple Floral Jersey Dress it is $29.00 and is a large size 14.
The skirt on the left is a Rust Belted Swing Skirt by Salvatore Ferragamo.  It retails for $935.00 and comes in sizes 2-10.
My skirt on the right is Vintage Plus Size Red 6-Gore Circle Midi Skirt. It is being sold for $18.00 and is size 2X.
The blouse on the left is a Floral Print Top by DSquared. It sells for $585.00 and comes in sizes 0-10.
My blouse on the right is a Plus Size Vintage Floral Print Top for $13.00 and is size 20W.

Doppelganger

May 31, 2012

Merriam-Websters’ Dictionary defines ‘doppelganger‘ as “someone who looks like someone else.”

For kicks I decided to find some famous (fashion wise) doppelgangers for my shop items at The Curvy Elle Shop! What I mean by this is: I found fashion apparel items that are currently being sold at retailers that look similar to my items I am selling.

I wanted to prove to those girls out there that think they can never look the part, afford, or fit in designer brands, that you can still look the part at any size or any price point!

The dress on the left is the “Maggie” dress by Reiss, which retails for $425 and is only available for sizes 0-10. My dress is a Vintage Plus Size Cream Colored Dress that I am currently selling for $26.00.

The jacket on the left is the Colton Drape Lapel Jacket” by Alice + Olivia which retails for $795 and is available in sizes XS-L. My version is a Plus Size Vintage Over-Sized Turquoise Open Front Dolmen Sleeve Blazer which I am selling for $24.00.

This is a plaid/gingham skirt called “Taos Plaid Maxi Skirt” by Michael Kors. It retails for $2,995 and is available in sizes 2-12. The skirt that I am selling is a Plus Size Vintage Plaid Pleated Midi Skirt is a Size 14 and I am selling it for $19.00.

This Lanvin “Boucle Tweed Jacket” retails for $4,425 and is available in sizes 2-10.  My version is a Plus Size Vintage White Bouclé Open Front Jacket  in Size 16 that I am selling for a mere $24.00.
