Butterfly Styles ~ Petite to Plus: A Polyvore Look

For all the Polyvore fans out there, check out this fabulous collection of "designer" pieces I recently created on the site. Yes, all fashionistas add at least 4 or 5 pieces of the newest (or resurrected) styles to their wardrobe each season but lets be real; most working women simply cannot afford to pay $700 for a pair of pumps.

Its true that you get what you pay for, but its also true that "designer" clothes/shoes may be marked up 1000% over their wholesale price. Which brings up the question of what is true value? What makes one orange jersey sweater sell for $75 vs. another one (with a different label) costing $350? For instance look at this beautiful jersey tunic for just $59.95 (a savings of $108 over the light brown DVF designer top #1 below). Soft Surroundings

But we're allowed to dream, and that's where Polyvore comes in; giving anyone on any budget a glimpse into the desginer fashion lifestyle. Think of creating a designer doll clothes collection, but without the doll. Or better yet, imagine working as a stylist for your favorite singer or actor? Yes, some people actually get paid very well to SHOP for a living! Or finally, you could dust off that thing in your head called an "imagination" and pretend these clothes are (from your most recent shopping spree) laying on your bed and you're contemplating that very important decision of what to wear...
