Tightwad Tuesday: Joie Phineas Velvet Blazer on a Budget

Darlings, in the left corner feast your eyes on Joie’s fantastical Phineas Velvet Blazer; to the right take a peek at Halogen’s luxurious Liquid Velvet Jacket.

Though, like the Joie offering, the haute Halogen piece is constructed out of a viscose rayon/silk blend, it sports a two-button closure, whereas the Joie showcases an open placket. Despite the ever so slight difference; for just $138.00, as opposed to the $388.00 asking price of the jewel-like Joie, the Halogen pretty allows one to add a smattering of high-fashion velvet loveliness to their wardrobe, at a price that is fit for the budget babe!

Is today the day for you to please the big spender within; or will you play it cool and be thrifty?


Fashionably yours!
