Oh, Kate Spade, Why Do You Continue To Tempt Us?!

Our credit card cut itself up while we were looking at the current Kate Spade collection.

True story.

Budget Kate Spade

As longtime readers know, we here at Huzzah! love Kate Spade pieces (like those pictured in the KS-styled look above) but hate Kate Spade prices, so in honor of the new season we've slapped together a quirky vintage Spring look with all the charm of a KS ensemble and none of the guilt. Happy thrifting, my solvent Readers.

The Look (top L-R):

* Vintage Bombshell Polka Dot Pencil Skirt via Huzzah!

* Black Cotton and Cashmere Crewneck Cardigan via Banana Republic

* Vintage Warner Domed Rhinestone Brooch via BajunaJewelryVintage

* Vintage Yellow Ruffle Ascot Blouse via JuJuFetish

* Vintage Black and White Skinny Belt via MuffinBiscuit

* Handcrafted Rufflette Purse in Plum via TenthStreetSaks

* Vintage 1970s-does-1950s Purple Two-Tone Peeptoes via Catbooks1940s

Because Who Doesn't Want To Look Like Zooey Deschanel?

In case you haven't noticed, we here at HuZzah! love us some color. We also love us some Kate Spade. What we don't like are Kate Spade prices. (We're a bit chintzy like that, you see.) Our low-rent version of KS isn't exactly 'budget,' but it's much less expensive, a bit more sustainable and most likely not made by wage slaves in a Southeast Asian DMZ.

The Look (Top L - R):

Vintage Faux Fur Caplet via persephonevintage

Vintage 1960s Yellow A-Line Dress via oldage

Vintage 1950s Petite Noir Box Purse via Huzzah!
