Have you ever fallen in love with an article of clothing just to be disappointed when you looked at the price tag? Ahhhhhh! That is my life. I think in my brain (and eyes) gravitates towards expensive stuff. Like when I go to T.J. Maxx and I’m in the purse section my hands always pick up the nice bags and by nice I mean the more expensive bags like $100+. And I mean always! Anyways (lol), I fell in love with a purple blouse over at ShopBop.com. The shirt is from Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent ($275, whoa so outta my budget, its crazy) and it is so beautiful from the color to the look. It’s very casual yet so sexy. I like how it bunches up at the bottom so you can show off whatever bottoms you are wearing but there is one thing I don’t like…how it’s a little short. If I try to reach for something it will probably expose my midriff. My advice would be, don’t reach for anything and you’ll be ok.

Some purple alternatives below, all under $50:
