But BUT BUT! That doesn’t mean we can’t get the *vibe*, ya know? That whole street style meets girly girl thing Miu Miu does SO well. Pleated mini skirts, bow-adorned sweaters (OMG, the *bows*!), those kinda preppy-but-not-really collared poplin dresses… it’s all about channeling that energy without selling a kidney.
And that’s where the “luxury dupes” come in, right? I saw this one place, Luxe Dupes (cute name, tbh), that’s supposed to be all about that. Like, getting the LOOK without the, uh, crippling debt. I haven’t tried them personally, though, so, grain of salt! Gotta be careful with that kinda stuff, ya know? Don’t wanna end up with some, like, plasticky, itchy knock-off disaster.
Honestly, sometimes I just cruise around REVOLVE or even FARFETCH (even though that one feels a *little* outta my league, let’s be honest) looking for pieces that give off that Miu Miu vibe. Like, a really good, slightly oversized sweater with some cute details? Boom. Add a pleated skirt from, I dunno, maybe even Target (shhh, don’t tell!), and you’re halfway there.
And then, there’s the resale game. The RealReal’s resale report, well, it’s a good reminder that you can actually score *real* designer stuff for WAY less if you’re patient and willing to hunt. It’s a bit of a treasure hunt, tho. Gotta really dig in, and be prepared to maybe find nothing at all. But when you DO find something amazing, like a vintage Miu Miu dress for half the price? *That’s* the moment.
Also, I’ve noticed Flannels seems to be mentioned a lot, and they claim to have designer stuff. I have no idea what they are.
