Splurge vs Save

I love a good pair of stud earrings and when I saw this pair, I know that I want to have it. I am talking about the Mise en dior tribal earrings from Dior's. She's a beauty, delicate, and has a very unique design approach that does the opposite in terms of construction. This pearl earrings worn unconventional way is right about my alley. Definitely I must say not your usual pearl earrings that we are accustomed to wearing. It feels like you are wearing it backwards. Even though I am keen into getting the Dior of course, I am as happy to get a cheaper version from Bauble Bar. It fits my budget at the moment and it kinda satisfy my cravings. Also my husband made a point that made me decide to get the designer inspired piece, he says no one knows it is Dior unless you tell people otherwise.
Since this is a custom jewelry, the hefty price is something to be considered. This is a "splurge" vs "save" campaign that I recently participated. 
For the fraction of the price of the original version, these inspired one's were as good enough if you are fashionista on a budget. From every celebrities that I have seen wearing it and other fellow bloggers, I can say that this is the "it" earrings at the moment. 
So what are you? Splurge or Save?
Happy Wednesday everyone.
Thank you from the heart.
xoxo
Sam



Bauble Bar's version retails for $28

    I agree with your husband no one will know it is Dior unless you tell them. The save looks just like the splurge.

    For something this trendy, definitely the "save" for now! I don't think they're classic, but if they stick around, maaaaybe I'd consider something less costume-y.
