Splurge or Steal - Silk Blouse

Here's my sunday wants. I am a sucker for botton down shirt. Most especially the shirt made of silk. To me it does gives you a look of sophistication and chic however you style it. I love this number from Equipment but it is not want my checkbook wants. The Victoria Secret is much more budget friendly ! Picture 1 is 100% silk and picture 2 is also made of silk although the VS website did not specify the material composition. By the way both are "dry clean" only ! It depends on what you are looking for and what are you willing to pay for. By looking at both photos, can you even tell the difference? Readers which team are you - Splurge or Steal? Thank you so much for your time. xo xo

Splurge or a Steal?

I been coveting these Equipment silk blouse for sometime. Why? I don't have one yet in my closet and I been liking stripes lately. Also these print is not just trendy, it is always on trend which is a good thing. What makes it different from the cheaper ones, well made ! However, I am a day late and a dollar short, the popular blouse was sold out now ! It went on sale from $209 to $83.60. Just my luck.  Last night I found the duplicate from F21.
