Every savvychic woman has one friend who is a brand snob. That one girl who might say she loves your top but immediately after you mentioned you bought it on sale at the mall and not at shopbop.com spending half your paycheck she changes her mind saying it looks cheap. That one girl who swears that brand clothing makes all the difference and she wouldn't be caught dead in something that doesn't have a high end label. It is with those girls that I like to play a little game called The Guessing Game.
The rules are simple. You lay out a few like items in front of her. Some are expensive brand name pieces and others are cheaper versions. Will she be able to tell which one is the one she would buy or will she like the one she wouldn't be caught with?
I thought the game was appropriate with the new trendy headbands. Headbands were evident in all sizes on runways for next season. Thick ones or thin ones with bows à la Blair Waldorf, they're great for putting back those untrimmed bangs that keep falling in your eyes or just for adding to an outfit, they come in cheap and extra pricey. Since there's not much room for error in gluing a piece of fabric to a plastic band, however, differences are hard to spot.
Take a guess and then check your answers with the prices below.
