The Look for Less: Marc Jacobs Tulip Skirt

Marc Jacobs is offering a bright blue silk tulip skirt as part of his 2009 Resort Collection.  Cute, right?  And sexy too.  Who wouldn’t want it as a part of her wardrobe?  Well, the hefty price tag of $850 might make you think twice about purchasing this piece, especially in this economic climate.  Well, Chalotte Russe is offering a more affordable version of the skirt.  The Charlotte Russe Satin Skirt is practically the same skirt, right down to the elastic waistband, contrasting black trim, and asymmetrical slit.  The only real difference between the skirts are the prices – the Charlotte Russe one is only $23.
