If I could spend my afternoons purchasing D&G dresses, Hermès ceramic bracelets, and slick Theory blazers, I would never frown again. Since I can’t afford to do this, I have resorted to flipping through magazines to get my fashion fix. But while I love spending time with my closest companions (Vogue, Marie Claire, and InStyle), they always leave me unsatisfied, tempting me with glossy pages full of fancy frocks I can’t afford (while I feel deserving of designer indulgences, my piggy bank feels differently). This dilemma inspired me to put together a list of designer duds for spoiling myself without any guilty feelings. No matter how deep my pockets are, I should be able to dabble in a little designer fun (and of course, you should too!). After the jump, 10 fabulous, wallet-friendly purchases that will help satisfy your designer sweet tooth.
