Under $100 dollars!?

I have recently been in the depths of costuming the ever popular and overly done "Romeo & Juliet" with which the director wants to set in modern times. I was skeptical in doing so, because it is done soooo much, but through my research of the characters I found this AWESOME website called "Fashion Under $100"!!
One of my guilty pleasures is to look at celebrity fashion, and ooh and aah at the beautiful clothes, hoping one day I can afford a pair of Christian Louboutin heels. I am always a bit humbled at the price tags, and for the life of me I do not understand how the designers can justify charging the exuberant amounts they do. Let alone the celebrities who traipse around in them as if its no big deal they are wearing something so expensive. But I still appreciate their artwork, and think many of them are very talented, and OOOOH the clothes!!!
BUT that is just the reason I am so excited about this new website! The author takes celebrity styles and finds almost perfect matches of the outfit for under $100 dollars! If it's not exactly, it is really close!
I just wanted to give her props for doing what us regular fashion readers only dream of! Now I am inspired! I have a new mission! To attempt my own Under $100, but maybe I can do it for $50! Who knows! I'm just excited to try!
