want or get - neon bag

Want - Proenza Schouler PS1 Large Chain Wallet Leather
Get - Miss Shop Tab Front Cross Body Bag

When shopping, there's nothing better than scoring an amazing designer bag for a fraction of it's original price.  Especially if it's a classic (Marc Jacobs' Classic Q Hillier Hobo bag, anyone?).  But when it comes to trendy pieces, like neon bags, why go for the designer when you can get a similar one for much cheaper (unless the designer bag is on sale and you can figure out a way to make it work with your outfits for the rest of your life).  Personally, I prefer saving money when purchasing items that are "in" and then splurging on those that will last me a lifetime (although, I do love this Proenza bag...).
