Frugal Finds: Bandleader Vest and Mesh Zodiac Tee

I’m loving these two frugal finds, but am torn about whether or not to get them. First there’s the Target Bandleader Vest ($34.99), which has been getting a done of hype lately and then there’s the Target Mesh Zodiac Tee ($19.99). Both are wholly wearable, fun, casual finds. The only pitfall — while I’m all about fast fashion, I’m completely averse to designer knock-offs. The Bandleader Vest is clearly inspired by this Balmain number and the Mesh Zodiac Tee keeps making me think of this Alexander Wang sweater. Obviously both are not as fabulous as their originals — not even close — but for the price would you consider getting them over the originals (especially the Balmain jacket which is selling for over $11,000!)?
