Who remembers Bossy’s friend, that ridiculous Rachel Zoe?

She’s the celebrity stylist whose life is documented in the Bravo series The Rachel Zoe Project, but sister mercy she also has a newsletter.

This newsletter, delivered by email, highlights the items Rachel Zoe thinks you should have in your own closet. But just in case you don’t have a hangdog husband Rodger who waits back in the hotel room while you go on a shopping spree with the Gay du Jour and then attempt to hide your exorbitant purchases, Rachel Zoe also gives you a parallel universe option which costs less, where less equals:

Shall we? Rachel Zoe thinks you need this dress:

It’s Alexander Wang’s Asymmetrical Sweatshirt Dress, but Rachel Zoe refers to it as a  Gym Class Hero Dress, probably because it looks like something you could wear to the gym, which is why it costs $650.

But just in case you can’t afford the designer version, Rachel Zoe offers this as her parallel universe option:

Alexander Wang, this parallel universe dress retails for $95. Which is why Bossy scoured the internet and would like to offer you the following Gym Class Hero Dress option:

Next, Rachel Zoe wants you to invest in this:

It’s Phillip Lim’s Double Breasted Blazer and Guru Pants and it costs $870. But if you can’t afford a mortgage payment to look like you’re wearing your Uncle Henry’s clothes, Rachel Zoe offers the following parallel universe option:

Next Rachel Zoe wants you to have this:

It’s Oscar de la Renta’s Crystal Bolero which costs $7990, which Rachel Zoe thinks is worth it because don’t you know layers are good any time of year? even though Bossy didn’t realize tulle with crystals amounts to a layer. But if you can’t afford it, Rachel Zoe offers this parallel universe item:

But in case you don’t feel you can afford this $68 parallel universe sequined cardigan, Bossy offers the following parallel universe’s parallel universe option:

 

You can find Bossy over at her place, i am bossy. Don't even knock, she's always there.

She picks nice shoes. But they're too friggin' expensive! I'm shopping at The Gap lady, not Neiman Marcus!

I honestly think Rachel Zoe's parallel universe is her intern's own closet. This is the cruelty of the "affordable option" post. The cheaper version is never the same as the gorgeous 1st choice, which is not even in the price realm to sneek by my unknowing husband! One afternoon of Rachel Zoe shopping and the bank would have called my husband before I even got back to the hotel!

Your point is well taken. There really IS  affordable stylishness out there. Obviously, Ms. Zoe is not the one to help you find it!
