Name-brand items are very enticing to those in the suburb of Owasso. However, continuing to purchase high-end goods can truly break the bank. Luckily, there are plenty of stores in Owasso to buy high-quality items similar to those in name-brand stores, for a cheaper price.
A classic example that is typically overlooked when people think of buying clothes is Walmart. It is open most hours of the day, is inclusive of all sizes and has affordable prices. Lately, their shoe selection has really stood out. Not only do they carry fuzzy Croc dupes, but they also have black and silver cowgirl boots and my personal favorite– platform Ugg dupes. These shoes are comfortable, practical and stylish.
Aside from Walmart’s shoe selection, its clothes have also stepped up. They have nice cocktail dresses, jeans and sweaters, all similar to clothes you can find at the mall. A popular section of apparel is their athleisure. There is a large selection of great leggings, jackets, sweatpants and even a Lululemon Define Jacket dupe.
Target is another great option in Owasso for finding good quality clothing at an affordable price. They carry a bag similar to Lululemon’s Belt Bag. More comparable Lululemon items include their athletic shorts, which are dupes of the Hotty Hot shorts, seamless leggings, which are Align legging dupes and their bodysuit, which is similar to the Align Ribbed bodysuit. All of these items are great quality for their price and just as cute.
On the mid-range of clothing costs, there is Old Navy. Their style of clothing is somewhat perceived as “elevated basics,” where they do not necessarily have big statement pieces but timeless wardrobe staples. They have a great selection of jeans comparable to those at American Eagle. The sweaters at Old Navy are incredibly soft and beautiful, most similar to pieces from Aerie. A great item they carry is their straight-leg sweatpants and matching quarter-zip top, which are dupes for the Lululemon Softstreme sweatpants and Scuba Quarter-zip. Old Navy’s prices are more expensive than Target and Walmart's but are still noticeably smaller than the original brand while still keeping good quality.
Away from clothing, E.L.F Cosmetics continues to produce dupes of high-quality products. A product that has become increasingly popular lately, Clinique’s Black Honey Almost Lipstick is very comparable to the Black Cherry Sheer Slick Lipstick from E.L.F. Another duplicate is the Clear Brow Gel, which is similar to the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze. E.L.F’s lip oil is a smooth, glossy dupe of the expensive Dior lip oil.
It is in human nature to splurge every now and then, but making smart financial decisions is more important. Opting for a more affordable option that is just as stylish can save hard-earned money while still allowing you to purchase the items on your wishlist.
