Hobo or Snob: Moschino Cheap & Chic vs. Primark


Every fashionista worth their salt knows its all about the fruit this summer, today's hobo showdown is between Moschino's Cheap & Chic Lemon print  dress versus Primark's Orange print Fruit dress which has been selling out faster than Ice creams on a hot summer day (very lame I know)

Now God forbid I compare the workmanship and the quality of fabric Moschino Cheap & Chic have used in their dress to that of Primark but at about 97% off the price of  the Moschino Cheap & Chic Lemon fruit dress this Orange Print fruit Primark dress won't took too shabby* (well not for long) in your wardrobe
Moschino Lemon print dress £297 @ My-wardrobe.com
Fruit print dress £9 @ Primark (Check here for closest branches to you)


It even comes in Black

And while on the subject of the fruit print trend, how gorgeous is this £12 Lemon Print scarf from Dorothy Perkins

*depending on how well you maintain your clothes - this in my opinion determines the durability of your clothes,  I have had high street items in my wardrobe that have lasted for over 3 years and counting, and they're still in great condition regardless of how cheap the fabric might have been

Hobo or Snob: Haute Hippie vs. Oasis


Today's edition of Hobo Vs. Snob is between the cool American 'Haute Hippie' fashion line and British high street store Oasis. This Haute Hippie Dress is one of the signature 'Haute Hippie looks' with its Ruffle Trims,  it is also currently available in 3 colours plus I'm inclined to believe it must be one of their top sellers as  the same dress was seen about a year ago on Gossip Girl star Blake Lively while filming the Gossip Girl TV series last summer

I love the way she styled the dress with a slim tan belt, floppy hat and Flat sandals


Now for our Hobo vs. Snob comparison
Haute Hippie 'Take me Now' dress £425 @ net-a-Porter
Oasis Halter Neck midi dress £65 @ Oasis


Both dresses are similar but I prefer the longer length on the Oasis dress, although I'm more in love with the Cobalt Blue hue on the Haute Hippie dress than the Teal colour on the Oasis. That being said at a pocket friendly £65 the Oasis dress is  kind to the eyes as it is on the pocket, have your say people will you be a Hobo and go the Oasis way or be a snob and go the Haute Hippie Way, cast your votes below



What are you?
Hobo (Oasis)
Snob (Haute Hippie)
