Dresses: Cheap Find



  Who doesn't like to shop smart? I love shopping, but it doesn't mean that I have to spend huge portions of my paycheck or credit card line(s) to get the looks I want all the time. Featured above are two different dresses from two different places. The picture on the left is a DVF dress that retails for $345 (also comes in a lovely, basic black), and the dress featured on the right is my pick, the Forever21 boutique mesh overlay dress in olive that retails for about $24. Now, you tell me which is better?

Although, I do have to say the materials are different, but I tried on the Forever21 find, and I am absolutely impressed. It looks well over a dress that costs $24, and it fits adorably. You can pair it with your favorite boots or pumps, and the color is great to layer with fall colors. You can easily put that extra money saved towards a staple must-have piece, or just save it, ladies. We all should know fashion should never compromise your financial stability. Right? If you absolutely love something though, I say you will find a way to make it work.

I will not attest that I have always followed those guidelines though. We live and we learn. *wink*
