Hey all! I've had my eye on this super flouncy + fabulous midi shift from Free People for a while, and in my travels on the interweb (i.e. online shopping) over the past couple of days, I happened to stumble upon a very similar dress over on Forever 21's website... for a fourth of the price! The picture doesn't really do it justice- it sort of looks like there's a loose-pencil-skirt thing happening, but the skirt actually has a fairly nice flare to it. Now, don't get me wrong, I love FP as much as the next gal, and this is a beautiful dress, but after looking at the other items pictured on the FP model (see above), I knew it would be easy to find a match over at F21. So, I did some digging, and this (again, see above) is what I came up with:

So, I did some digging, and this (again, see above) is what I came up with:
FP
Dress: Mille Feuille Dress, in watermelon- $88
Sandals: Second Nature Sandal, in mocha- $68
Hat: Lola Lace Hat, in ivory- $28
Forever 21
Dress: Crepe Woven Midi Dress, in coral- $22.80
Sandals: Must-Have Buckles Sandals, in brown- $32.80
Hat: Keep Cool Straw Sun Hat, in natural/black- $14.80
Bracelets: Classic Double Band Cuff- $7.80, Romantic Open Cuff- $4.80, Geo Cutout Cuff- $4.80
Rings: Twisted Rhinestoned Cross Ring Set- $3.80
*I'm not sure exactly what jewelry is on the FP model, so I just picked a few bangles, cuffs, and rings from F21 that looked "Free People-esque." All jewelry is in gold.
Oh, and let's not forget the Grand Total for the F21 outfit: $91.60
This is actually super awkward because I added it up before to put the "$88" in the collage... but I added one of the $4.80 bracelets twice, instead of the $7.80 cuff... oh well.
So, there you have it! An entire outfit for the same price as the dress that originally inspired it. < Let's just pretend that I did my math right the first time here, for emphasis. Because "an entire outfit for $3 more than" just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Oh, and just in case anyone is curious, the total for the Free People outfit was *whips out calculator phone because math* $184. And that's NOT including the jewelry that I couldn't identify.
Well, that's it!
Until next time, Sallie
