Sunday Steals: James Perse Knit Dress for Less

Kitty cats, in the left corner take a peek at James Perse’s pretty Knit Dress; now, if you’ll cast your kohl-rimmed peepers to the right, prepare yourself to swoon over ASOS’ blissful Body-Conscious Dress with Scoop Neck in Black.

Though the ambrosial ASOS piece is ever so slightly more fitted than its higher-priced counterpart; for just $34.48, in comparison to the $135.00 required to add the James Perse gem to one’s wardrobe, it is le quintessential way for the frugalista to scoop up high-fashion style on a budget – and still have enough spare change to pick up not one, not two, but all three stellar shades (Black, Red, and Purple)!

What’s your stand, lovers…will you splurge, or save?

Sunday Steals: Rachel Pally Diamond Keyhole Long Dress for Less

Kitty cats, cast your gorgeous gaze to the left and you will find Rachel Pally’s darling Diamond Keyhole Dress in Black; now, if you’ll turn to the right, you will find ASOS’ pretty Padded Keyhole Front Grecian Maxi Dress.

Though the ambrosial ASOS features sophisticated split shoestring halterneck straps, as opposed to the simple spaghetti straps of the posh Pally; for a mere $51.72, in comparison to the $238.00 needed to add the sparkling Diamond to your wardrobe, it is the perfect compromise for the cheap chica looking to maintain marvelous style on a budget!
