Similar????

So I have been hunting around trying to help those of you who are on a budget at this time of year.  I know what that is like being a fairly new stay at home mom and the wife of a fairly new business owner...we are on a budget is kind of an understatement:)  Sooo...Like all good girls I like to shop around to get the best prices. So today I was shopping around for two of Anthropologie's newer dresses to see if I couldn't find a less expensive option for you.   Here is what I came up with...

Irresistible Maxi Dress
$178 - anthropologie.com
Maxi dresses »


Long - Dresses - Anthropologie.com
$138 - anthropologie.com


30 GBP - asos.com


The Honor Gold Dress link isn't working correctly...so here is one I embedded myself... Honor Gold Dress

The Michael Stars Christy dress is currently being sold at 6pm for $54.40 Link here. If like myself I love the new colors, fabrics etc that are coming out during the spring and summer, especially the teals and pinks...I don't know what it is about those colors that make me feel happy but they do!  Anyway...if you can't afford some of the new trends, email me and I will see if I can't find something similar for you.  

I also had some trouble finding a quality kimono dress that wasn't more than $100-.  Target always has their cotton, cinched waisted dresses but that wasn't what I was looking for.  A friend wore a beautiful pink kimono dress, belted with jeans and it was just stunning.  So I immediately inquired where she got the number.  Well...I have to say...it was beautiful but on sale for over $300-. I can't do that.  But I looked around and found that these dresses seem to be limited either to high end shops or to low end cotton numbers.  Odd...where is the middle range?  Where are the sales?  So here is what I found that was similar...not the same but the look was...ehhh well...not exactly but sort of;)  




So that is it for today...Hope you have a great Tuesday!!!
