Tightwad Tuesday: Kardashians for bebe One Shoulder Pleated Dress for Less

Dolls, to the left you’ll find the irresistible Kardashians by bebe One Shoulder Pleated Dress; to the right you’ll spot Shock Boutique’s blissful Exaggerated One Shoulder Little Black Dress.

While the sassy Shock Boutique number lacks the exposed zipper along the back, so prevalent on the Kardashian creation; for a mere $42.00, in comparison to the $129.00 asking price of Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney’s avant-garde frock, it is every bit as capable as wowing your many admirers – at a fraction of the cost!

Tell me, kittens…will you be a big spender and go for Kardashians by bebe, or be thrifty and spring for Shock Boutique?


Fashionably yours!


Thanks to bebe and Shock Boutique for the pictures.

    although the shock boutique version is pretty, I am especially in love with the drapped part of the kardash-version ... 129,- isn't cheap but then again its not out of the world for a gorgeous LBD :) i would splurge!

    I'd go for the Shock dress because it isn't something I, or most people, could get a ton of wear out of. I'd rather spend upwards of $100 on something I know I'll get to use all the time. That's too trendy for a splurge in my opinion.

    Where have I been? I did not know that the Kardashian girls had a line for Bebe. I really need to go back into that store and check it out. Except Bebe is a little too expensive for my taste.

    I agree with Vicky, I'm digging the drapped bottom on the Kardashian piece too!! But it's Bebe, I'm sure it will go on sale in no time ;o)

    Such a pretty dress! I can totally imagine Kim wearing this (or maybe I've even seen her wearing it). They look the same though, so I'd go for the cheaper one.

    So gorgeous! The Kardashians dress looks slightly more elegant and for a fancy event, whereas the Shock Boutique looks more casual or a fun party dress, but just as cute. Love them both, great find!

    This one, my dear, I'd cheap out on. I actually like it better, to be perfectly honest. It's less distracting on the model.

    That, and I couldn't bring myself to wear anything by the Kardashians. I'm just not a fan.
