My loves, to the left you will find French Connection’s stunning Fast Bonny Cotton Dress – the very same one seen hugging the svelte frames of Eva Amurri and Kayla Ewell; on the right take a peek at Charlotte Russe’s sassy Single Shoulder Satin Dress.Though the charming Charlotte Russe piece is constructed out of satin, as opposed to the cozy cotton making up the fabulous French Connection; for $36.50, in comparison to the $172.00 price tag of the French Connection pretty, it is every bit as capable of adding a splash of Old Hollywood Glamour to your wardrobe – at a price that is far more pleasing to one’s bank account!
Will French Connection tempt you into being a big spender, or will Charlotte Russe inspire you to save?
Fashionably yours!

I like the Charlotte Russe one better... but it may be because the model wears it better.
ReplyDeleteI really like the Satin in the CR version much better!! Even though the FC color is just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAnd nothing wrong with being hooked on "Flirtexting" :) That's what makes you perfectly you!
Charlotte Russe for sure! I was shopping there last night and picked up some great accessories that would look great with that dress.
ReplyDeleteI love that you featured a Charlotte Russe item! I haven't been there in ages but now I remember how much and why I love that store. That dress is super cute!
ReplyDeleteI TOTALLY Love the Charlotte Russe one!! It's so pretty! I might go and pick that one up! The French Connection one is not as glamorous I think. Ooo Yeah! =)
ReplyDeleteI actually, find C.R. much more elegant. ..and cheaper.
ReplyDeleteI really like the cheaper one.
ReplyDeleteI'm liking the color of the Charlotte Russe one more than the other, but I like the band around the waist from the French Connection one. Decisions, decisions :D
ReplyDeleteI like the CR one much better!

This cheaper version looks perfect for those holidays coming up.
ReplyDeleteI like the Charlotet Rusee one, but French Connection is not bad either!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the name French connection. :D
XOXO
Charlotte Russe all the way! The FC one looks like it'll wrinkle easily and the CR one doesn't which doesn't seem right considering which is cotton and which is satin but nonetheless...
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this color blue. It looks amazing on everyone and it's such a fun color to wear. I'd go for the Charlotte Russe dress and maybe splurge on some fabulous shoes!

I def like the Charlotte Russe one the best. Does it come in white? I have been looking for a dress like that for my wedding next year.
ReplyDeleteI actually think the Charlotte Russe version looks better, I prefere the shade of blue and am a huuuge fan of satin!!

i actually think the charlotte russe one looks better!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I haven't been to CR in ages!
ReplyDeleteWow for $36 that Charlotte Russe would make a great bridesmaid dress!! I love the one shoulder. I think I might have inspiration for a post! ;) ITS ALMOST THE WEEKEND!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the color of the Charlotte Russe version better. Thrifty, all the way.
ReplyDeleteCall me crazy, but I like the Charlotte Russe one better. I might even try a think little belt with it...sassy shoes a must!
ReplyDeletexoxo,

i would have to say that i like the Frech Collection one better.. the other is pretty too
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Im going with the Charlotte Russe - the bright color of the french connection dress makes the material look cheap. The CR one has a more flattering shade - I also like the volume added by the pleated shoulder. too bad that I cant wear any dress from those types of store (F21, charlotte russe, etc) they are all so short on me! i get envious when my shorter friends can pull it off! ;)
ReplyDeleteI always love the styles you find for your Thursday posts! This one tempts the shopper in me. I love the style. And the price for the Charlotte Russe? Perfection!
ReplyDeleteCute <3
ReplyDeleteIncredible price. What a steal.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the color of the French Connection dress... but who knows if it is like that in person!
ReplyDeleteps - my comments were broken before, but I got them fixed!

I think I like the CR version better! I like the satin, but the color in the french connection is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your sweet blog comments! We were only in Brooklyn briefly to see the bridge, but it seemed awesome and Williamsburg is on my list for next time!
Bisous.
I personally find the CR more appealing- but both offer such a gorgeous, flattering shape.
ReplyDeleteOh and by the way dear, if contemplating between thigh highs and knee highs- definitely go with the thigh highs- they actually elongate the legs more and slenderize them as well, opposed to the knee highs. <3
Ah, great find, love the style and the colour especially-I think I prefer the Charlotte Russe one as it looks better on the model than a mannequin. I wish we had Charlotte Russe over here, she's great !! :) xx
ReplyDeleteI really love the colour of both of the dresses, it reminds me of the late-afternoon skies...
ReplyDeleteBtw, thanks for your comment on my blog, I really appreciate it
xoxo Sootjeelina <3
i like the charlotte russe better, the french connection one looks a bit cheap.
ReplyDeletecheck out my fashion illustrations at http://illustrated-moodboard.blogspot.com/ :)
wow, i wonder if CR was inspired by that dress because they look so similar?!
ReplyDeletei started liking CR better than wet seal because they have a more mature collection : )
great post, thank you!!
Wow, I'm so glad the cheaper one is so pretty. Cool.
ReplyDeleteGirl, I'd save some dough on this one and go with the Charlotte Russe dress! :)
ReplyDeleteI heart the French Connection one -- I'm always drawn to cotton cocktail dresses over jersey or satin.

Hmm I like the Charlotte Russe better, it has some prettier details to it that the French Connection one is lacking; however the FCUK dress' color is better.
ReplyDeleteDespite the color, I actually like the Charlotte Russe one better! I'll have to check the dress out next time I'm there.
ReplyDeleteThe CR dress looks gorgeous! I prefer it and its cheaper too. Just accessorize and voila! you are a queen.
ReplyDeleteThe color on the French Connection dress is just too gorg to pass up! Now if only I hada reason to wear it...
ReplyDeleteAmazing color!
ReplyDeleteLove this so much. The color is amazing. But alas, I have nowhere to wear this lovely frock!
ReplyDeleteI love the Charlotte Russe dress and at a glance I thought it was the expensive one!
ReplyDeleteI'm having a Blog Slumber Party, please come join!!
Oh, that's GORGEOUS! Love, love, love the color blue!
ReplyDeleteNow, on most occassions I would go for the cheaper versions you display. This time however, I must stray. French Connection is one of my fave. place to go for cute affordable dresses (Because I can't afford BCBG dresses) So I'm gonna go with French Connection on this one!
ReplyDeletethat shade is one of my favorites currently & i LOVE one shoulder dresses :)
ReplyDeleteCharolette Russe can really do some amazing pieces! Their quality is a little "meh" but some of my favorite things come from there!
ReplyDeleteYes please to the satin affordable dress!
NO WAY!! I'm pretty sure that my friend most definitely has that dress!
ReplyDeleteBut now... I'm just not sure WHICH ONE. It's my inner-thriftiness calling at me! I hope she got the cheaper one! ;)

Charlotte Russe, definitely. But I really love the single shoulder on both!
ReplyDeleteI Luv the colurs of blue in those dresses, Cafe Fash!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of Cambria Cove - is that in Cambria on the coast?
why is it that the cheaper version almost always look better than the more expensive one? haha.

ReplyDeletei like both of them, but i'd probably go with the CR dress because of the more affordable price.

I am so obsessed with one shouldered dresses right now! I actually like the cheaper version in this case!
ReplyDeleteThe Charlotte Russe dresses looks fabulous! The color is gorgeous too. I love this post because I never seen this brand before. After I saw your post, I clicked on the Charlotte website. There are many gorgeous dresses that I want to buy it. You’re very fashionable. Thanks again!

These blues are such a perfect colour. I really love the Charlotte Russe ones. It's so lovely.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll be among the minority here - I actually like the color of the French Connection dress better! I think the cut of the Charlotte Russe dress is nicer though - the FC dress has a weird waistband bit that I don't like.
