Mes chers, on the left we have David Lerner’s luscious Lace Dress; to the right we have Candie’s lovely Lace Bandage Dress courtesy of Kohl’s.While the lace detailing seen on the Candie’s creation is a hue that matches the overall construction of the dress, as opposed to a contrasting color a la the Lerner lovely; for a mere $28.80, in comparison to the $220.00 required to call the Lerner original your own, it harbors the very same ability to make the wearer turn heads – at a price that doesn’t make one cringe!
Tell me, kittens…will you be a big spender and go for David Lerner, or be thrifty and spring for Candie’s?
Fashionably yours!
Thanks to Revolve Clothing and Kohl’s for the pictures.

Ooo Soo buying the Kohl's one!! Also if you spend $50 you get $10 Kohl bucks back!! hehe. =)
ReplyDeleteThe other day on Oprah they had a man showing twins with the thrifty outfit & the expensive outfit! It made me think of you! I've learned so much from this!! =) Thanks as always dear!
I have to say I like the more expensive one in this case! And the OPI nail polish is Manicurist of Seville.
ReplyDeletewow this is a great find!! and sooo much cheaper!!
ReplyDeleteWhoa- Candie's still exist??? And I do always love the cheaper version. Great comparison!
ReplyDeletei really love the lacy bit ^__^
ReplyDeletei'll go with thrifty. they look so similar. love it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't bought anything Candie's in YEARS!! Well, I guess I actually haven't been to a Kohls in years. Lol. This dress couldn't be more of a deadringer. I can't imagine anyone wanting to buy the more expensive version after seeing this comparison! :)
ReplyDeletePS. I love you. Just had to throw that out there. Hehe. :P
There's barely a difference! Thrift me in!
ReplyDeleteAmazing find, darl!
ReplyDeleteWill definitely be thrifty on this one!
xoxox,

You always find such great items!! xoxo
ReplyDeletewow amazing find darling! only $28? wow! xo
ReplyDeleteI love Candies! That dress can be worn as really dressy or laid back, love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great match! I love it.

They are so similar! thrifty :)
ReplyDeleteThey look esactly the same to me, so I will go thrifty!
ReplyDeleteI would like to invite you to join my **Interactive Halloween Party**, come, come, I promise I won't bite, I'm not a vampire... or am I ...? eery music....
I'd definitely cash out for the expensive one, if I had an important event to wear it to lol. I'm not a fan of Candie's brand=P
ReplyDeleteI'd splurge. Candies seems Junior's Dept, even if it isn't, so on principal I would go with the splurge because I gave up the junior's department when on my 23rd bday.

I so love Kohl's candie's..and my Mom likes to shop there too.
ReplyDeletegorgeous....
ReplyDeletexoxo
Definitely the Kohls!! And I think I might head over and pick it up!!
ReplyDeleteTotally love them!
ReplyDeleteƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Wow, those two compare really well. For me, it'd come down to whether I have an important event to which I'd like to wear (in which case I'd go for the David Lerner... otherwise, Kohl's all the way).
ReplyDeleteIf I saw two women wearing those dresses side by side, I'd honestly have no clue that they were different.
ReplyDeleteThat's a perfect dress for the upcoming holidays! And they really do look so similar!
ReplyDeletehttp://goldandcitrus.com/blogs/blog
Definitely the Candie's, and with the price difference, I'll find a little jacket to go with it :)
ReplyDeleteIf the Candie's fit anywhere near as close as the Lerner I'd give it a try. I do love David Lerner!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I cannot wait to see your collection. Do you think you can get it all piled up by the New Year? hehe
xoxo,
Carrie
I love them both so I'd go for the cheaper one.
ReplyDeleteCandie's! LOVE the black and lace!
ReplyDelete$220 vs $28.50 for something that looks so similar?? amazing!
ReplyDeletedefinitely, maybe
this is such a great knock-off!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great find! and OMG! price difference!
ReplyDeleteI love the Kohl's one. It looks a little sexier than the more expensive one. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI don't know which one to get. It's a black dress, and to me, black dresses are usually splurges. However, there's a bit of trend in it too. Also, I think I'm a little too old for Candie's.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad there is a cheaper version!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a pretty and classy style. Love them both!
ReplyDeleteThey really are just about identical. It looks so much better on the human model though, doesn't it? But I guess for a 10th of the cost, I'm thinking Candie's.
ReplyDeleteDahhhh! Your such a genius!!!!!
ReplyDeletei actually like the candie's one better, so i'd definitely be thrifty!
ReplyDeleteyea they look pretty much the same, but i like the way the Lerner dress looks here because it's on a real person.
ReplyDeletehttp://ohtobeamuse.com
very nice dress!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like both.
ReplyDeleteI am going to get the Candie's version right now! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteWow! Great find! I can't tell the difference -- except in the price. xo style, she wrote
ReplyDeleteHi!! You've got a "present" in my blog. I hope you like it. Come for it when you can.
ReplyDeleteKisses
Mary
love them both, I'd take the candies dress!
ReplyDeletexoxo
I'd go Lerner! It looks nice and I'm not a huge fan of Candie's... plus the price for a quality LBD isn't bad at all. I love this style in general, you are insane at finding these!
ReplyDeleteHmm. I think you can tell which one is more is expensive but seeing as I'm not in the position to just shop as I please I'd go for the Candie dress! It looks well-made and is cute, too.
ReplyDeleteQuench Fab
lovely!!! i've been wanting a dress with some lace..
ReplyDeletehttp://sweetlittleconfessions.blogspot.com/
I love both of these equally! Either one will work!

Awesome............... Wowwwwwwwwwww!!
ReplyDeleteI like both dress but I love Candie's one.
They're such beautiful dresses. I love the lace detailing. They're so similar though, so I'm definitely picking the cheaper option.
ReplyDeleteThe cheaper one for me ! Hahaha
ReplyDeleteI like the Lerner -- gotta have some blue and black :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
I really love the lace on these dresses. It's so pretty! But they look so similar, so I have to go for the Candie's version!
ReplyDeletethrifty all the way!
ReplyDeletethrifty all the way!
ReplyDeleteOh, I like. Sexy, sassy, and classy!
ReplyDeleteThose dresses are so pretty! I guess I'll just have to go thrifty on this one, even if I don't really like Kohl's Candies line.
ReplyDeleteI just love finding steals on great or similar products. Everything doesn't HAVE to be outrageously expensive.
