Thrifty Thursday: Black Halo Classic Jackie O Dress for Less

Lovers, to the left we have Black Halo’s tres chic Classic Jackie O Dress; to the right we have ModCloth’s sassy Style Me Now Dress.

Though the Style Me Now Dress is a nautical navy hue, as opposed to the black shade of the haute Halo; for a mere $64.99, in comparison to the $345.00 needed to add the Black Halo beauty to your flirty frock collection, it allows one to add presidential style to their wardrobe – on a frugalista budget!

Tell me, kittens…will you be a big spender and go for Black Halo, or be thrifty and spring for ModCloth?


Fashionably yours!

AMAZING find! but I am so not the big spender! definitely the $64.99 is more in my range :) have a great day!

Unknown said...

I really like the ModCloth version. That Navy Blue is awesome, as is the shorter hemline. Have a good day, E.

It'd have to be the Black Halo. I can't imagine channeling Jackie O on a budget. Better fabric and the longer hemline is a necessity.

OMG!! I heart you!! I've been eyeing this Halo Dress since I saw Amanda wear it on Ugly Betty! Not to mention, I love how the Halo dresses look on pear-shaped gal (like America Ferrera)! So I'm stoked that you found a less expensive alternative!!!

BTW - You will get your magazine one day! You have what it takes! xoxo

Rachel @ The Haute Notes said...

Both of these dresses are so classic and gorgeous. But I'm gonna go with the ModCloth one because of the shorter hemline! :)

That's a great price for that Halo dress. Just what's needed for all those party-times and what not.

Rocio said...

Definitely the Mod Cloth; the price is totally reasonable=)

such a sweet dress for so many occasions. I'd go for the cheaper one. of course.

Joanne said...

Definitely the Black Halo on this one. For me, I think it looks much better with that longer length. And it's a classic piece, a definite staple in the wardrobe.
