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!

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

  3. 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.

  6. 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
