Dolls, to the left allow your eyes to graze over the beauty that is Rebecca Taylor’s Bustier Combo Dress; to the right prepare yourself to fall in love with Charlotte Russe’s sophisticated Solid Navy Dress with Chiffon Bust.Though the charming Charlotte Russe selection lacks the fluttering cap sleeves of the tantalizing Taylor, and proffers an exposed back zipper to toughen up an otherwise feminine look; for just $34.50, in comparison to the $350.00 needed to scoop up Taylor’s tempting frock, it is the ideal way for the fashionista that is vous to add a little haute couture style to her closet – on a frugalista budget!
Your turn loves…will you be thrifty or suckered into putting on your spendthrift cap?
Fashionably yours!

Charlotte Russe looks like a better fit and color, I'd choose that.
ReplyDeleteI usually go for the less expensive version because I am a frugal fashionista, but I have to say I love the Rebecca Taylor dress 100x more than the Charlotte Russe dress.
ReplyDeleteI love the shape of the Charlotte Russe, better.
ReplyDeleteI do love the style of the CR.
ReplyDeleteThat dress is actually so cute! I'll take either!
ReplyDeleteCharlotte does it amazing this time!
ReplyDeleteSo love the CR style of this.
ReplyDeleteI like the visual appearance of the Rebecca Taylor better, plus it's a little longer than the Russe, so I'm spending today ...
ReplyDeleteI am sure the Rebecca Taylor one is better quality, but the Charlotte Russe one is my pick.
ReplyDeletei like the details in the Rebecca Taylor, but what a great deal for the Charlotte Russe dress.

wow, I never thought I'd say this but I actually prefer the cheaper option.
ReplyDeleteFirst time for everything right? :)
very cute dresses... i love the ruffly sleeve though! ha!
ReplyDeleteit's difficult to say what the rebecca taylor one would really look like, as the bustier doesn't seem to fit the model at all... the charlotte russe one looks great though!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the outfit to the right, and again, your header. Thanks for sharing the photos and drop by me too when you have time.
ReplyDeleteCheers.
I absolutely adore Charlotte Russe. Great store!
ReplyDeleteI really love the fit and the cut of the CR version. Hope you have a great Sunday, E.
ReplyDeleteRebecca Taylor- it's way way nicer!=)
ReplyDeleteThe designer one is a bit prettier in my opinion, but you really can't beat the Charlotte Russe price. :D
ReplyDeleteThat looks similar to the dress Rene Russo wore in the Thomas Crown Affair 1999.
ReplyDeleteI like the more feminine feel of Rebecca Taylor's, but the Charlotte Russe is obviously more budget friendly.
ReplyDeleteLove both hun! Mwah xx
ReplyDeleteNice :)
ReplyDeleteSo feminine, reminds me of my D&G dress! I love them both!
ReplyDeleteƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
I actually like the Charlotte Russe one better! (:
ReplyDeleteGotta go with Rebecca Taylor on this one -- so clean and chic!

Very neat silhouette. They both look too similar for me to choose one!
ReplyDeleteTHAT is a pretty dress :)
ReplyDeleteI like the Charlotte Russe one better. I like the cleaner lines and the darker shade of blue. It seems sharper for some reason.

They are both really pretty, but you know how my cheap butt is ;P
ReplyDeleteI like the top better on the Rebecca Taylor version, but the Charlotte Russe version is cute and much more affordable.

You know what I love? The fact that it covers. I know I sound way old school, but I love the more modest look. Nothing hanging out and I like that! Ladylike but not boring.
ReplyDeleteI love the style of the dresses. They're both gorgeous and really similar. I'd defintiely pick the Charlotte Russe one.
ReplyDeleteI'd like both versions, please!
ReplyDelete♥ Leia

Cute look. You know, despite the not-so-great quality, Charlotte Ruesse consistently has really cute stuff.
ReplyDeleteLast week, I got four pairs of ballet flats for forty bucks. They are adorbs. I feel like CR is good for going out stuff or super trendy things.
