Though the ambrosial ASOS piece is ever so slightly more fitted than its higher-priced counterpart; for just $34.48, in comparison to the $135.00 required to add the James Perse gem to one’s wardrobe, it is le quintessential way for the frugalista to scoop up high-fashion style on a budget – and still have enough spare change to pick up not one, not two, but all three stellar shades (Black, Red, and Purple)!
What’s your stand, lovers…will you splurge, or save?
Fashionably yours!

ReplyDeleteah..........I wish I was thin enough to wear this!
ReplyDeleteGreat black dress <3
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I'd go for the cheaper one. But what a cool little black dress to have.
ReplyDeleteThe ASOS dress is to die for, if I had the figure to pull that off. Hope you have a happy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThis would so work for a core piece to have. Great about the ASOS dress.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great dress to have for those unexpected occasions.
ReplyDeleteI always love James Perse tee shirt, dresses great for lounging or casual outing

I would definitely save and go with ASOS.
ReplyDeleteThat ASOS dress is awesome! I love that company! It was a great find. I can't even tell the differences between the two.
ReplyDeleteYou can never have enough black dresses! I love the ASOS one. It looks more flattering.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it;'s the model, but the Asos dress looks better to me!
ReplyDeleteI love this dress. I actually own it! I got mine from h&M and I wear it as a top a lot cuz it is a bit short for work. Both dresses are great on the photos -- but I agree with Julia, the ASOS model looks better in it.
ReplyDeleteI'm lov'n the ASOS!!
ReplyDeletei'd definitely save and go with asos!! great find!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the ASOS!

It looks like a great basic. You could even pair it with longer skirts.
ReplyDeleteLove that dress, and price! xo
ReplyDeleteSave please! I would need to try it on though, as some body con dresses focus on my mid section in a not so adorable way...
ReplyDeleteLove ASOS one :)
ReplyDeleteAsos all the way!
ReplyDeleteGreat little black dress finds, Erika! I'd definitely save some money and go for the ASOS one. It seems like the fit is a little better on that one.
ReplyDeleteI'll bee a cheapskate as usual. But I like the top part of the JP dress better, and the bottom part of the ASO'S dress best. Too bad they're not using the same model for purrfect comparison.
ReplyDeleteFor such a basic, I'll definitely go ASOS!
