I may have mentioned that I have a wedding coming up in mid-May. It's a beach wedding in sunny Florida. I had originally bought the Anthropologie dress below. I love it, and it's the first Anthro piece I've ever owned. (And it was marked down from $148!) But it was still almost $80. And then momma dearest bought me shoes to go with it- gorgeous Jessica Simpson white peeptoe platform heels.
But I just saw this dress over at Charleston Girl's blog. Ain't it pretty?? And at a quarter of the price! And I already have perfect nude slingbacks that could go with it (another momma dearest purchase- shoe post coming soon!).
So I need some help. Because I like both dresses, but I am also trying to save for a MAJOR 2 week vacation/wedding. Not to mention, I have to buy at least one Indian wedding outfit, and I'm finding that they cost upwards of $150...And returning the dress+shoes would be about $150.
What would you do?!?
Forever 21 $22.80
Anthropologie $79.95
Help!!
First, let me admit that I know NOTHING about fashion!
ReplyDeleteThat said, the Anthropologie dress seems more timeless/less trendy than the one from Forever 21. The ruffles and stuff don't look like they'd be something you'd want to be seen in in a few years, while the stripes on the Anthro dress seem more classic. Plus, do you still have the receipt for the Anthro dress? If not, and it was already marked down when you got it, then you may get even less back, because they may have marked it down even more.
I love both dresses! Is it possible to wear something you already have? If not, I vote that you return the Anthro dress. It sounds like the $$$ would be better spent on the vacay and indian dress. :) HTH!
ReplyDeleteKeep the Anthro dress! Both are cute, but like the first commenter said, the Anthro dress will remain a classic while the F21 dress will not.
ReplyDeleteThanks for helping ladies!
ReplyDeleteI have decided to keep the Anthro dress. I still have the receipt, but I agree- it is more of a classic style that can be remixed in the future. Plus, it really fits well and looks pretty fab if I do say so myself!
