A Little Zig, A Little Zag

Our 10 hour drive home on Monday left me with ample time to catch up on the gigantic stack of magazines that had been sitting on our coffee table for months now. When perusing through my August issue of Real Simple I was immediately struck by this fantastic chevron print dress.

I immediately grabbed my iPhone to hunt it down on shopsosie.com.  It's a miracle the dress is still available, especially at the amazing price of $43! What I also came upon was a chevron lover's dream...blouses and dresses in a variety of color combinations all with the winning zig zag print!

The news gets even better, every style is less than $50! There are so many to choose from that I don't know where to start! Which is your favorite?

Splurge vs. Save

Copying ("they say"...whoever "they" are) is the finest form of flattery, but then again sometime it's simply copying. In fashion it's commonplace for expensive designer dresses to be replicated for a fraction of the price making the design available to all consumers. Hence one of my favorite blog topics, "Splurge vs. Save"! 

I've been eyeing this Milly Blue Diamond Maxi dress on Rent the Runway, and am considering it for an upcoming wedding. The retail price of the dress was $495 and the rental price is $100, which is not an insignificant amount...

When I saw this dress on Sosie, I immediately knew this was, shall we say, a "compliment" of the Milly dress! For only $81 you could add a fantastic belt and be ready to go!

So what do you think? Splurge or Save?
