This morning, while reading one of my favorite blogs, Stephmodo, I saw a link to a new collection by Narciso Rodriguez.  I’m not a designer clothes-wearing kind of girl, but I have always liked Rodriguez’s clothes.  (First Lady Michelle Obama wears Narciso Rodriguez all the time, and looks fantastic.)  Of course, a cute and simple knit black dress caught my attention, and then I realized, I pretty much already have this dress.  Check out the comparison:

Cute dress and cute shoes, but this look will set you back $720.00. Yes, that’s right, seven hundred twenty DOLLARS. Crazy.

For that kind of money, you could buy:
an almost identical dress (from Shade Clothing, one of my all-time favorites), cute shoes and accessories for three separate looks, and still have $300 left over.  I have this dress and believe it to be the perfect casual-on-the-verge-of-nice (business casual?) little black dress.  The scoopneck is just the right amount of scoop, flattering without giving away the farm.  It looks more sleek than it feels…it feels like you’re wearing a dress made out of your favorite sweatshirt.  I seriously love this dress, and wore an outfit similar to outfit #1 just the other day.

Trust me on this one, you’ll love this dress.  And it’s on sale.  What more could you want?
