This one’s a no brainer. I actually scored the Sam Edelman version on sale–they’re insanely comfortable and virtually identical to the Aquazzuras. Love them!
Stella McCartney Aubine Embellished Dress, $2,995 v. TopShop Embroidered Shift Dress, $130
Nothing can really beat the cool factor of this crystal embellished dress from Stella McCartney’s Resort ’14 collection–but at $2,995 (gasp), it’s not exactly a purchase for the masses. TopShop’s embroidered satin shift bears a close resemblance at a far more palatable price. I love me some Stella but I’ll take the $130 version, please!
Red Valentino, $595 (here) v. Banana Republic, $119.99 (here)
A trusty drop-waist frock is a mainstay to add to your LBD arsenal. Pair it with a white boyfriend blazer and point toe flats (like these or these) for your 9 to 5. Add a statement necklace and heels for a night out.
P.S.: Banana is offering 50% off with code REVEAL50 until 10/22!
Who isn’t obsessed with Valentino’s rock stud collection (hello gorgeous T-strap version here and here). Fortunately, as with most of the fashion set’s MVPs, knock offs have followed–and they’re pretty close comparables, right? Score!
