Girl Meets Dress

A few days ago I visited this store and I met this dress. Upon first glance I was intrigued and sensed a great need for further inspection. Here's a piece of advice so you don't all fall into the same trap I did - when you walk in a store where this, as adorable as it may be, is practically the cheapest item, don't ever engage in closer inspection of a dress because you will love it and it will be out of your price range. The black and white colors, the adorably cheeky zebra print, the hook-and-eye closure detailing in the back, and the amazing back triangle cut-out immediately won over my heart and I knew I had to have it. Unfortunately, while my heart was smitten my head was not. As you may have surmised, I did not purchase the dress (but don't think I'm not still considering it). Instead, I found this dress on the Lulu's website that, for only $34, I suppose would suffice as a pretty decent substitute.

Of Two Minds $320
