Dress for Less: Inspired by Harry Potter

On one of my posts someone wondered if I would ever do a Dress for Less inspired by the Harry Potter series! So here it is, a very loose interpretation though!  It is also a bit more expensive than usual since I needed more pieces to create the look.
Cardigan (aka Wizards Cloak) - ASOS -  $47.35
Red Dress (aka Gryffindor Uniform) - ASOS -  $43.96
Green Dress (aka Slytherin Uniform) - Lulu's - $27.50
Blue Dress (aka Ravenclaw Uniform) - New Look - $15.20
Yellow Dress (aka Hufflepuff Uniform) - ASOS - $20.29
Wedges - Forever 21 - $27.80
Glasses - Forever 21 - $5.80 (pop out the lenses)
TOTAL (without dress): $80.95
GRYFFINDOR TOTAL: $124.91
SLYTHERIN TOTAL: $108.45
RAVENCLAW TOTAL: $96.15
HUFFLEPUFF TOTAL: $101.24

    This is a great dress for less :) I like the red dress, very Gryffindor with the gold trim. The green dress is so pretty!
