[Not Really] Dress for Less: Inspired by Moschino

The moment I saw this Moschino Pre-Fall 2011 outfit it screamed Dress for Less, so of course I had to oblige!  This look is a variation of what I love doing, wearing a dress with a long cardigan over it, a mix of comfortable and dressy.  Sadly I had trouble finding cheap-ish matches that looked good, so this is an expensive Dress for Less...I was going to just drop it and not do one, but decided to still do it. So here we go:
Sweater: ASOS $68.96
Dress: ASOS $51.72
Bag: ASOS $43.10
Shoes: ASOS $68.96
TOTAL: $232.74

    I like the title "Not Really" Dress for less ; ) ha ha. The prices are still reasonable.

    I am so sorry, I just realized I forgot to thank you in my blog post today for the bracelet I won in one of your giveaways! I'm so sorry, I feel so bad! : ( I think I mentioned it in a previous post though but still I should have included it. So so sorry.

    I LOVE this dress. I've been eyeing it up for a while, and it's not THAT expensive...but I still don't know! I'm not crazy about higher necklines on myself because I'm a hussy (just kidding!). I was planning on wearing it totally different than this, but I like this a lot, too! I NEED more brown in my life. All I have is black, so brown just never comes into my head...

    It's a bit more but it's way cheaper than the original, right...and anyway {whisper} I kind of like your take better than Moschino's mainly because of the print and color of that dress :)
