Dress For Less: Marc by Marc Jacobs Faux Wrap Dress

Happy Monday everyone! ...except not really since that means I have to go to work. But I only have to go to work 4 days this week!! I'm taking Friday off for something very fun related to the blog, but more on that later since I can't tell you yet! (torture, I know!) :D

The moment I saw this A|Wear dress it screamed "that purple faux wrap dress by Marc Jacobs" so I had to do a dress for less for you all to enjoy!  The second match (labeled Love) isn't as good but I couldn't do a Lust, Love, Less without the Love now could I? ;)
Marc by Marc Jacobs $215
Vanessa Bruno Athe $138.25
A|Wear $37.65

    Mmm I love that last dress! Great substitute for the $215 original. I'm still totally lusting after the M by MJ, though.

    Have a great 4-day work week! Yay!

    I don't like the A|wear dress, I think is because of the print and the red color.. Im confused :S

    But you did a great job, as always :)

    See you!
