Requested Dress for Less: Free People Skirt as Dress

My friend Koatha requested that I find a cheaper version of the Free People skirt that Vicky from Bikinis and Passports wore in this post, but as a dress.  This was another difficult one, as always, ha ha...you guys sure know how to stump me. I'm not sure what the skirt retails for so I just made sure it was under $100CAD. I think the Forever 21 dress is the closest match, and it just happens to be the cheapest too, yay! (I might suggest DIYing some sequins and stuff on it to get it even closer...)
Before I get to the cheap matches, check out this amazing Anna Sui dress that is REALLY close, except for the fact that it is black. It was just added to the Net-a-Porter End of Season Sale yesterday.

Forever 21 $29.80CAD
ASOS #1 $79.67CAD
ASOS #2 (Vero Moda) $49.57
ASOS #3 (Lipsy) $97.38

    The F21 dress is a pretty good match - and the sequins tip would make it even more so.

    très jolie sélection, j'adore les robes à dentelle.
    Je possède la numéro 2, et elle est vraiment très agréable à porter

    even though they aren't the best matches, i love the 2nd and 4th.... the second one is just too cute reminds me of something alexa might wear and the fourth looks like it would be perfect for layering open knit sweaters over :)
