Bang for your Buck!

So. During my regular peeking about etsy, I came across this vintage seller, Reruns, who has incredibly reasonable prices on some great pieces(I posted a dress of her's in the last post.) Now mind you some are a tad bland, some are cute/basic and some are just waiting to be altered into something awe-mazing. I loved this gathered bust dress from Balenciaga's S2009 collection, a piece contructed so differently and yet can be so wearable. This is what makes me dream in fashion. Now Reruns has a dress that has a tinge of similarity at a minute fraction of the cost, 10 bucks to be exact. Yes, it's actually a black dress and not a typical spring pastel/bright. But on a night out you can never go wrong with a LilBD. So stop your tsk-ing and take a look-see. First crop it into a mini, if needed slim out the back and tighten the neckline. For $10 what have you got to lose?



















Ultimately the dress is not supposed to look exactly or even close to the Balenciaga one, otherwise they wouldn't be special on their own terms.

Some other note worthy pieces from Reruns' selections, the Suede Lace Ups, Hot Leather Skirt, '50s/'60s Gorgeous Dress, '80s sequin Dress, and the Black Pant Jumper which would be slick cut into shorts.
