The Budget Fashionista

White dresses are popping up all over, and eyelet seems to be a favorite way to add a little texture to the snowy hue as we look ahead to spring. Can you get the look for less? Of course. Here, we’ve picked a high-end designer frock that’s priced to shock, and a budget option that’s just as sweet to look at, but with a price that goes down ever so much easier. So which is which?

The dress on the left is by Akris, priced for pre-orders at $3,500 at Saks. On the right, a flattering wrap version at LaRedoute, for just $49.99.
