The Highs and Lows: Free People vs Forever 21

So have you ever seen a dress that you loved on sight and had to have it?! That's how it was when I first saw this Free People Holly dress, when I tried it on I went immediately to the register and told the sales woman to ring me up. It features the cutest lace design with and metallic threading and has a cut out back which makes it the cutest going out dress. While at $98.00 the dress definitely doesn't break the bank but you CAN do better for the price.

Shame on us for not doing our research because Forever 21 has a Metallic Lace Trim dress that is almost identical to the Free People Holly Dress for only $22.80. So clearly me being the Fabulously Chic and Cheap shopper that I am took the Free People dress went back to the store and soon the Forever 21 dress will be in my closet :-)
