Look for Less: Moschino Strapless Satin Dress




Nothing's sexier than a red satin strapless dress topped with a luscious bow, but at $755, Moschino Cheap and Chic's pricey number is sugar daddy material at best. For just under 30 dollars, you can pay your own way and still turn heads thanks to Forever 21. I saw their version of this dress in stores styled with a black leather jacket, lace tights and a vintage rhinestone brooch, and thought it would make a stellar look for New Year's Eve!
