Ask BB: Can You Help Me Find Dries Van Noten's Mixed Print Dress Look for Less?

I have fallen in love with the Dries Van Noten dress featured on Denise Porcaro in eBay's new Style Stories series (here). Any looks for less?! The colors, the cut, the mix and matched patterns…wouldn't say no to that cute BCBG belt either. —Michèle

First, let's start with the belt (that's the easy part): You can find BCBG's multi-colored belt for $68 at Lord & Taylor. It's unique and might be worth the price if you think you'll wear it often this fall and beyond. You might also try making a DIY version of this belt using some colored thread!



Now, on to the dress. When you're looking for runway-inspired pieces, your best bets are Zara, ASOS and H&M. Here's a mixed print dress that captures the feel of the Dries pretty well ($196, ASOS.com):
