Socialite designer Rachel Roy, who served as creative director for her hip-hop mogul husband Damon Dash's Rocawear line, recently caught our attention with a series of art-inspired dresses for Spring. Her ready-to-wear collection includes this bateau neckline brushstroke-print dress splashed with delicate pastel watercolors. It's lovely, but hardly worth $1,475.00. Instead, make a splash and save some cash in this similar Simply Vera Vera Wang watercolor-drenched dress (that's us modeling it on the right). For the more reasonable price of $78, some might say it's a ::cough:: stroke of genius. (Update: The Simply Vera Vera Wang 'Brushstroke' dress is now available online at Kohls.com, on sale for $58.50.)
