Love that dress! I think The Limited is taking a page from Kate Spade this season, I also did a splurge v. steal with the bow sweater just last month :-)

The dress was on sale at the time I posted this but it looks like the sale has ended.

Cute dupe, though I like the navy/ivory combo. My friend SewPetiteGal just made a dupe of this herself!

My first thought when I saw that dress at the Limited was that it looked like Kate Spade. I'm a bit bummed that they ended their dress sale because I was going to get it but I bet they'll run it again soon with Easter right around the corner. Can I just say too that your blog is one I make a point to check everyday. I love to see what deals you find and often check out what you post. You do such a great job of finding good dupes of designer duds for a fraction of the cost and finding cute fashion period. Keep up the great work!

Oh so here's another striped dress at White House Black Market but it's $170, kinda pricey but it might go on sale:

oldnavy.com has a similar style dress. It's only $20, but the only downfall is it's rayon which wrinkles easily.
