I have 5 weddings to attend this summer but I'm in college and have an extremely limited budget. Some brands that I love but usually cannot afford are Lilly Pulitzer, Kate Spade, J.Crew, Tory Burch and Vineyard Vines. In general my "vibe" is preppy, polished, playful, and sophisticated. I'm not afraid of bold color but can appreciate a more subdued look as well. Do you have any brands or specific dresses that may be able to fit my style and budget? Ideally I would love $35 or under, but I know that isn't exactly realistic with the quality and styles I am looking for. Definitely under $50 per dress, though. —Brigid M.

It sounds like you have a classic case of champagne taste on a beer budget - and I think I can help! Here are five dresses from brands that offer the same preppy-chic vibe you love, without the designer pricetag:

I was shopping online and came across a dress on Zappos. Now, the dress is alright, BUT the shoes are to die for. Unfortunately, after getting in touch with Zappos, I found out that the model must have worn her own shoes because they don't carry the pair in the picture. I didn't know who else to turn to with this question: Can you please help me find these shoes!? —Kamelia K.

The fuchsia footcandy you seek appears to be Dolce Vita's 'Grechen' pump - and you're in luck because this shoe is currently 50% off at Nordstrom.com! Get your pair in magenta, black, red or navy for $89.47 (down from $178.95).
