Self Portrait lace dress look for less
I know many of you are looking for wedding guest dresses and other special occasion dresses, so I wanted to draw your attention to the Aqua brand at Bloomingdales. For around $100 (sometimes less on sale) you'll find some of the most unique, eye-catching, where-did-she-get that, best-dressed-guest dresses around. Most are designer-inspired, like this Self Portrait lookalike. Gorgeous! Check out more of my favorites in the widget below.

Look for Less: Levi's Ripped High Waist Skinny Jeans

Levi's jeans look for less
You've probably seen these on all the fashion bloggers - the popular Levi's 721 Ripped High Waist Skinny Jeans. These feature two large rips on the knees and that's it. I love the look and I love Levi's but one thing I've learned is that jeans with prominent rips and distressing tend not to wash and wear all that well, which is why I'm eying this look for less at American Eagle. They're currently buy one, get one half off, too, which brings the price down further. And they come in short, regular and long lengths!

Look for Less: Splendid Ruffle Sleeve Tee

Splendid ruffle tee look for less
Ruffle sleeves give an edgy camo tee a feminine feel. I'm loving Splendid's take on this trend but found a look for less that's super cute and just $25! Comes in 6 colors in case camo isn't your thing (but how could it not be?!) and they're currently buy one, get one half-off.
