Hey little sister...

I think my love of fashion is pretty clear...but there are times when as much as I love it, I have to accept that certain things are out of reach...I do lots of research on weddings (duh,it's for work) and dresses are extraordinarily expensive...when I think about spending thousands on a dress vs spending hundreds on a dress and taking a nice vacation with the change, well, it becomes more difficult to rationalize...that being said, I've found some fabulous options, all under $500 (well one is $504) that could fit into any bride's budget.  At these prices, you can afford to have a couple of costume changes on the big day (ding!ding!), and blow the rest in Bali or Cuba, etc. My personal favorite is from Forever21, I bought it for myself just for fun.
