look alike: NYE dress

I'm the kind of person who uses New Year's Eve to my full advantage: it's my excuse to wear an outrageous dress that might be retired to my closet for the rest of the year. For this reason (and because I'm a poor college student) my budget can't exceed $150. This year I started shopping with one rule: if it doesn't sparkle, it's not my dress. Inspired by a gorgeous (but too expensive) dress from topshop, I went looking for a less expensive version. Here's what I found:
