Frugality: Black and white stripe dress

Remember this cheeky, but pricey number? I fell for it months ago and have since been looking for a cheaper alternative, which is why I almost fainted when I saw something VERY similar at dELiA*s.

Not quite the SAME, but the trade-off is worth the difference! P.S. It's only one more day until the weekend! xo

WOW the delia dress is awesome!! I actually prefer it to the Net-A-Porter one because it's got curves!! :p haha way more worth it... Did you get it in the end? Sometimes it's kinda scary when we get stuff on impulse online cos you never know when we'll stumble across a cheaper and nicer version of it later!!
