Wedding season is in full swing and I wanted to share with you a dress that works well for most types of weddings! I first spotted this Gianni Binni dress the night before my blogging conference. I was the hot mess express going a full 200 MPH. Leggings. Dirty Hair. Spit up on my shirt. Praying I wouldn’t run into anyone from high school. You know, the works. Nothing I had ordered for the conference was working, so I ran into Dillard’s quickly. I had T-minus 10 minutes before Maxi would be starving and need to eat. I was running around the store and legitimately ran into the rack holding this dress and I was thrilled. This dress is a dupe for a Needle & Thread dress, which can easily run you $600! I’ve always loved the line and thought how well it can be styled for anything from a bridal shower to a Black-Tie optional wedding. Imagine my thrill when I found this option for a fraction of the cost….and my relief for finding it so quickly.
I wore it to the conference and everyone was asking where I got it and I was so excited to share how it was a dupe! I don’t know about you, but I feel quite proud when I can surprise someone and tell them how much more affordable my look is. It’s like saying, “No way girl! You thought I spent $500 but I tricked you.” I got my normal size and paired it with a Valentino-dupe handbag as well. The bag is sold out, but I’ll keep my eyes peeled for it to come back in stock for you!
I know I sound like a broken record saying this, but this dress truly IS my favorite piece in my closet at the moment! It’s a bit of a princess dress in the sense that you feel extremely feminine and delicate while wearing it, and I love that I felt like anything BUT a princess while shopping for it. 😉
I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Do you have any weddings coming up?!
The dress looks great on you! The print and colours are perfect for a wedding in spring.

Love this dress! And I’m so sorry to go off topic but over the weekend you had an adorable pink sweater on in snapchat. Could you tell me where it’s from? it was the perfect shade of hot pink!
Have a great week!
Hi girl! Not off topic at all! 🙂 It was J.Crew from a few years ago! But they typically make sweaters like that each season so I would check there! xo
Saving this dress!! The details on this dress are absolutely stunning!

Love the dress and handbag! I found a dupe for that handbag and the Chloe Drew in Italy last summer, and I just about fell over! 25 euros later and I have the perfect Chloe dupe. No shame in my bargaining game.
