look for less..

I love Banana Republic, and the new collection, Mad Men has so many cute pieces that just came in, and this dress caught my eye last week -- $130

BUT I am a sucker for a good deal and it would take A LOT for me to spend that much money on a dress, so while thumbing through a very messy Forever 21 I came across basically the same dress -- $25

{I added a belt + necklace + pretty Leah!}

ten at ten..
