Summer Dresses

The best time of year is almost here! Summer is near! And you know what that means? Summer dresses! Taylor Swift. Teen pop star of the hits "Teardrops on My Guitar", and "Love Story" just recently released her first clothing line of sundresses at Wal-mart. She does say that she knows she is no designer and states "In these hard times, making expensive dresses just doesn't make any sense." I'm totally with you on that! Swift's line includes fun summer dresses, all for less than $17. The line has two different styles of a dress - a tie back, and a one-tiered. Seen above is some dresses from Swift's line.
So, speaking of beautiful summer dresses, let's talk about some more expensive ones, and you can have the look for less. Now down below, I made a simple 4-item set on Polyvore.com of an expensive summer outfit with summer dress.

No one wants to pay that for a cute summer outfit with shoes, and MINIMUM of two accessories. That's without buying make-up and other accessories. Down below is the look for less.

That's less than $100 for a beautiful summer dress, heels, a clutch and earrings. You would save $1,366.27.

So, readers, which one do you like better? Personally, I would so take the save, although I do love me some Marc Jacobs.

Thanks for reading, loves!
