Inspired by...Diane von Furstenberg
DVF's organza shoulder wrap dress retails for $525 at Bergdorf Goodman.
This version varies some and it's not a wrap dress like the DVF version but it reminded me quite a bit of the original so I thought I'd post it as an inspired by option. This ruffle sleeve dress by French Connection retails for $168 at Nordstrom and you can click on the photo below to purchase.

Thank you to reader Lauren for emailing me this find.
This floral Lilly dress from French Connection retails for $148.
Although the neckline (both reader Lauren and I feel it's more flattering) and print are different , this dress is reminiscent of the more expensive French Connection dress above. It retails for $58 and comes in a couple other floral patterns as well as black or blue. Click on the photo below to purchase.

Celebrity Look 4 Less: Blake Lively
Blake Lively wore these studded thigh high boots (how do I know they're boots and not leggings? See photo here.) to stylist Eric Daman's book launch on January 12th. (Photo credit)

Since her boots may not be everyone's cup of tea, I decided to post these studded leggings instead. They'll give you a similar (and more wearable) look for less. They retail for $88 but are now on sale for $70.40 at Bloomingdales (click on the photo below to purchase). Don't forget to pair them with a crisp white button up (with a black lace bandeau peeking out!), a blazer, and ankle boots to get an entire Blake inspired look.
