Splurge vs Steal - Fall Dresses

One of the many things I love about fashion is that there is something for everyone at all price points.  Whether your wallet can take you down the runway in high end pieces or down the shoe aisle at Target, you can look fabulous no matter what your budget allows.


One of my favorite things to do is browse through retailers such as Neiman Marcus and find a similar look for less.  I will occasionally splurge on a "can't live without" item, however I do love a challenge.  Finding a designer look for less is like eating an entire cake without the calories (or guilt)!  


Neimans recently posted their "TOP 10 PICKS" for Fall dresses.  I've posted a few of them below and included their affordable counterparts.
