The lace dress was an impulse buy, because I didn't expect it to end so low.  Plus, the promo pictures were so unflattering...surprisingly, it's beautiful in person!

But a bit too small for me.  At that price though, I couldn't resist.  Ironically, I paid the most on auction!  The other ones ended at $4.25 and $4.50, which is just an insane deal.  Really makes me wish I didn't pay $14 for the blue one!

Those J.Crew dupes are just amazing.  They look exactly the same as the originals!  I seriously can't tell the difference.  These are the official ones:

What I paid was literally 1% of the price!  I really don't understand why J.Crew charges so much for costume jewelry.

Embroidered chiffon dress:  $21.78 @ Aliexpress

Finally!  I had to buy this dress FOUR times to get it...the other times the sellers never came through.  They either said it was out of stock or they wanted more money, so I was expecting the same from this one.  Luckily, that wasn't the case.

$20 used to be the regular price, but recently all of them went up by $5 to $10, so I finally decided to buy one at this price.

I'm glad I did!  The dress is gorgeous...even better in person.  I was worried about the size, but surprisingly, they're like standard north american sizes.  It fits great, and is also really good quality for the price.

It's a dupe of this Jean Paul Gaultier dress from his 2012 summer collection.

Shockingly, it looks almost exactly the same!  I don't even think the quality looks any worse, though the original is probably made from better materials.

I'm really happy with this dress!  It looks so beautiful on.  It was worth the wait!

Black lace necklace w/gem pendant:  $1.35 (BIN:  $4.29)

White lace/chain necklace:  $1.77 (BIN:  $4.99)

Black lace/chiffon dress:  $11.50 (Highest:  $26)

Black lace/gem necklace:  $.99 (BIN:  $4.45)

All off eBay.

I love lace, even in necklace form!  These were so gorgeous and cheap, I'm happy I came across them.

I'm also extremely happy about the dress...I was about to pay $20 for it on aliexpress, but thankfully I checked here first! 

It's a knockoff of an Elie Saab dress (the charcoal lace and grosgrain long dress).  If you don't wear the underslip, it looks really similar, albeit shorter.  Beats paying $6400 for it!
