Comeback & Lace

Wow, its years later. Getting caught up in life, and not realizing that I had been neglecting the things that I enjoyed doing. The last time I wrote for this blog, I was a young teenager with aspirations of a career in fashion and a love for designer looks for less. Now I'm a single mom, on a limited budget, but with the same love for fashion. Some things never change I guess! I've not only started a new blog, SuperNova Living, but am feeling a revival for this one as well!

Lets get it started with a lace look! I've always believed in occasionally splurging on the right pieces, so when I do splurge I don't want it to be on something that has an identical knockoff. I've picked 3 dresses with similar looks, but not so similar price tags.






This dress is simply amazing. I'm loving the mid to low cut of the v, especially cute with the long necklace they've paired it with. The Hayden dress from Myne retails for $176, this is the midrange dress I've picked and is available at shopbop.com




The back on the Clover Lace Cap Sleeve dress is just revealing enough to be sexy, but doesn't show off too much. This is my high end choice with a price of $396 and is available at aliceandolivia.com





This is my budget choice. Forever21 is great for shopping on a strict budget, they have lots of different styles and you can usually get away with an entire outfit for under $50, but most pieces will only last a couple of seasons before starting to fall apart. Especially for trendy items, its usually my go to. This is the Sweetheart Lace Sleeveless Dress that retails for $22.80. Their website can be hard to navigate so I'll link it below.

Here are my notable mentions. Dresses that don't quite match up, but are cute nonetheless.
