the $20 alternative to the lularoe carly dress

I don’t know about you, but I’m seeing LuLaRoe ALL.OVER. And, that’s not a bad thing, because I have many friends that started their own business and I FULLY support them. I think this is a great business! However, I’m a mom of four and sometimes spending the money on clothing for me is a hard pill to swallow. I’m a sale and coupon gal, through and through UNLESS I find something I HAVE to have. Then, it’s history. Done and in my closet.

I have wanted to try the Carly dress from LuLaRoe for some time now, but I haven’t wanted to take the plunge for $55. When I was at Target a couple weeks ago, I spotted a cute shift dress and I immediately thought of the fun Carly from LuLaRoe. I tried it on and fell in love. I also fell in love with the $20 price tag. It comes in additional colors as well.The $20 alternative to the Lularoe Carly Dress

Another option I found just last week was from Simple Addiction. Have you heard of this site before? I’ve ordered a lot from them. They are one of those “discount” type fashion shopping (and some other stuff) sites where you can get all.the.trends for less money. Plus, everything I’ve ever ordered from them has been great quality.

They shared a poppy-patterned floral dress (search this in the search box at the top)…available in black and ivory. Again, a $20 price tag. It has pockets and it’s a loose fit. Overall, it sounds like a great find! I might just grab one yet!!

Well, what do you think? Should I take the plunge and try one of the $55 Carly dresses, or stick with these choices? So far I’m leaning towards these options and banking the rest that I’m saving. Ha! Talk to me!

    Thank you for the tip. I love the lularoe dresses but the price tag is a little too much to pay.

    I love a good shift dress! They’re so versatile (worn solo, with tights, with with pants) and the shape is flattering. I’m with you, though- $20 is my price range for a knit shirt dress. Loving the options you found!
