Two readers requested Fashion Finds for Heidi Montag’s adorable dress, however this one was tougher than expected … & so I offer my apologies to K- & M- for being soo late with this post, & thanks for being sooo understanding! Now, on with the find…

To be honest I STILL have no idea where Heidi got this dress! I’ve scoured tons of sites, a lot of brick-&-mortar stores & hit up numerous sources … & they all came up empty. So if any reader knows the origins of this dress PLEASE post a note & let me know!!!

As to the “finds” they’re a bit different from the original, but are equally cute! The first is the Off-Shoulder Sweatshirt Dress from Tourquoise Boutique for $32.50:

And the next is RLL LUCES (top row, far right - ref# 49405475) for $19.99 at Mango Shop:
[Note: this dress is cut VERY LARGE, so you may want to size down 1-2 sizes]

And, if you want it in a tunic form, try the Cowl Neck Knit Sweater for $22.50 from Turquoise Boutique:

And if readers know of any closer matches, please post them! Several of your fellow INO-Readers will be very grateful!!!

For one teensy splurge too many I’m back on ‘double-super-secret-shopping-probation’, which translates to: my shoe budget is nonexistent & the credit cards are on 2-week hiatus. But that doesn’t mean I’ll sacrifice style for budget … even if I’m using laundry quarters to pay! So I went to Forever 21 & found a bunch of super cute, trendy & classic styles for under $20 (only 80 quarters or less!):
