Carrie fever...........


I know I am years! late! with this post (lol) however I think it's worth being late. Now ladies I know we've all seen sex and the city 2 and of course the fashion in the movie is always worth discussing. However in dress in particular caught my eye back then (2010) and I'm still salivating over it now. The dress from the scene when Carrie took a walk in the dessert in that GORGOUES pleated orange maxi dress. I believe it retails for $895 I don’t know about you but I don’t have that kind of money to spend on a dress  and If I did I wouldn’t lol. No offense to anyone that would J.  However I found a SLIGHTLY SIMILAR dress for waaaaaaaaay cheaper at least to me the dress Is a bit similar. when I seen the dress to me I was like this is my Carrie inspired dress and I hope you guys feel the same.
 
 
 
This is Sarah Jessica parker aka Carrie wearing the dress during the movie Halston Heritage Iconic Pleated Long Dress in Orange that retails for about $ 895. I mean how gorgeous is this dress and the color is just gorgeous for any skin tone just pops!. The dress is orange but I thought it was coral, I guess those colors are in the same family.
 
THE LOOK FOR LESS
 
Now no the dress isn't exact but when I saw this dress I instantly thought about Carrie. This dress is from Target and retails for 29.99 but it's now on SALE! for $20.00 it comes in 3 other colors and  goes up to a size XXL. I purchased this dress in the exact color as shown in the pic above. It's pretty and flows and has two side splits. Also the back is racer back so it has to be worn with a strapless bra. The only con is that it the dress is made of very sensitive material, I wore it once and it got a bit snagged nothing major. However be careful that you don't get the dress caught onto anything sharp or it'll snag. I'm actually going to purchase it again in navy blue. This dress is plus size friendly in my opinion because though it’s racer back, unlike Carries’ dress the straps are thicker than just spaghetti straps. When I’m looking at dress the size of the straps makes or breaks it for me. I wore mine with cute white sandals that I purchased from JC penny( I'll write more about those below) and a old gold cuff from forever 21 purchased a while ago.
 
Now for the shoes that I wore with this dress I purchased them from JC Penny in  like late May. I’m not sure if they are still in the store however . They are online and they're on SALE!! seems like I'm on the money with the sales today huh? lol. they retail for $18.00 and are now on SALE FOR $13 go get em' ladies. ;). They went very nice with the dress just perfect. if anyone is interested in purchasing I'll post the link below for both the shoes and the dress. I hope you all like this post I've really been wanting to talk about it.
