Dress: Thrifted. Boots: Jeffrey Campbell (A similar version is available to buy here).
I got this Pucci inspired dress a few months back while thrifting and had to re-post it now when a couple of nights ago, I stumbled across Rihanna in it too. My original post is here.
It's considered a bit rude to ask what someone paid, but what the heck; I am wondering what it retailed for Rihanna or her stylist (on the rare occasion that it was not a freebie).

ps. Blogger competition update. I was contacted by the online mag editor to inform me that I came close to being the winner but was beat by a few more votes. Ah well. Win some you lose some : -) Thank you anyway for those who did vote! K. x
Awesome! I can't believe you guys have the same dress. Pretty cool you found it =)

haha cool. it actually looks better on you, though. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! What would she think if "common" people like us could get the same outfits for cheaper?! You wear it much better, Karen, and can afford all the accessories that go with it without breaking the bank.
ReplyDeleteWow...that is a super cool dress, and you're really working it!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if her stylist bought it for super cheap and then charged her a shit ton for it.
ReplyDeletehahahh anon 1 and anon 2 in previous post is all me, and i happen to be up again at the same time and again checkin your post :D my nights are messed up so its a pleasure.
ReplyDeleteI agree with every1 else u styled it better and you have a flawless body apart from rihanna.
also: I remember u were askin in one of ur posts what was in our Xmas wish list that wasnt in urs? How about nice bralets (they got some really cool ones in leather, velvet, sequins etc at topshop now) I think u would totally rock that trend! x

what a coincidence! I like how both of you styled it differently.

Cool!! You both look really good in it!
ReplyDeleteWow, how cool is that! I think you need to contact Rihanna now and tell her that her stylists came pretty close to make\ing sure she was the only one with such dressm but she lost by a few bucks... lol jk Congrats on being nominated and being so close to winning in that mag thing still! I remeber you mentioned being the only one from the UK/USA, so I guess it's pretty cool you got that far!
ReplyDeleteI prefere your version more and more than Rihanna one's! ;D
ReplyDeleteWow, that's pretty cool you thrifted it. I love the print and colors.

You wear it much better Karen, not loving Rihanna's look.
ReplyDeleteRhianna's styling is more in keeping with the tone of the dress...but it makes me love your styling even more because it doesn't follow it! The shoes make the outfit!
ReplyDeletewww.misspdolly.blogspot.com
The best part is that you look 100x better in it!
ReplyDeleteWoow! Love that dress, and looks great on you both...
ReplyDeleteAhead of the trends :)

I'm going to have to echo previous sentiments and say that it looks better on you. You're... leggier, so it works.
ReplyDeleteMiss A - the thought crossed my mind. We'll never know ; )
ReplyDeleteThank you for the support about the competition. It means alot that you voted. Like I said though; you lose some.... everything happens for a reason.
It's cool to see a more casual way to wear it which I actually really like. I'm sure come Spring I'll team it with flat sandals to walk around in ; )
Either way you wear it, I did a double take when I saw Rihanna in it LOL!!

This dress is fantastic! God purchase
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I like the way you styled the dress more than Rihanna (or her stylist) did!
ReplyDeleteX, fashion-nerdic.
What if, by some random chance, you bought Rihanna's dress? That would be way cool :)
ReplyDeleteWe all know that Riri's stylist totally copped your dress as they are running out of ideas and cruising your site for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteLooks better on you :)

A Piece of Passion
I'm so sad you didn't win the blogger contest!
ReplyDeleteThe Daily Cake - aww its ok : / there'll be other opportunities hopefully down the road. It was great to have been nominated though.
ReplyDeleteTay - oh please. LOL!!!! By the way, I didn't know she was called RiRi until this post.
Neekoh - I never thought of that.
Thats crazyyy cool! Kinda like, "who wore it better".... and I say you would win!! ;X
