Dear Interweb,

I'm going to Disneyland for Labor Day weekend. As I plan on skanking out in L.A. at least one night, I think I deserve a fancy dress. Where should I shop?

Thanks,
Laural

i'd start with Trendy Wendy, Rockin' Bettys, and Reputation...

hip, sexy, and damn inexpensive.

If you're feeling blingy, Dillards or Nordstrom.

don't think we have dillards in Seattle

[sinfonie.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. Hm. There's always their site (http://www.dillards.com).. but it sucks to buy a fancy dress without trying it on first.

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

exactly.

Dillard's rules.

Nordstrom Rack has a ton of designer dresses at a discount price. Though, I don't see how $500 can be a discount price, but well, you get the picture.

I love Betsey Johnson and Anna Sui for funky dresses
Nordstrom
The various boutiques in Fremont have lots of good stuff

If you want something short, tight, and scandalous, go to the trashy stores like Broadway Boutique.

I'll probably hit up Fremont, I am on a Jeans budget. I mean, I was gonna get expensive jeans but figured I'd just spend the money on a dress. thanks!

Don't buy anything till your here, then hit Melrose.

If you're anything like like me you'd think Melrose is all yuppy trendy trash, but actually it's the coolest indy rock collection of clothing stores I've ever been.


And I dress good.


real good.
And I skank out in LA every night. It's awesome.

but isn't it terribly terribly expensive?

[kevinsketch.livejournal.com]

A lot (most) is but if you're clever and like to look you can find some cool stuff that wont break the bank. There are sale racks, etc.

I've always had good luck at Buffalo Exchange. You can get a sweet (or skanktastic) dress and still have money left over for shoes. You can also find some cute (although really really poor quality) dresses at Forever 21 too.

(this is Katie, Simon's chick, by the way)
