You’ve probably noticed a lack of fancy designer duds on this here lil blog. That’s because law students make approximately negative $1000 a minute. I guess if I wanted to I could take what little money I have, not buy any other clothes for 2 months, and save it up to buy 1 expensive thing. But the chances of me not buying clothes for 2 months are about the same as the chances of Miley Cyrus becoming a nun. Or of me becoming a nun, for that matter.

Still, I’m a regular Vogue reader and Shopbop peruser. I mean, a girl can admire beautiful things from afar, right? Among the beautiful things I’ve admired recently are these zillion-dollar studded Valentino flats. So you can see why I was excited to find the much cheaper shoes I’m wearing today that have a similar look.

I’m not sure if there will ever be a day when I drop $800 on a pair of shoes, but let’s just say that day’s not today. And I’m OK with that.

This is what I wore 3 weeks ago for my best friend’s wedding rehearsal and dinner in New Jersey. I didn’t get the chance at the time to take photos, but I wanted to recreate it because I got about a million compliments on this dress and these shoes!

And the best part about this outfit? It was basically free. I got the shoes and clutch courtesy of H&M (since I was a big fancy ambassador and all) and I got the dress with a gift card a friend gave me for my birthday. Looking like a million bucks for zero bucks is a pretty good deal if you ask me (and I think you did).

Hope everybody had a good weekend!
