Yesterday, I was browsing through the Huffington Post Style Section and came upon the pictures of the recent Bastille Day celebrations in Paris. I became completely enamored of the simple and elegant dress Carla Bruni-Sarkozy wore for this historic occasion. The lines are simple, and the style is something that can be worn for many years. Best of all, it looks completely comfortable for summer wear whether you’re standing on the steps of the Elysee Palace or going out for cocktails 🙂

Naturally, I began searching for a lower priced version of the dress and I found two that I particularly like at the right recessionista price.
First, Los Angeles treasure Rachael Pally has a black and white halter dress that is as simply elegant as Carla’s.

Another version of the elegant color block style is Mossimo’s Black and White dress available from Amazon.com for $29.99.

There’s nothing better than enjoying a great look for less. I’ll keep following Carla as I love her style picks. I just can’t afford the couture prices. 🙂
