For the longest time, I've wanted an Abaeté [1] dress for when I'm in one of my mod moods. So why, you may ask, don't I have one sitting in my closet as we virtually speak? Because I've never wanted to pay almost $300 for one of these Abaeté Bowie Dresses [2], $264. Lucky for me, and my fellow mod lovers, there's a cheaper solution!


To see the look for less,

Once again, Forever 21 pulls through when I'm looking for a cheaper version of an overpriced dress. This Forever 21 Two Tone Dress [3], $23, is pretty dead on, except that the colors are inversed. It is classically mod and screams "Abaeté!" I think I'll run over to Forever 21 after work today!
