Dillards LOVE Affair

Sometimes I think I am blind to things. I worked at NorthPark for almost two years and during that time I ALWAYS parked in the Dillard's lot. Lilly was located just a few stores down, but I probably only walked into Dillard's two or three times. Shocking, I know. I guess I am a real creature of habit and would just hightail it right on over to Neiman Marcus for my Taco Salad while failing to notice what gems could be found just down the way. This month I have finally discovered said gems and I will not ever be looking back. I am having a LOVE affair with Dillard's! There are far too many favorite items to post, but I just had to share my two ultimate finds with you all:



I felt like I was taking part in a highway robbery when I found the above and below frocks. I paid under $95 for BOTH of these!! The black and white dress has a little sash which I will tie in a bow (see Twitter photo from Sunday evening). Tres chic!

This pink dress is a few sizes too big, but it can easily be taken in as the price was too good to pass up. I just LOVE the detail around the neckline and of course I can never ever have too much pink!

Both dresses are extremely reminiscent of other brands I love, but cost a fraction of the price. Win-win in my opinion! Dillard's is my new go-to store for all things fabulous!
*Neither dress is available online, but there is one very similar to the first on the Dillard's site. It is by IN Studio and the same color scheme, just different stripes!

I saw your tweet the other night and the dress looked absolutely adorable on you! Do you mind sharing the brands? I LOVE Dillard's but don't have one near me so I'm going to attempt to find it online.

I too am obsessed with Dillards! I live in StL and our Dillards has a suprising amount of designers that one would never expect to find there! The best part - no one really knows about these gems, so the end of the season sale (70% off) always produces some SUPER deals! Who makes these dresses you purchased? I LOVE the black & white!

Dillards truly has some fabulous finds! (And they have amazing sales - sometimes 70% off with an extra 30 or 40% off on top of that!) Be sure to check out their costume jewelry section. I've found some great pieces there. I should add that I LOVE that pink dress!

They are both cut but the striped on is screaming my name. I might need to stop by my Dillards.

Oh and since our Lilly store closed...that is where I have to go for Lilly now (or order on-line).

Dillards is amazing for dresses! We have a Dillards Clearance Center as well, where I have found plenty of Lilly, Antonio Melani, and dresses like you found! Everything is at least 70% off and sometimes they run additional sales for 40% on top of the already discounted price.

Of course, the regular Dillards has amazing sales as well!

Dillard's definitely has some diamonds in the rough! I also love their shoes!

Super cute dresses! I never get so lucky I just don't think I have the patience to dig around.

Beautiful dresses...the black and white stripe is very Oscar de la Renta/Carolina Herrera.
