{Can’t Afford It/Get Over It} Boho Budget Bride
This week’s CAI/GOI request comes from a bride who’s got her eye on a Claire Pettibone boho stunner, but the $6,000 price tag is way out of her budget.
Hi! I recently got engaged and have been totally counting my blessings. Finding the Broke-Ass Bride is on that list! Unfortunately, no matter how hard I try, I can’t find the money-tree in the backyard, so I am BEGGING for your help.
Here’s the situation, part one (yes, there are parts!): I am in LOVE with the Cloisonne dress, part of Claire Pettibone’s continuing collection. I like lots of her stuff, but that one feels like the ONE.
Situation part two: I’m on a beer budget, here. Not even microbrews, either. Cases of canned light beer.
And finally, part three: I’m six foot three. I’ve found some interesting and charming dresses on Unique Vintage (love Sue Wong!!) but I’m super-tall and I need the extra length!SO…I’m a Broke-Ass Bride, looking for something very European-Bohemian with an edge.
If you choose to accept this mission, you’ll totally rock my socks off!
LOVE!!
T
Don’t worry, T. I’ve got you covered in the canned beer-budget dress department. After all, Miller Hi Life was my favorite beer in college.
And since T said she wanted something ‘with an edge’, I had some fun and threw in some ‘wild card’ get over gown picks. Feast your eyes on high fashion!

I'll admit most of these aren't my cup of tea (though the Vera is nice) but the Badgley Mishka?! You hit that so far out of the park it landed in my backyard! T, please pick that one!
To me #3 looks too much like a night gown.# 11 is georgeous too!
What about something like this Saja dress? http://www.oncewed.com/37217/boutique/collecting-…
