Inspired by...Marc by Marc Jacobs - Update 6/9/09

See the very bottom of this post for update!

This Marc by MJ Joelle dress originally retailed for $458 at Bergdorf Goodman, but is no longer available. Leighton Meester wore this dress as Blair on the season 2 episode of Gossip Girl titled "Summer Kind of Wonderful" (photo credit: Instyle).



This dress by French Connection is a great inspired by dress if you like the Marc by MJ version above. The ric rac detailing is super similar, and althought the neckline and color are different, it's a beautiful dress that definitely brings the Marc Jacobs version to mind. It retails for $228 and you can click the photo below to purchase.

I tried to use the 15% off code but it won't accept it! :(

Correction- the 20% off code won't work

Nikki - Thanks for the heads up about the code, I removed it from the post.

U need to put the code in the Rep Code box, not the regular code box. And if you use it in conjunction with a regular code, say the free shipping code, then the rep code will only get you 1% off. So using just the rep code is a better deal. My total came out to around $65
