Chic & Cheap: Colorblock Dress Inspired by Kate Winslet

by Migdalia Rivera aka @MsLatina

Kate Winslet wore a figure enhancing Stella McCartney colorblock dress at the Venice Film Festival that was AMAZING. It made her appear curvier because of the colorblock styling. To see the dress click HERE.

Knowing I couldn’t afford THAT dress, I decided to look for a more affordable options.

Below is what I found at Macy’s for $99.

Below is a colorblock dress from Chadwicks,on clearance for $19.99.

What do you think about the above colorblock substitution? Chic AND Cheap or just plain cheap?

2 Bicultural Mama September 23, 2011 at 5:17 pm: I saw the Kate Winslet picture in People magazine and she looked amazing. I would like to have one of these dresses because it gives the illusion of curves. I have a boyish figure, no curvy waist and a pretty flat chest. I could really use a dress like this.

What I don’t like about the dress is that it accentuates the chest area, which could be distracting and it only suits to people who got some curves like her. The Macy dress looked more nice and stunning. The colorblock dress from Chadwicks looked very wonderful since the black and blue blended very well.
