I had to combat every "I WANT THAT" with an "I CAN DO THAT".
Instead of spending a buttload on some dresses, get the look above with the below dresses and pieces from Asos.com, and with a faux fur coat / vest and you're good to go.
| DRESSMONSTER Ikat Jumpsuit $206 |
| Asos Jacquard Cocktail Dress $77 |
| Asos Pussybow Dress in Chain Print $77 |

Pleated skirts and dresses is the top trend this Summer. intsead of a $2,000 skirt (wtf who spends that), you can find a dress or skirt anywhere right now that will achieve the same 70's glam look. And I especially love the powder blue! Add a cropped jacket or fringe vest to add more to the look.
| Age of Aquarius Maxi Dress- Shopnastygal- $88 |
| TopShop Fringe Waistcoat |
| DRESSMONSTER Maxi Shift Dress $206 |
I really love the sleeves on this Halston dress, so I think the key is to achieve the look is to keep the flowy, Seventies look in tact with the sleeves, chiffon, and length.

My favorite is the chiffon jumpsuit below from Asos. It's so summery and seventies I can't get over it.

I'll pass on the $1,555 dress, and take this $128, cuter, Free People dress
