Today’s post is pretty self-explanatory, and you can probably tell without me waffling on, that these two dresses are almost identical. H&M have outdone themselves and created an alternative to Marc by Marc Jacobs’ striped dress that doesn’t break the bank. Normally, Marc Jacobs’ albeit gorgeous striped ‘scooter’ dress, pictured below, comes with a rather hefty £385 price tag, but now you can get the look for far less.

H&M’s brilliant striped offering below is just one of many great monochrome pieces that are available instore at the moment. This dress in particular though incorporates the on-trend pattern and optical illusion side panels that make the waist appear slimmer. Black and white is huge for spring and summer so there’s never been a better time to invest in a monochrome piece, and when it looks like Marc Jacobs, it’s worth every penny of the £20 it costs.

To see more fabulous monochrome pieces, check out my recent get the look post here, and/or my monochrome moodboard for inspiration, here.

That’s it for today’s designer double post, I hope it’ll help you stay chic while saving you some cash! Let me know if you’ve picked up this piece, or if you plan to by leaving me a comment below or tweeting me @MillieDelacoe. Until next time..
