Bargain of the week: Kate Middleton's lace dress for £15

This week's bargain features two of my love/hate relationships. First up comes Kate Middleton. With her perfect hair, she makes a perfect Princess. But, bless you Kate, I just can't stand that you have such good high street fashion sense. Everything she's spotted in sells out in milliseconds (probably) so us non-royals barely get a look in at the good stuff. 

Then there's Primark. They have some absolutely fantastic copies of high end clothes at bargain prices. But there's that whole ripping off the original designer's intellectual property thing. Really I shouldn't approve, but when you get Prada looks for pennies, I struggle to look away.

Lace tulip dress, £69.99, Zara
Also available in a fetching green lace.

Anyway, all you K-Middy lovers out there will be excited to hear that A) I spotted her black lace and nude dress back in stock in Zara the other day and B) if you're strapped for cash, good old Primark have a similar dress for only £15.

(Will look better on you than it does on the hanger.) 

At only £69.99 for the Zara original, it's not that bad but then this post would be titled 'Moderately priced purchase of the week' and that just doesn't roll off the tongue as nicely.
