To be fair, if I had the cash, I would probably feel more inclined to spend it on clothing. \u00a0But sadly I am one out of many, many college students that can only afford to shop smart. \u00a0While I was paying a visit to Vogue.com, I stumbled across an article on the &#8216;Perfect Party Dress&#8217; by new and rising designers. \u00a0While I found all of the dresses to be unique and beautiful, I couldn&#8217;t get past the price. \u00a0So, I ventured into the online shopping universe and found alternative options or &#8220;steals&#8221;. \u00a0One is between $50 and $100 and the other is under $50.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vogue.com\/3770573\/most-wanted-party-dress-designers\/\"
