Joie Gemini Shirt Dress - *Updated 10/30/09*
See bottom of post for update.
Joie's plaid shirt dress originally retailed for $244 at Nordstrom, now reduced to $162.90.
While it's missing the wrap around black belt, this dress by Roxy is a nice alternative for those on a tight budget. It retails for $49.50 and you can click on the photo below if you'd like to purchase.
*Update - 10/30/09* - On Arden B's site it says that this is more of a tunic length top than a dress, but it's so much like the Joie dress above that I had to post. It even comes with the double wrap skinny belt! This version retails for $48 and you can click on the photo below if you'd like to purchase.
