Despite the allure of online shopping, I’m an old-fashioned girl. I like to try things on before I buy them. And that’s what drew me to Kennedy Blue. Using their Try and Buy Service, the Minnesota-based store will ship you a sample in your size, along with a color swatch and prepaid return label for only $1. The price on these dresses is also enticing. They’re more affordable than some designers using exactly the same materials and silhouettes! Check out the full collection here.
