4 Affordable Event Dress Ideas

The inspiration for this post came from me not knowing what to wear to a baby shower that I’m attending this month. I ordered a bunch of affordable dresses from Shein hoping that one would work out. I had no idea I was going to love each of them so much! I thought it would be fun to share them all in a blog post for those of you who need a few great ideas for dresses to wear to events if you’re like me and also don’t love to spend a pretty penny on a dress you may only wear once!

I am 5’9” and a size Medium across the board, but when it comes to Shein I like to size up. I got a Large in all of these dresses and only one dress (not pictured) didn’t work out length-wise. Otherwise they all fit perfectly!

Beige Pom Pom Dress

I’ve seen this style all over Instagram this summer and I’m glad I finally ordered it! It comes in a darker brown color too but I love how dainty and pretty this warm beige color is. The pom pom details give in just the right amount of interest! It is slightly sheer but I got away with nude colored undergarments with no issue, but you may want to wear a slip with it!

Polka Dot Ruffle Wrap Dress

This dress comes in a bunch of colors but I’ve been on the hunt for more blue pieces to add to my wardrobe! I love polka dots and wrap dresses are universally flattering. I probably could have gotten away with sizing up one more time with this dress for the width, but the length was perfect for me! I wish I had gotten this dress earlier in the summer!

Peach Chiffon Tiered Off Shoulder Dress

This dress is perfect for a wedding shower or guest outfit! I love the layered ruffles and this color is to DIE for gorgeous! It’s hard to see in the photos but there are thin straps that hold the dress up and also make it so the off shoulder part stays down, off your shoulders (hope that makes sense).

Floral Midi Dress

I love this dress, but when I put it on it was kind of like a mumu, I wish it had a tie to go around the waist, but with the belt it is actually my favorite dress from the whole order! Problem solved! This dress looks and feels like a $100 dress and it was UNDER $30. I still can’t believe it! It also has beautiful movement as you can see in the photos.

Which dress is your favorite? I don’t know how I’m going to choose which one to wear to the baby shower, I love them all so much!

Amazon Spring Try-On Haul!

Amazon has been my favorite place to shop for clothes recently! The prices are great, and with Prime I can get my items in 2 days with free shipping and returns! I’ve been sharing a ton of cute Amazon pieces in my daily faves on my Instagram and the most common questions I get are about fit and sizing since Amazon can be hit and miss as it is such a huge online store filled with so many different brands and pieces. I figured I’d go on the hunt and find some great Spring items that I could put to the test for you all and share how they look, fit, feel, and all of the other details you might be interested in knowing before you place your order on Amazon. I also have a page for my Amazon finds here on the blog! It is a permanent page that I constantly add pieces too, items I own and items I have my eye on! For reference I am 5’9” tall and am a true size Medium!

I also shared this entire try-on on my Instagram stories, saved to the highlight named “Amazon".”

OUTFIT ABOVE: Hat // Dress // Shoes // Bracelet // Bag //

THIS DRESS: runs TTS, has an added slip in the skirt portion and elastic around the waist which adds extra comfort! The tie is removable, could be a cute hair or bag accessory. Comes in a handful of other cute colors, so fun for Easter or brunch with the girls! I’m wearing a size Medium.

MY BAG: Perfectly inspired by the Cult Gaia brand bamboo bag! I love this cute thing so much! It is super structured and doesn’t fit a ton, but it’s great for lunch with the girls or a fun Spring or Summer event! I always get so many compliments on it when I bring it out, such a statement piece!

THESE SHOES: great dupes for the Steve Madden “Greece” sandal, such an amazing price point, I wore these babies OUT last summer and it’s time to stock up on more colors for this year. I’m thinking I’ll purchase the white ones next! Obsessed!

THE HAT: This hat is adorable and just gives me all the country, garden-y vibes. It is super wide-brimmed and is such a fun statement at an amazing price point!

THAT BRACELET: looks just like David Yurman, but affordable! I love this bracelet and I plan to buy other styles from the same seller to create a fun arm party!

OUTFIT ABOVE: Hat// Dress // Bag // Bracelet // Shoes (not Amazon)

THIS DRESS: my new favorite dress! I’ve already worn it more than a handful of times since I got it in. It runs TTS if not a tiny bit big. I only sized up for the extra length because I’m 5’9! I’m wearing a Large here but if I was shorter I totally could have work a Medium or even a Small. There is a ton of extra material in the middle section, The ruffles are so fun, and you know I love me some polka dots!

THAT HAT: kinda like Rag & Bone but sooo much better because you don’t have to drop your entire paycheck for this one! I love this hat for year-round! Comes in a ton of colors too.

MY BAG: I love a good, round bag for summer! This one is so fun and looks designer. I’ve had it since last summer, it came in with an interesting smoky smell that wore off over time. I Love this bag for Spring!

OUTFIT ABOVE: Hat // Earrings // Sweater // Shorts // Shoes (not Amazon)

THESE SHORTS: YOU GUYS. I am in love! They have a stretchy, elastic paper bag waist with an attached tie. Run a little bit small but they are so dang cute and comfy! I sized up to a Large and they fit perfectly.

THIS SWEATER: My sweater runs really large, I would size down unless you like your sweaters really oversized and slouchy (I love it oversized, I kept my true size here).

THOSE EARRINGS: These earrings are so fun! They make me want to go on a tropical vacation… giving me total Baublebar vibes but for a fraction of the cost. Love!

MY HAT: My new favorite hat! I promise you this will be my go-to this Spring and Summer! I already can’t get enough of it. Reminds me of Eric Javits, but much more affordable. It goes with every outfit, casual or dressy!

OUTFIT ABOVE: Hat // Sweater // Skirt // Bag // Shoes (Not Amazon) //

THIS SKIRT: I am BLOWN. AWAY. by the quality of this skirt! Absolute perfection and super affordable, I 100% thought this skirt would be a return but I took a chance on it and I’m so glad I did! I got my true size, there are other patterned options to choose from. Definitely going back for one of the floral ones too! Such a perfect piece for spring and summer!

THE BAG: I’ve had this bag since last summer and it is not only my most reached for bag in the Spring and Summer, but most affordable bag I own! I want to buy one for everyone I know. It goes with everything, so versatile and cute!

All other outfit details described in previous outfit!

OUTFIT ABOVE: Jumpsuit // Bag // Hair Clip // Shoes (Not Amazon)

MY JUMPSUIT: I honestly CAN’T EVEN with how comfortable this jumpsuit is! The material is stretchy, which was such an unexpected but good surprise! I feel like this piece looks so much more expensive than it is. The sizing is a little strange for me… I have a long torso so even though I sized up it is still a little short on me, but not to the point that I can’t wear it. I probably could have even sized up one more! Keep this in mind if you’re tall like me. If you’re shorter or more petite sizing is probably more true for you!

THESE BARRETTES: An Absolute must have for Spring! These little accessories have come back from the 90’s with a vengeance and I couldn’t be more excited! I love that they are super versatile and classic, yet make such a statement for a small accessory!

THIS HANDBAG: Another amazing find! This bag looks just like it’s designer counterpart that is super expensive. I found this beauty by accident and am so excited to share it with you all! The insert and handles are an embossed croc pattern, and the insert is removable! I love a piece that can be worn different ways and I know I’ll be reaching for this bag all season long!

Transitioning Your Style From Summer to Fall

SWEATER | JEANS | BOOTIES [run true to size] | NECKLACE | HAT

The weather is changing and it’s time to pull out the sweaters and booties! I wanted to share this cute summer to fall transitional outfit with you all from American Eagle, I’ve found myself shopping at AE a lot this season since their prices are so affordable and I never realized how much cute stuff I was missing out on! I Saw this sweater and knew it was perfect for me since it’s a little cropped but I love wearing high waisted denim so it is perfect front tucked into these distressed skinny jeans. Both run true to size, the jeans are SUPER stretchy and very forgiving. I paired the look with these under $100 booties that I’ve been wearing for FOREVER and I have in multiple colors. They are so so SO comfy and versatile, everyone needs them!

Anyways, I hope you all are enjoying these last couple weeks of summer! This is one of my favorite times of the year because I can still wear shorts but pair them with my chunky knits and it’s totally appropriate and comfortable! That being said, I am so excited for cooler temps because fall fashion is my FAVORITE fashion and I can’t wait to share a ton of cute fall looks with you all!

Wishing I was holding a PSL here, obviously.

Amazon Fashion Favorites: Summer 2018

This has been such a long anticipated post! I have found so many amazing pieces this summer from Amazon and if you follow me on Instagram I've been sharing each item as I get them, but how much easier to just be able to shop ALL of my amazing finds in one place. I've rounded up all of the items I'm loving from Amazon in this blog post for your convenience! Yay!

Check out my friend Jenna’s post for take on Amazon shopping and her affordable fashion finds!

Ok, let's get started. 

You all know my obsession with woven bags this year so of course I had to take advantage of the amazing affordable options I found on Amazon. Here are the bags you've seen me carrying over the past couple months: 

Another trend I've been all over is the hats! They hide the "mom-hair" nicely and step up an outfit of basics instantly to the next level! Fedoras and panama hats have been the two styles I'm loving, but anything woven has my heart (as you've noticed) so if you have any other great hat suggestions, send them my way! Here are the ones I've been wearing non-stop. 

So fun sunnies have been super on trend this summer and I am loving all of the different affordable styles that are available, no need to shell out for the designer ones when there are identical dupes on Amazon! Here are the sun glasses I've found and have been on repeat this summer. 

Ok some last random things here, I wear this Gucci inspired belt at least once a week, and I recently found out that my favorite felt hangers are available on Amazon for cheaper than I've been able to find anywhere else and they include pant clips too! Woop woop! Check those out below

Hope you all enjoyed this first edition of Amazon fashion finds! I'm sure I will be doing a post similar to this every few months as I find more and more amazing pieces to order.  Let me know in the comments your best Amazon fashion find! I'd love to add more to my collection! 

Thanks for stopping by!
