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.

Yellow Shoes and an Ice Cream Date

Jeans: EXPRESS, Shoes: SAM EDELMAN, bag (under $50!): GLAMOROUS, Top: similar HERE and HERE,

Today I wasn't feeling the greatest, between being almost 32 weeks pregnant and starting my day off with a bad headache, I spent most of the day laying on the couch registering for the hospital and signing up for pregnancy classes. I also got a nice long nap in before Dustin got home from work. He convinced me to get up and go for a walk and ice cream to see if it made me feel any better. DUH ice cream makes everything better! We walked by the river while we ate our ice cream cones, it was so perfect outside! 

I've been looking all over for the perfect yellow shoes that are compatible with my third trimester baby belly getting in the way of buckling or tying anything onto my feet, and these fit the bill. They aren't only easy to put on, they're super comfortable and reasonably affordable! In case you haven't noticed I've been on a shoe buying spree for the past few months since my feet are one of the only parts of my body that haven't expanded to the point that I don't know what to put on them, so shoes, shoes, and more shoes it is!

I'm wearing one of my favorite t-shirt dresses since it is long enough to cover the fact that my pants don't button or zip up (they aren't maternity, obv). I just scrunched it up to make it look like a shirt! Unfortunately it's no longer available, but I'll link some similar options at similar price points. I am so obsessed with these jeans, I got them to wear after the baby was born but I couldn't wait. They are super comfy and stretchy and under $100! 

Can we just talk about this woven bag?! I linked it in my last post as well, but I just can't get enough of it. I love all the color it adds to the most basic outfit and of course the poms are too cute!

I'm going to start dinner now, and then go to bed early. I hope you all are having a great week, thanks for reading!
