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!
Use code juliannerobinsonQ3 for 15% off your Shein order!
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!

My Week in Outfits - August 12th
I really felt a burst of motivation this week and I am going to work really hard at picking up posting more regularly on my blog! That being said, I’m holding myself to a daunting goal of posting my real-life, mom friendly, yet still stylish outfits on here EVERY. DAY. If you know me, you are well aware that I don’t have people around me on the regular at my beck and call to take my outfit photos so I will be lugging my tripod out with me every day to get some quality shots of what I’m wearing coffee/toddler stains and all!
Come back to this post every day to help hold me accountable… let’s see how many weeks I can keep this up!
(We’re already starting on a Tuesday, did I fail before I even started?! Haha)
Tuesday 8/13
Lace Cami and Denim Shorts
(comment below if you see the coffee stain LOL)
Wednesday 8/14
T-Shirt Dress and Chambray Top
I struggled with lighting today when taking these photos so apologies for the weird coloring! I’ll do better tomorrow, promise!
OUTFIT ABOVE DETAILS:
Dress // Chambray Button Down // Shoes // Necklace // Hair Clip //
Thursday 8/15
Leopard Top and Button Fly Jeans
Dropped the ball today and forgot to take an actual outfit photo but everything I wore is linked below this random shot I took when I was testing lighting haha!
OUTFIT ABOVE DETAILS:
Top // Jeans // Sweater (old, sorry) // Necklace // Custom Name Ring
Well, that was actually much harder than I thought it would be. I think I figured out the sweet spot/time for lighting in the area I’ve been taking my photos, so next week should be much more consistent!
Hope you enjoyed this first week in outfits!

Summer Whites With Loft!
Something about wearing white in the summer just feels right. It’s fresh, cool and always looks good. When you’re looking for the best pieces to match together for the perfect summer white look, think about layering textures and prints. I love the print of this shift dress with the weight of this solid white denim jacket, it really makes the jacket stand out, in turn giving the dress it’s own space to shine! Can we talk about how pretty this bracelet is too?!
These photos are all shot by the amazing and talented Beatriz! Here is her Instagram and website.

Target Spring Try-On Haul!
Holy smokes you GUYS. I had no idea how much of a hit my Amazon haul would be and I am so excited because it was one of the most fun posts to make! Now I want to do all of the try-ons for you guys! I asked on Instagram what retailer you’d like to see me share next and I got a ton of “Target,” so I figured I’d start right there! Let me know in the comments what store you’d like to see a try-on for next. For sizing 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 “Target.”

Outfit Above: // Hat // Earrings // Necklace // Bag // Top (old, sorry) // Blazer // Shorts // Shoes
I’ve seen this set on a couple other bloggers and I had to have it! Not only is it adorable paired together, there is endless versatility in mixing and matching the pieces with other items in your closet. I love this blazer over a floral dress or paired with jeans and a t-shirt. Both pieces are sold separately and made of part linen and part rayon so they are breezy and breathable yet the rayon allows them to be comfortable on the skin. Linen is known for being a little scratchy but this set is not one bit scratchy! I am wearing a size 8 in the blazer and a medium in the shorts. I’d say they both run true to size!
Outfit Above: // Hat // Earrings // Necklace // Bag // Jumpsuit // Shoes (Target dupe) // Shoes (actual) //
Can we talk about how perfect this jumpsuit is?! I can see this at a wedding, baby shower, birthday party, basically anything Spring related! It is also a great workwear piece. Pair it with a blazer and you’re good to go! The material is slightly stretchy which was unexpected but amazing, I’d say get your true size or even size down. The flowy material is super forgiving, even after a big brunch!
Outfit Above: // Hat // Earrings // Necklace // Bag // Dress // Shoes (Target dupe) // Shoes (actual) //
I can totally see this dress being one of my Spring and Summer staples! It is so comfy and soft, a great length for tall or short gals (the hem swoops down in front and back, so cute), and it is also suuuuper affordable! Runs TTS (I got a Medium).
Outfit Above: // Hat // Earrings // Necklace // Bag // Top // Jeans // Shoes //
These under $30 jeans are the EXACT dupe for my favorite Madewell jeans that I wear all the time (I have them in black AND white). The only difference is the color is slightly less stark white, more of a cream and the PRICE is significantly lower, we’re talking hundreds of dollars lower! I have a feeling these will go fast so grab you'r size before they’re gone! They are super soft and stretchy but very tight. I got my true size and they fit perfectly! I love that they are slightly cropped with the raw cut hem, so fun! The button fly is a great added detail too!
Speaking of detail… this top! If you’re a long time follower you know I am a fan of basics with flair! I love a good plain tee but it needs to have something interesting like this knot detail! It makes this basic item so much more than just a basic and adds so much interest to an otherwise boring piece! Comes in blush and white too, I love it so much I already ordered the other colors too!
Outfit Above: // Hat // Earrings // Necklace // Bag // Top // Jeans // Shoes //
If I were to design my perfect pair of jeans, these would be them! This is the one MUST HAVE from this haul… if you only buy one thing, have it be this pair of jeans! I LOVE a good dark wash skinny jean, these tick every single box for me! The length is perfect, they come in short, regular and long for every height (I got a regular length in my true size). They’re stretchy and high waisted so they suck everything in! Dark wash jeans are always super flattering and go with EVERYTHING. I am a total jeans girl and I can’t live without a pair of jeans like this in my wardrobe!
This top is so fun, I wish I had it for when I was at the tulip field this year! It is giving me some major country vibes but I can totally see this as a perfect top for Memorial weekend or the 4th of July! It hits right at the top of my jeans, might be slightly less cropped on you if you are shorter. I got my true size Medium and it fits perfect!

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!

Easter Dresses For Every Price Point
We’re one week into April and Easter is fast approaching! I realized this morning that I still have yet to pick up an outfit for Easter Sunday, every year we go to brunch at Edgefield in Troutdale, Oregon and I like to wear something special since we take tons of pictures, and it’s fun to have a reason to dress up! Do you all have any special Easter traditions that you celebrate with your family? Let me know in the comments!
I went ahead and saved all of the cute dresses I found when I was shopping for my own, and put them here in this post! I haven’t pulled the trigger on one yet, but I figured I’ll just come back to my own post when I decide which one I want to get! Stella is wearing a light pink and white striped dress and I want to wear something that coordinates at least color-wise. I’ll let you all know on Instagram when I decide which one to get!
Hope you all have an amazing week!

The Perfect Lace Kimono Outfit
Today Dustin and I got to enjoy a few blissful kid-free hours to run all over town doing boring grown-up stuff like going to the post office, picking up toilet paper from Costco and finally getting some returns done that had been sitting in the car for a week. It felt nice to be able to speed through our errands, but I sure missed my little Stella bean! It’s funny how even a few hours apart can be so hard, but when you spend 24/7 with your little munchkin it’s hard to be away even for a little while!
Check out my post on Mom Guilt
I wore this SUPER cute lace kimono c/o Chic Wish, it is such a versatile piece and I can’t wait for it to warm up so I can use it as a swim cover-up or paired with some denim shorts! Chic Wish just got in a ton of super cute summer items like this dress you saw me wear on our Salishan trip on the coast, and this flowy tunic that is everyone’s favorite top! I’ll link some more of my personal favorite Chic Wish pieces at the end of this post!

Save vs. Splurge Spring Bags and Shoes
There are so many fun Spring shoes and bags out already, many of which I already own from previous seasons! As I’ve been shopping these past couple weeks, I’ve realized that a lot of my key Spring pieces that I’ve purchased are also available at other retailers, some priced much lower, and some priced higher. I figured it would be helpful to make a guide of the items I own (some I own the “save” version and some I own the “splurge”). I have to say that most of the affordable options are equal if not BETTER quality than their pricier twins so if you’ve had your on one of these fun pieces but didn’t want to splurge, you can feel better about saving a few bucks on the affordable option and still get to enjoy all of these Spring trends!

SPLURGE
I can’t wait to style these pieces and share them with you all summer long! I am particularly excited about my woven slip on mules. They are SO comfy and very versatile, perfect for any occasion.

The weekend routine lately has included coffee or brunch with my friends and this weekend was no exception! I wanted to be comfortable since I knew we’d be walking a round a lot so I opted for these super stretchy and soft ripped jeans I just got in from Pink Lily (my favorite online boutique)! I actually ordered them for a trip we have planned for the second weekend in March, you’ll have to wait to see where we’re headed but it’s going to be so much fun! This sweater I’ve had since fall and it’s perfect for transitioning into the warmer months, I’ll probably pair it with shorts as soon as it’s warm enough outside, so cute! Read more about how this sweater and how to shop at Shein here. Obv. I finished it off with my standard crescent necklace that I wear every day and some chucks. Full outfit details are below!

My Favorite Ripped Jeans - Affordable Spring Essentials!
Although our weather has been completely wacko in Portland with alternating snow days mixed with days of sun and blue skies, I’ve decided to style more Spring looks for you all since I am impatient and ready for the season to change over already! This look in particular is versatile because it can be layered with a light jacket for chillier days like I did here. These shoes are also pretty covering and not completely full out warm weather footwear. Speaking of these shoes, I’ve had them for going on three years now and each year they sell out at the start of the year so if you’ve had your eye on them I wouldn’t wait! I also ordered these more affordable shoes this year that are very similar and just as comfortable, for those of you that aren’t ready to splurge.

This top is under $20 and the softest button up I own! I am always a sucker for stripes and for the price I couldn’t pass this one up. Also you’ve heard me rave about these jeans so much, a lot of you have picked them up for yourself as well! They are super affordable, perfectly high waisted and super stretchy. The color/style I’m wearing is called “Make it or Break it” I want them in every wash!

Gingham in The Tulip Field
I dragged my poor family out in the rain again for another floral photoshoot! This one has also been on my bucket list for a couple years, and this Spring I've finally gotten multiple opportunities to shoot with different photographers at this beautiful location! Located about 30 minutes away from us, these beautiful floral fields take up 40 acres of land in the middle of the nowhere in Woodburn, Oregon. It's amazing being able to live in a metropolitan city and be able to take a quick drive to these magical places. One of the many reasons I love living where I do! I shot with the amazing, talented Portland area photographer Brianna Swan who I've gotten to shoot with a few times now (if you're in the area check her out for family shoots, she is SO amazing) and I love how the shots turn out each time! Ok, ok. On to the pictures because I know that's the main reason you clicked over to this post. I'll start with the outfit details. Do you all like when I put them higher up in the post, or at the bottom? Let me know in the comments!
Thanks for reading as always! Happy weekend.

A Spring Outfit and Cotton Candy Trees
I was so desperate to get cherry blossom pictures this year.
Last year I was very pregnant and hoped to snag some maternity shots with the amazing blooming trees, but I never got the opportunity. There is a very small window of time, I'm talking 7ish days that these trees bloom before the petals fall off, and with all of the rain this month I knew it would be an even smaller window. Of course there wasn't one nice day in the forecast in the foreseeable future, but the trees were already blooming to their full potential and even dropping petals already so I knew I had to trek out into the cold and rain to get my pictures if I wanted them at all, and hope for a break in the rain (spoiler: it only rained harder).
Although it was cold and wet, Stella and I had an amazing time with our good friend (and volunteer photographer) Krysta. We drove all the way down to the State Capitol building, almost an hour away from Portland! We even got to stop by and visit the Salem, Oregon Nordstrom store to say goodbye, one day before they shuttered it's doors for good! Here are some of the shots we got. You can tell by my soggy hair that the rain was relentless... I really had to brighten up the exposure to make these pictures look like Spring and not mid-Winter. All of my outfit details are linked below! Enjoy!
Necklace: Gorjana, Top: J Crew, Blazer: H&M, Denim: Universal Thread, Shoes: A New Day
Spring Fashion Trends
Hope everyone is having an amazing week! I was inspired to write this post due to my pull towards these particular trends this year, I thought it would be fun to round up my top 5 favorite spring trends and share them with you all. I'd also love to hear about your favorite trends! Leave me a comment below with trends that you love that I didn't include. Enjoy!
Showing Some Shoulder
This is my first trend because it is my favorite one! I'm loving the peek of shoulder for spring, especially since we've spend months covered up in knits and jackets. Off the shoulder items are not hard to pull off, as long as you buy the items in your correct size. Pair tops like this with distressed denim or a clean-cut skinny jean. Add a dainty, short necklace like this one or a pair of statement earrings (these are my fav's this year) to create the perfect look. We'll be seeing this trend look more tailored this year vs. last years casual boho vibe. I'm loving the one shoulder look that's showing up this year also! Expect 2017's interpretation of the trend to be more elevated and sophisticated with stripes and shirting details. Here are some purchases I've made for spring, as well as some items that I have in my shopping cart:
The Not So Basic Loafer Slide
This one has been around since last spring, and it is back with a vengeance for 2017! It all started with the Gucci loafer, and this beauty was seen on every blogger and celebrity in 2016. Luckily for us frugal fashionistas, there are a million options this year at a much affordable price, as you've seen on my instagram, I got these Sam Edelman loafers for around $100 (a far cry from the $1,000 price tag of their designer counterparts) and they are just as chic as any other high end brand! I love that this shoe can elevate a basic outfit so quickly without sacrificing comfort (great for prego's like me!) I've included options below that I have, or have my eye on.
The Statement Sleeve
Sleeve details are HUGE this spring! Expect to see embellishments such as ruffles, lace, an eyelets. The more dramatic, the better! I myself have indulged in a few pieces with different sleeve details, but my favorite by far has to be this Zara shirt with the tiered, bubble sleeves. Such a unique twist on a basic piece, and it's only $49.90! There are affordable options all over, I've linked more of my favorites below.
The Espadrille
We all saw the return of these Chloe inspired espadrilles... the shoe from last spring that sold out so quickly, but is back with a vengeance, and more availability this spring. Of course this trend is expected this time of year, but there looks to be more sophistication in this years options. The once "beach shoe" can now be worn to work in 2017 with the cute styles that have appeared this time around. I've invested in a few pairs already, and I have my eye on a couple more to add to my wardrobe! I've linked them all below... comfort wise you can't beat these flat espadrilles, they are AMAZING, and by far my favorite shoe that I've worn since I've been pregnant! check them out!
"Athleisure"
The hoodie made it's comeback in 2016 and it is definitely not going anywhere for spring 2017. The "athleisure" trend can be tricky... there's only about one degree of difference in looking like you're headed to spin class vs. headed to Sunday brunch. Put simply, just make sure when you're taking part in this trend that you choose a couple pieces of athletic wear and add some regular classic pieces to normalize the outfit and overall make you look more put together. A great example of this (and an outfit I like to wear often) would be my favorite leggings, a neutral t-shirt, a pair of Nike's, add on a statement bag and a leather jacket or blazer to complete the look. So easy and SO comfortable. But really, this trend is the hardest to mess up. As long as you stick to a mix of both athletic wear and regular clothing in a neutral palette, you'll look effortlessly fashionable!
These are just few of my favorite trends this season! I know there are many popular trends that I didn't include, but I wanted to give you all a snapshot of what I've been wearing and will continue to wear going in to spring! What is your favorite trend? I'd love to hear about the pieces you've been loving for spring! Let me know in the comments below!
Thanks for reading!
