Affordable Dresses for Any Occasion!

Prom, graduation, parties, other fancy occastions, etc. Everyone wants to look amazing but doesn't want to fork over a ton of money on a dress that they might wear only a few times or even just once! You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars for a beautiful dress! Here are some stores that sell stylish and affordable dresses. By the way, the stores are in no particular order. I just thought of them as I blogged! :D


Kohl's (kohls.com) : In the junior department there are tons of beautiful dresses to choose from online. In stores they have some options but online is your best bet. The original prices are about a hundred dollars but most of the dresses are on sale for around 60 dollars. Plus, if you have a Kohl's card you get extra discounts and offers!
 


Delia's (delias.com) : There are lots of trendy dresses here. I think there are more options online than in store especially with the prom styles. There are more casual dresses in store. Casual dresses on average are about 40 dollars and prom dresses are about 50-70 dollars.

American Eagle (ae.com) : They have mainly casual dresses like sundresses, tube dresses, etc. These dresses are about $20-50. If you are a rewards card member then you might get an extra discount.

Forever21 (forever21.com) : This store has the most options as far as I know. Their website has a bajillion different kinds of dresses at very affordable prices. I don't think there are many prom dress options though. The dresses are about $10-30. I don't have any dresses from here so I don't know if the quality is good or not, but the dresses are very trendy and affordable. 


Hollister (hollisterco.com) : Hollister is a bit on the pricier side for what you're getting but their quality is very good. There style is preppy and beachy. The dresses are about $60 unless you get the clearance which is about $30. I would recommend Hollister over Abercrombie and Fitch because they're owned by the same company so the styles are pretty much the same and the prices are lower. Dresses at Abercrombie and Fitch are $78 and Abercrombie Kids dresses are about $60. So Hollister is the more affordable store out of the set of stores.
 


This post was requested by a reader so I was happy to do it. If you have a suggestion for a blog post, please leave it in the comments below! There are a lot of holidays this weekend so Happy Easter, Happy Passover and Happy Spring if you don't celebrate the other holidays!!! I am so excited for the warm weather and for the flowers to come out!

Questionaire!

Here is another questionaire to get to know me. I got the questions from amarixe.com 


1.) Mood: Pretty happy and excited for spring break!
2.) Are there any spring trends you're loving this year? Any you're hating? I love the floral prints, crop tops, and lace. I like the neon colors in moderation. Too much is just blinding to my eyes!
3.) Do you like to cook? I love to cook! I'm still a beginner but I can cook simple dishes!
4.) Current nail polish: None at the moment. Letting my nails rest.
5.) What is something you are excited about at the moment? Spring break! Starts on Friday!!!!!!!!!
6.) Current outfit: Shirt and tank from Delia's (striped and I have a picture of it in my "mall haul" post) and jeans from Hollister and black Jessica Simpson flats from Lord & Taylor.
7.) Are you a heavy or light sleeper? Depending on how I feel. If I'm anxious about something, I'm on the lighter side. If I'm really tired or sick I sleep so deeply. Once a tornado siren went off and I slept through the whole thing!
8.) What size handbag do you prefer? I like small to medium sized bags. I can never find my things in a large bag.
9.) Do you like karaoke? Sure, but I usually just sing to myself, especially in the shower. :D
10.) Weekly goals: To ace a test tomorrow, start spring cleaning, and enjoy spring break starting on Friday!



And that's it! Please leave a comment below and answer these questions about yourself! I'd love to learn more about the readers of my blog! Since spring break for me is coming up, I will try to blog more often. If you like my blog, make my day and become a follower! :D

Spring Things Tag!

There are lots of tags going around on YouTube so I decided to do a blog post tag. This is the Spring Things Tag and I got it from Beautybaby44 on YouTube. I saw several other YouTubers doing it and I thought it would be a lot of fun!



Spring Things Tag:

-What are some things you are looking forward to this season?
I am looking forward to all the warm weather and the flowers! I also like the fashion and hair trends this season.


-What are some nail polishes you reach for during the spring?
I love Sally Hansen's Fuchsia Power. It's a bright magenta/pink that's perfect for spring and summer! I have a blog post about it with swatches!


-What are some fashion and beauty trends you are going to rock?
I am definitely going for the floral, lace, and crop tops for fashion (I have a spring trends post). As for beauty, I'm not as on trend. I'm not really going for neon colors. I'm probably going to stay on the neutral side. 


-Favorite spring accessories
Definitely my Vera Bradley purse in Island Blooms. It adds a pop of color and floral print to my outfit!


-Favorite spring scents 
I am loving Bath and Body Work's Coconut and Lime Verbena. It smells so tropical and I get lots of compliments on it. I did get it from a friend a year ago so I don't know if they still sell it.


I tag YOU! Post this on your blog or leave a comment below answering these questions! I did remove the top 10 makeup products because I'm not a makeup fanatic and I can't think of 10 favorite products for this season but if you want to include it in your post, be my guest! If there are any tags that you want me to do, leave something in the comments!
