Budget Babes: Floral Dresses
Happy Friday and welcome to the second to last edition of Spring Budget Babes with Ada and Rachel! Today's trend is all about floral dresses (but honestly, do these ever go out of style??) and the perfect way to end Ada's birthday week celebration on her blog! Don't these two ladies look lovely? Rachel and I had a similar idea of layering a piece over our dresses with some chunky necklaces for a fun pop. Ada let her floral dress be the star of the show and accompanied her dress, like I did, with a neutral peep toe. Make sure you stop by their blogs to check out their Spring looks!
Dress (Old Navy): $20?
Cardigan (Old Navy):$10?
Belt (Target): $10?
Heels (Payless): $5.05

Earrings (Gift): $0

Extremely late in the game, but this is actually the outfit I wore on Easter Sunday over a month ago! Both the dress and cardigan came from my Old Navy working days, so they were both 25% off. I think that is the only thing I miss working there were the discounts! 25% off at Old Navy and 50% off at Gap and Banana Republic! So nice :) So needless to say, I've had both of these pieces for several years and have actually worn them together for another Easter past haha :) If something works, why fix it??
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! In between rain storms we are hoping to plant the veggies in our garden! We are trying straw bale gardening this year. Has anyone heard of it or done it? My mother-in-law has been doing it for a few years and loves it! I guess it is a much easier way to grow veggies/plants- you don't get weeds (yay!) and the bale acts like a greenhouse so the plants grow faster and the produce becomes mature much faster than planting it in the ground! Maybe I'll do a post about it once we get it off the ground :)
I loved, loved this outfit the moment you e-mailed the photo. That dress is beautiful and looks so expensive. The lavender cardigan and statement necklace you chose complement it perfectly. I loved that collage of ours. We all look so festive, fun, colorful and springy in our beautiful florals. And the way you worded this post is funny, because I wrote mine similarly. Great minds think alike.
ReplyDeleteThank you to you and Rachel for ending up my birthday week with a bang. I agree both yours and Rachel's looks are perfect for Birthdays, but Easter also.
Have a great weekend celebrating your mother! <3 Ada.
Your dress is gorgeous and I love how you styled it with the belted cardigan! Such a pretty look! Have a great weekend!

I have a floral dress I got from Stitch Fix last spring and I wore it on Mother's Day last year. I have really been wanting to find different ways to wear it and I have to thank you ladies for some new inspiration. I love the color of your cardi and it works so well with your dress! I follow Rachel and Ada already, but I've never stopped by your blog, so thought I'd say hello!!

You guys all look so great in your floral dresses! I'm jealous of your bare legs. We've been having such cold weather lately that I won't even wear maxi items for it being cold! Such a great Easter outfit, even if Easter was quite awhile ago ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty dress, Maria!! I love all the colors :)
