Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Styling the Perfect Spring Dress

March 1, 2021 by Katie Haller

The Perfect Spring Dress

*This post contains affiliate links.

I feel like I keep seeing this dress everywhere on Instagram lately.  Usually I’m not one to jump on the bandwagon and buy the same dress every other blogger is sharing, but I knew I wanted to buy this $20 Target dress when I first saw it.  Target had a very similar dress last spring that I wanted to buy so bad.  It was bump-friendly and nursing-friendly, but then the pandemic happened I put shopping on hold for the final months of my pregnancy and I never ended up buying the dress.  When I saw they had a similar dress this season I knew I wanted it!

There is a good reason why everyone is sharing this affordable little spring dress.  It’s so comfortable and it’s such a flattening style no matter what your body type is.  I love that it has an empire cut to it with a flowy skirt.  It’s not only bump-friendly if you’re pregnant, but it also does a great job of hiding your postpartum belly.  I also like that it has a v-neck because I’m able to breastfeed in it.

This dress is so perfect that I could probably wear it everyday.  The outfit options for it are endless.  I like that you can dress it up or down.  You can also wear it in colder weather by adding some layers to it.  Here are some different ways that I will be wearing this affordable spring dress.

Wear it with booties

Booties are always great in the transitional seasons like spring. I styled it below with both my snakeskin booties and my black booties.  If it’s a chilly spring day you can add some tights or leggings to keep your legs warm.  If it’s warmer you can leave your legs bare.  What I really love about this dress is that it’s so cute on it’s own.  You can add a laying piece if you want, but it doesn’t need it.

Wear it with sneakers

I’m all about cute sneakers right now.  I love wearing them with dresses because it keeps the dress super casual and it’s easy to wear when I’m hanging out with the kids.  As always I’m such a huge fan of Walmart sneakers and my snakeskin slip-on sneakers are one of my favorite pairs.  I also recently bought a pair of white Nike sneakers.  I love how a classic pair of white sneakers look with a casual dress.

Wear it with sandals

Once the weather officially warms up I can’t wait to wear sandals with this dress.  I feel like there are so many fun ways that you can accessorize this dress for warm weather.  Adding a hat or denim jacket is always cute, but you can always dress it up with a blazer too!

I wasn't sure what to post today. I was debating b I wasn't sure what to post today. I was debating between a picture or a reel, but then I found this picture on my camera roll and I couldn't resist. My little photo bomber is always trying to make her way into my photos. 😜

They aren't sick enough to be sick, but feel yucky enough to be whiny and clingy. Hopefully it will pass soon. For now, my lap is the most popular seat in the house.
