Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Affordable Green Dress for the Holidays

December 15, 2021 by Katie Haller

 6 ways to style a green dress for the holidays

I wasn’t planning on sharing this dress in a blog post, but then I decided that it was just too good not to share as many times as I could.  Just when I thought that I was done shopping for the year, I saw this dress at Old Navy and because I am loaded up with super cash I decided to grab it. (Super cash gets me every time! 😂) I love the dress because it’s very basic.  On its own, it’s just a plain dress, but once you play around with it and add some layers and accessories it becomes this very cute fun little dress.

I was immediately attracted to this forest green color.  It reminds me of an evergreen Christmas tree, which makes it the perfect Christmas dress.  Yet, the color would also look cute throughout the rest of the year as well.  It really all depends on how you want to accessorize it.
Today I have 6 outfit ideas styling this green dress.  Some are great for a holiday event and others would work throughout the winter.  Let me know in the comments your favorite outfit!
*Sizing reference- I’m 5’1, 115 wearing an x-small.
