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!
