MY FAVORITES
Let’s face it, aside from something being affordable and pretty, if you’re into the kind of fashion I am, you’re into comfortable fashion. I don’t like itchy fabrics, stiff materials, or anything that I feel like I can’t move around freely in. The following three dresses truly live up to their descriptions. They are beautiful on, and honestly make me feel like a million bucks when I’m wearing them. If you decide to get any of the dresses in this post, definitely get these! 😉

Tie-Waist midi dress in a beautiful linen fabric, hello perfection! I had to size up in this dress so I would totally recommend you do the same as the arms were a little snug. I actually decided that I liked the arms tucked down as shown in the photo but go ahead and click on the photo to see the other off the shoulder option that this dress could be worn in, it’s super cute too! This dress definitely looks way more expensive than it was and I know I will get tons of use out of it! 😃
I have been really into yellow lately and this beautiful yellow dress did not disappoint! I know when my skin has been graced by a few more weeks of sun, this dress will look even better on me. When I first got this dress out of the bag, I was nervous that the bust area would be a little more revealing than I’m comfortable with. As you can see, it is flirty but still appropriate, something I truly appreciate in fashion. I feel totally secure in this and I feel like this style of dress is very figure flattering. I am normally a size S and I got my normal size in this.
This slanted button style dresses everywhere lately! A tip that I use often is to try trends inexpensively. Don’t splurge on a trend that you’re not sure will work for you. I love the blue and white stripe in this dress, it makes it an instant classic. The silhouette is A-line and the straps are adjustable, total win! I have a shorter upper body so I always need to adjust the straps and make them shorter. My normal size small worked out well in this dress. I am petite and this is a dress that I may have hemmed an inch or two in the future although this length works well too!
