Under-$50 Week: A Relaxed, A-Line Dress

Jun 2, 2021

As you know, I wear dresses almost exclusively in the summer.  I’ve been on the hunt for dresses that are cut a little bit looser, but still fitted.  The oversized caftan has its place, but I prefer something with a bit of shape.  And this affordable a-line dress is exactly what I’m searching for right now.

This Amazon Essentials Midi A-Line Dress is the perfect mix of relaxed and fitted.  The short sleeve and midi length makes this a versatile choice.  And the pockets make this an easy dress to wear while running errands, heading to the Farmer’s Market, or going to coffee.

The dress runs XS to XXL.  It also comes in eight colors and patterns.

They also make a similar style that’s knee-length and sleeveless.  This shirtdress is also worth a look (love the red print).

    During the summer, what do you wear under these dresses? Jocky skimmies? Anything for thigh chaffing?

    I would kill for a dress like this with a seam instead of a silly little string belt.

    This is lovely. Also SUBSTANTIALLY less expensive than $50! I just ordered it in the hot pink color but have my eye on the green print and blue and white stripes!

    I actually ordered this one a couple of days ago and can speak to the fact that it’s very comfortable and I’ve found that it fits true to size! It was easy for me to add a more structured belt, I just tucked the drawstrings in between the buttons and it was perfect!

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.

Three Outfits I’ll Wear All Spring

When I started this blog, influencers still re-wore clothes. There were no haul videos filled with the latest from Shein before it winds up in a beach in Ghana poisoning the planet. There were no sponsored campaigns delivering fresh wardrobes each month. The content machine doesn’t like reruns.

The Find: Like a McCall’s Pattern

When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.
