How to Style a $25 Amazon Dress & Look Chic

OUTFIT DETAILS: GINGHAM AMAZON DRESS (SIMILAR) | LEATHER SLIDES (SIMILAR) | DUMPLING CLUTCH – $16 | LOEWE SUNGLASSES 

Like most fashion-obsessed women I have a love for luxury, which is where I often choose to spend my money. In the words of Carrie Bradshaw, “I like my money where I can see it – hanging in my closet.” However, that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy the challenge of mixing and matching high and low end. Say hello to this gingham Amazon dress under $30!

I have fallen in love with smocked dresses the last summers as I find them to be incredibly flattering on so many different body shapes – especially for us hourglass girls.

What I love most about this Amazon dress is its versatility.

You might not think a gingham dress is one you can easily style but you’d be surprised. Gingham is a print that never goes out of style come spring and summer and instantly adds a feminine vibe.

For daytime, you can pair this gingham dress with sandals and a straw bag (my go-to come spring and summer). With patterned dresses, I like to keep the jewelry minimal and let the focus be on the dress. Plus, minimal jewelry is always a quick way to make any outfit appear chic and more expensive. A simple pair of studs goes a long way!

For nighttime, throw your hair into a chic low bun add a pair of heeled sandals, a leather clutch, or a mini bag and you are good to go! What I love about this clutch is that not only is it the best dupe for the Bottega Veneta Pouch bag I have ever found, but it goes with everything. The Bottega look is still going strong and will be a great clutch to easily take you into fall.
