It’s not news that I loooove dresses & I love ones that are especially body conscious & uber-flattering.  In my hunt to find some cute & affordable looks for this spring (& can be translated into summer), I came across these five very stylish pieces, all under $15!

While the black & white strapless dress may verge on clubwear, if you add a pastel cardigan with a metallic belt & wedge sandal, it would make for a great day out & about with the beau’s family.   You can really stand out in the red & white striped illusion dress which instantly hides a belly & creates some slimming shape.  For day, try a ruched open sweater & some neutral bowed flats! Then there’s a the purple twisted dress which calls for something edgy like buckled cone heels, beaded earrings, & a utility jacket.  Go bright with an orange ruffled front dress with calls for some mixed gold bangles & printed platform pumps for a night out on the town. Lastly, for work, try on this sleeveless scoop neck dress in black & gray under a bold tweed jacket, with a sparkly chained necklace & braided strappy sandal!

When you’re building a look on a budget, finding versatile & flirty pieces like these for under $15 is a great start, especially when you have items from last season that you’re dying to bring back like scoop wedge platforms, a two-tone circle necklace, a linen moto jacket, a comfy cardigan, or a tweed belt. Keep in mind some of my favorite places to look for stylish bargains, including Forever 21, Ann Taylor LOFT, The Limited, Old Navy, Target, Walmart, GOjane, Charlotte Russe, Wet Seal, Mandee, Macy’s, Kohl’s, JC Penney, & American Apparel.  Check out my previous posts of The Stylish Five for updates on the cutest flats from Aldo, deals on flip-flops @Payless, & many more! Not to mention, I recently posted on The $100 Challenge five adorable dresses that total under $100, which can really make you stand out in the crowd!  Happy Styling!
