Thrifty Wife Happy Life

Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Off the Shoulder Floral Dress

June 14, 2017 by Katie Haller

Thrifty Wife, Happy Life- floral off the shoulder dress
Hey everyone!  I am so excited to share this dress today.  I found it a few weeks ago at Ross Dress for Less for only $8.99.  I was looking for something that was a little more trendy than most of the dresses in my closet.  I am just loving the floral print with the off the shoulder style. 

Sometimes it makes me nervous to make a trendy purchase because I always try to make the most of my clothes and re-wear them in different ways.  I’m always afraid that a statement dress like this will only be able to style in one way.  That’s why the first thing I did after buying this dress was the start to outfit plan, so I could find different ways to style it.  Today I thought I would share 2 of the looks I came up with.

For the first look, I wore the dress with my black wedge sandals (similar), my black satchel purse (exact) and some fun jewelry.  I figured that this look would be cute for a shower, dinner date out or even a casual wedding.

 For a more casual look, I styled it with my white braided sandals (exact) and my new thrift store find black tote (similar).  I figured that this would be a look I’d more likely wear this summer.

I found that it’s easy to style a dress like this.  It’s really just about switching it up with your shoes and jewelry, then you can create any kind of look you want.

 It’s not hard to find a cute off the shoulder dress right now in stores, because they are everywhere!  I linked a bunch of similar dresses that I love below.

I don’t share my husband much on here, but this I don’t share my husband much on here, but this trend felt like a fun way to look back at our story! I had to dig deep on Facebook for some of these photos! 💕

He was the one who told me that shopping wasn’t a hobby and I needed to find a free hobby to keep me busy when we were first married. 😅 So I started a blog about living life to the fullest and dressing my best on a super tight budget.

Little did we know that “free hobby” would not only one day turn into my job, but it would also be a way to fund my shopping habit. Even helping me become a smarter shopper along the way! 😉

Fun fact: The name “Thrifty Wife, Happy Life” came from him. When making big decisions, Kevin always said “happy wife happy life”. So when I was brainstorming a name for my blog that popped into my head and I decided to do a little play on words. The original name I was going to pick was “Katie’s Closet”. I’m glad I went with the name I did!
