Styling my new $35 dress

Here's the deal... good fashion does not have to come at a high price. The other day I ran into a big box retailer for some pasta sauce... and there it was. Leopard print, denim, and the cutest impulse buy you'll ever see. Say hello to my $35 dress.

The coloring on this leopard print dress is so rich - a super lux brown. The dress is denim, structured and hangs so well. Puff sleeves, zips in the back, and POCKETS! Seriously gotta love that! Here's the best part - this dress comes in sizes 0 through 26W. This is quite possibly the perfect fall dress.

Today on the blog, I'm showing you 4 easy ways to style this $35 dress.

First, I took this season's hottest trend - the lug sole boot. This dress hits right above the knee which makes it so versatile to style from sneakers to boots... And this dress is HOT with a cute pair of lug sole boots. Staying simple with a little edge, I threw on a crossbody bag and I'm ready to rock.

Next, I threw on a pair of black tights, cute ankle booties, and my belt bag. I tamed down the edginess and created a cute and sophisticated look.

Next I'm going casual. Throwing on some sneakers with an oversized demin jacket. This look is beyond easy and pumpkin patch worthy.

Finally I'm throwing on my favorite fall sneakers with a leather bomber jacket. Effortlessly cool... I love just how easy it is to style this dress.

To recap... this amazing versatile dress is $35. Seriously! This dress runs true to size - I'm wearing my typical size 4. One more thing - when styling this dress (or any dress) don't be afraid to mix affordable pieces with investment pieces. This not only makes your outfit more interesting, but it makes your style uniquely you.

Happy shopping!
