Amazon Dresses Under $25

Amazon has become one of my go-to sites for clothing this year! When I find an item that looks designer but costs much less AND it’s prime - jackpot! I found these three dresses that are perfect for spring and summer! I think all three can be dressed up or down and worn to many different events.

dThe first is this Grey Ruffle Swing Dress. This is one of those finds that looks and feels like it should cost much more. It looks a little boxy right out of the bag, but the tie-waist belt feature brings it all togehter!  Anything that cinches in at the waist is a plus for me and my body type! The bell sleeves are so fun too. I really love this dress, I want to purchase it in another color too! I am 5’4 and it is on the shorter side, so keep that in mind if you are taller. It comes in 4 colors, is only $21.99, and IS PRIME! I am wearing the size medium.

Next is this Navy Polka Dot Maxi. I was superrrr skeptical of this one at first because it was ONLY $11.99… like WHAT?! I was pleasantly surprised when I received this one. I love the off the shoulder feature, as well as the tie-waist belt! I wasn’t sure if the polka dots were going to be too much with it being a maxi and long sleeved, but I think the polka dots are so fun! It’s also super lightweight. If it’s not too hot where you live, I think this would be so cute for 4th of July with a red headband or sandals! I am wearing a size medium. It is out of stock right now in the navy in most sizes, but I will keep an eye out for a restock!

Lastly is this cute and simple Light Blue Sundress. I love the ruffle features and the color blue is so pretty! I have it paired here with heels but it is also cute with a casual pair of sandals. Although the tied bows are so cute, one thing I do love about this is it can be turned into a strapless or halter dress as well! Spaghetti straps don’t always work for me - they fall down constantlyyyy which is so annoying! Later on in the day, I untied the bows and tied the front two straps into a halter and tucked the back two straps into the back of the dress. This dress is comfortable and very well made! It has a slip underneath so it is not see through at all. It has a smocked stretchy top that is helpful with sizing. The length of this is a little more wholesome and hits right at the knee, so is very appropriate for church or a more family-oriented event. I just ordered it in the mint color too! I  am wearing a size medium. It comes in a few different colors and is only $23.99!

I wore my Sam Edelman nude heels with all of these dresses. I also think all would look great with flat sandals as well! I tried out the pearl hair clip trend and think it added a cute touch! I will say, amazon is usually hit or miss when it comes to clothing - but that’s why I love when items are Prime. You can get it quickly, try it on, and return it all within a week if it doesn’t work out!  I can’t wait to wear and style these dresses this spring and summer!

XOXO, Shelby

  20. I haven?¦t checked in here for some time since I thought it was getting boring, but the last few posts are good quality so I guess I?¦ll add you back to my daily bloglist. You deserve it my friend 🙂

  29. Successful freelancers are specialists in one particular service and not generalists with a broad offering. Specializing in one service area allows freelancers to build their expertise but can also understand their ideal clients. Being a specialist freelancer gives clients confidence that you are a professional in your field.”
    In my first business, we spent the first three years working 8 days a week in the business (and not on it). We weren’t making any progress and in fact we had thoughts of calling it quits. We got a lucky break when a national retailer saw and fell in love with one of our products. That was our saving grace.”

  30. It forced us to take a step back and take time to think about how we were going to deliver that product on a massive scale. I think many new entrepreneurs spend way too much time working in their businesses and not enough time working on their businesses. If you want to grow, then you have to carve out time to think strategically and think about the big picture, which is difficult to do when you’re first starting.”
    Many times, I see first-time entrepreneurs start their businesses without really understanding the total scope of work that’s going to be required. This could relate to the overall investment that’s necessary, the detail in your plan of action, or most importantly, personal capabilities and time.”

  31. While entrepreneurship is a continuous learning process, there still needs to be a solid foundation in order to grow the company. The amount of money you initially invest may not even be a fraction of the total amount needed, when accounting for mistakes and unforeseen events along the way. It’s difficult to balance a lean environment with needing the online business tools to truly succeed. You don’t want to find yourself in a bind where you can’t hire the talent necessary to complete task the right way, and you definitely will not have the time to learn everything yourself.”
    My advice is to plan for a solid buffer with your cash flow, create checks and balances to keep that plan in line, and surround yourself with individuals that will free up your time and resources.”

  32. After quitting my own corporate job two years ago with no plan B, as well as from interviewing several guests about this topic on The Quarter Life Comeback Podcast, I believe that one of the biggest mistakes people make when starting a business is thinking that it’s going to be a kind of golden ticket to creating the life that they want.”
    This often stems from intense unhappiness in their current work situation, as it did for me. However, simply quitting to pursue your own thing causes a lot of stress (not to mention more intense unhappiness) if you’re starting from scratch.”
