Yaay!! Welcome to my new blog!! I’m so excited to be starting this new stage of my journey! So excited, in fact, that I bought balloons and braved the cold a day after our snow storm to photograph this beautiful, affordable embroidered dress. Balloons are for celebrations and THIS is a celebration! (Balloons, however, and short dresses – for that matter – are not for windy days…so I apologize if some of the shots are extra windy.)

When I saw this cute ruffle dress, I knew I had to try it. Embroidery is all the rage right now (see this post on 50 spring trends under $50) – a trend that I absolutely love. Thankfully, this is one of those trends that you can try for an affordable price tag. Plus, if this affordable embroidered dress is not your thing, you may try a regular top or some shoes! Seriously, they are putting an embroidered detail on just about everything these days!
If you decide to try this dress, consider paying for the $1.99 return shipping. It’s sometimes hard to tell what size to order from this retailer so I always get the return insurance in case I need to return it. Thankfully, this cute ruffle dress fits well. I followed the measurements on the website and actually sized down one size for this dress. It’s definitely too short for me to wear as a dress most of the time. By adding OTK boots I reduced the amount of leg exposed, making me feel a little more covered up. As I often do with “dresses” from this retailer, I plan to wear this embroidered dress as a tunic over leggings or to tuck it in to jeans. In fact, don’t be surprised if you see this top again.
This affordable embroidered dress is the perfect embroidered piece for spring because of the variety of colors in the embroidery detail.
