Best Fourth of July Dresses under $50

Best dresses and romper for 4th of July, all under $50!

Hello friends, happy Sunday!!

If you are anything like me then you would know how hard it is to find the perfect outfit for any event in your life. I always have a hard time finding the right dress for any occasion. I am the type of person who will wait until the last minute to find the right outfit for a big event, party, holiday, you name it! So this year I decided to start searching early for my Fourth of July dress. I LOVE the 4th of July, there are always so many parties going on and tons of delicious food to eat (my favorite part!). Every year at my house we have a big cookout for all of our friends and family, so of course I want to need to look cute. which means finding the perfect outfit to wear outside all day in the heat. While I was searching I came across so many gorgeous dresses and rompers all less than $50, so I thought I would share these red, white and blue beauties with all of you. Hopefully this can save you some time trying to find the perfect outfit for one of the best days of summer. Click the highlighted links below to shop the style.

Black and White Summer Nights

The $20 dress every girl needs for summer!

Swing Dress: Target (A simple black and white dress with the prettiest ruffled sleeves. This dress is easily dressed up or down and cots less than $20!! What a steal, seriously! ) Peep Toe Booties: I purchased these booties in the fall last year from Nordstrom Rack, however they have sold out so I have a tagged three similar styles here, here and here. (I love these black booties, they are my fist pair of peep toe booties and I can’t wait to buy more. So comfortable and stylish for all seasons, well except winter in the north!)

I love Sundays, they are so relaxing and peaceful. Today, we didn’t do very much, it has been cloudy and rainy all day, my favorite excuse to just stay inside and hang out. We are constantly so busy that it is nice to just stay in all day and watch tv. Although, I am a little sad because our pool is finally open and I haven’t even been able to go in it because the weather has been chilly and our pool is freezing cold!! I often wonder if Shane and I will live in Ohio our whole lives? I’d really like to move down south but it would be so hard to leave our families. I have some friends who have packed up and moved away and they love it. Maybe someday we’ll get the itch to leave! My husband always says he’ll miss having all four seasons, not me, I could definitely live without the snow. Haha!

Anyway, enough with my random thoughts. Today’s post is all about the cutest $20 dress that ever girl needs! This adorable black and white striped t-shirt dress is from Target. My sister wore this dress over last night and I couldn’t believe how cute it was so of course I had to run Target first thing this morning to buy it. I absolutely love the adorable ruffled sleeves. The dress does come in a few different colors options which are all easily dressed up or down. I paired it with a gorgeous pair of black peep toe booties from Nordstrom Rack. The booties have sold out but if you look above I tagged three similar styles all under $60! If you are looking for a simple dress that you can wear all summer than look no further!
