Forever21 is so hit or miss for me. I either love the piece or loathe it - never in the middle - and luckily, this dress was the former. And, bonus, it was under $30 bucks.
I have been loving the look of ruffles on every girl I walk by on the street, but for some reason haven't had the best of luck finding anything besides this one shoulder top that fell just right on me.
Off the shoulder dress
I tried on so many different pieces, but If the fabric were too stiff, I felt like a short, stalky palm tree. If the fabric were too lightweight, I felt like I was wearing a sad looking curtain. Truth be told, I initially felt curtain vibes when I put this on, but quickly changed my mind about it once I walked around in it. Sometimes you just need to get out of your comfort zone, and that's what this dress was all about for me.
I like that it's fun and flirty with a vibrant mosaic print and body con style that I feel so much more secure in than fit and flare style dresses, and I love that I could just as easily wear it to a summer wedding as a night out. Below are a few other affordable señorita styles all under $50

If you want to know the truth, I forgot that I was wearing my necklaces. I like jewelry that I don't have to think about too much, so in all honesty, I actually forgot I was wearing these until I saw the pics, and wound up really liking the look. Below are a few other options, all under fifty.

I kept the shoes really minimal. These are actually very uncomfortable, if you want to know the truth, but I love how simple they are, and I've worn them to dinner and to a wedding without too much of an issue. A couple hours is about all I can stand, though. Anything longer, and I'll be needing one of those fold up pairs of flats that you can stuff and your purse! Below are a few other pairs of heels I love, all under $50
Are you into the ruffled dress look? I'd love to hear your thoughts on trying new trends - yay or nay?
