Budget Wedding Dresses

We all know weddings are crazy expensive, but I don't think we actually really really understand and realize how costly they are until you are the one planning one. Especially when it comes to wedding dresses, it is shocking how much they can be.

Well I did some hunting for either super cost efficient dresses for your magical day or for any of the bridal occasions and event leading up to your big day! These dresses are all under $200! Impressive right, I was shocked when shopping for these too.

Loving this all lace boho chic gown! The sleeves and off the shoulder is hitting just right with this one. I will recommend ordering tts... I typically size up with long sleeve items because of my long monkey arms, but this one was pretty big on me because of that.

Adorable and sweet little lace midi. Again the off the shoulder is one of my fave looks. It's such a romantic feel to it. I could totally see this for a cute bridal tea party or shower, and it's under $100. Runs tts.

Your sexy honeymoon dinner dress or if your having a simplistic beach wedding, Even a rehearsal dinner or bachelorette party look would be great for this dress! Under $80 and tts.

Now for my fave out of the bunch, this boho mermaid is everything! The open back is so sexy, and if you know how I've been shredding for the wedding then you know I'm all about showing off those hard earned muscles. The train OMG, gorgeous!! And there's a slit, like what so so dramatic, yet sweet with the all over lace. This one is a little on the higher side, but worth it and runs tts.

Now if you would like to get more of the details on these looks you can watch the complete try on haul on my YT. I break down all the specs and the accessories I've paired with them.

Diva Villain Looks

Let's talk Diva shall we...

Cruella was one of the first looks I put together, and I was so happy how she turned out. She was the one who kicked it all off and set the tone of what I was ultimately going for.

It's all about the fur darling, oh and spots! I found the Dalmatian top at Zara's along with the leather skort. The fur jacket was a find from Shein. It's actually blush pink, but for character integrity I changed it to cream in the photos. Def a statement piece for the winter for sure. The booties were from Amazon believe it or not, and they're quite comfortable. Lastly, my "long cigarette" is a piece of paper colored and rolled up into one of my green plastic straws I had at home, lol. Hey when you need that little extra to really make it work, you figure it out in a pinch.

The Little Mermaid was always one of my favorites so Ursula was an obvious choice to portray. For the fit I found this at Zara... like a lot of these looks. They just are winning me over lately. This black jumper tho is one of my fave finds recently. So so cute and can be worn with so many different pieces. The necklace I actually made with craft supplies from michael's. I think this shoot is one that turned out way better than we thought it was going to. Sometimes during these shoots you have to remember if stuff isn't working , don't beat yourself up. Have fun and laugh it off. If it's necessary you can always try a redo another day. Most the time tho you will have great things and you're just too in your head at the moment.

Ok now not quite an actual "villain" per say, but Megara is most definitely one of the most sassy disney characters out there, and I'm so freaking here for it! I found this fit at Zara... go figure and I just had to include her in my little challenge. She did have to do Hades' dirty work so she kinda fits the bill. This lilac color tho is amazing! Absolutely obsessed. The backpack is Loungefly, and is adorable with baby Herc & Peg on there. I had to shoot solo on this one and like how I mentioned you most likely will have something within what you took... this was one outhouse days. I was trying to beat the rain, wanted her to be perfect, had no clue my surrounding, and on my own... so had a few obstacles to deal with, but in the end she turned out amazing (to me).

I hope you enjoyed a little more details behind these Diva's looks. I put so much time and effort into making these all as perfect as I could I feel like I gotta continue to share more about them. So many of you loved seeing them on my IG, and I thank you for that love! Incase you missed the posts, you can check them out HERE. Also, here are the modeled lookbooks and behind the scenes if you're interested in viewing :)

Lady Tremaine Fit

Sharing a little Villain inspo in this finally week leading up to Halloween!

If you lovelies follow my on Instagram then you already know I have created a photo challenge for us all to participate in for funsies. It's the #xoxoVillainStyle challenge, and it's not to late to play and post some of your own villain inspirations. Head to my post HERE for the details!

I thought it would be nice for those of you who are subscribed to my blog though to share the details and inspo about each fit! Some have been harder than others, but all in all it has been so fun doing.

LADY TREMAINE

Her look was one on the simpler side. I found this burgundy dress on Shein, and knew it would work for her. The high neck and sleeves made it! This dress also could have worked for Mother Gothel, but I was feeling the wicked Stepmother instead.

I already had the "glass slipper" at home. Those are actually a designer look a like I found off of amazon. They're quite nice on for a Louboutin look under $50! The cream booties are new from Nordies, and they have other colors. Lovelies, they are soooo comfortable! Like I may need another color in them, that's how much I love this lace up style. So victorian and y'all know I'm here for that inspo. Lastly, the necklace I made with supplies from Michael's. She wears a teal pendant necklace and this totally completed the look.

I pulled half my hair back to give the idea of her bouffantness updo and that was that.

You can shop the look below and I'll have my discount codes listed too. See the IG post HERE. Stay tuned for lots more this week.
