So
you want to look ah-mazing at your crush’s Christmas party, but you
don’t have a lot of leftover money after buying Christmas gifts for
your fam. Lucky for you, we’ve found some super cute, affordable
dresses so you can shine this season and still have allowance to
spare.
Take
a bow
This
dress is long-sleeved, so you won’t be too cold at those parties in
the snow. The classic black-and-white frock goes great with bright
tights, and you’ll stand out with a sweet bow tie collar.
ASOS
Bow Collar Knitted Dress, $30, asos.com
Go adorable with ruffles
This
dress is great for a party with a more casual feel, and it comes in
three different colors! A classic cardi finishes the look.
American
Eagle Strapless Ruffled Dress, $20 (on sale!), ae.com
If
polos and headbands are more your style than ruffles and bows, you’ll
love this preppy polo dress. You can wear it to school or to a party,
and the full skirt makes it way more fun than a classic polo shirt.
Add a pile of necklaces and glittery flats.
Bohemian chic
This
dress is great if you love tribal styles but still want to be
festive. The fair isle print is holiday-appropriate, but the color
scheme is perfectly boho-holiday.
Fire
Short-Sleeve Fair Isle Printed Pocket Scoopneck, $15, macys.com
Fun
and flirty
We
love the Material Girl collection at Macy’s, and this floral
sweetheart dress is perfect for impressing your crush, or if you just
want to look über cute next to the tree! It’s got a bright print,
but with a darker cardi and tights it’ll work well for winter.
Material
Girl Sleeveless Cutout Floral Print Sweetheart Neck Dress, $22,
macys.com
Western cute
If
you’ve always wanted a style like Taylor Swift’s, this pretty
piece is perfect for you! Keep the look country with boots, or tone
it down with a denim jacket and flats.
Sweet
and girly
The Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s luxe line The Row is a GL fave, so we were
thrilled when they created Olsenboye, a lower-priced clothing line
exclusive to J.C.Penney. This super-cute, floral dress is on sale for
just $10, so snag one while you can!
