$18 Walmart dress ~ styled 3 ways

by

It’s not too often I stop dead in my tracks when shopping at Walmart.
My main focus when I shop there, is to hurry up & get out.
But 2 days ago, I took a short cut through the clothing section to get to the dog food.  Let’s stop right here & repeat…2 days ago.
This dress was being placed on the floor 2 days ago.  So it’s there.  It’s current.  Go grab it.
I even took a pic of the dress & shared it on my instagram stream while shopping.  So yes, yes it was love at first sight.  😉
It’s knit.  PLEATED knit.  100% cotton.  Adorable.
No, it’s wont be the best quality, you can buy.  But it’s stickin’ cute, in my opinion.  Stickin’ cute enough to give me the idea of this post.  Sizes XS-XXL, and comes in tangerine tango (yep, got that color too) chocolate brown & a fun blue one as well.
Because with a little help from accessories you can take this dress to the WOW factor, really quick.
Let me show you…

 I used to do this kind of stuff  for a living, ya know.  (styling, displays, windows, helping people buy clothes, back in the day before kids.)   So styling, when I get the chance is one of my favorite things to do.

I grabbed some of my favorite accessories, colors & got busy with some ideas.
Target cardy
Posie cluster pinned on my belt – Nest of Posies
Hair rosette band – Nest of Posies
TOM wedges

stripe shirt over dress from Walmart
pink cardy & shoes from Target
green rosette necklace – Allora Handmade
pearl necklace – Ann Taylor
leggins – Walmart
black heels – TJMAXX
So call me crazy, but I’m in love.  It’s definitely worth your time to check it out.  Trust me.
This post is not a sponsored post in any way.  I’m sharing what I love doing & a tip on a sassy, cheap dress.  Just in time for Spring – right?  It could even be your Easter dress.

  1. I am inspired!! While I’m on a “no shopping” spreed (what was I thinking??!!) I feel like shopping my closet and seeing if I can make some awesome outfits like you just did. You are too adorable, every outfit so beautiful. You look great!!

  2. Ha, Maegan … I’m on a spending freeze as well … but … not sure I can hold myself back! Great job Kellie, I’ve been looking forward to this one since the Insta sneak peek. Big Hugs sweet lady!

  8. I have to go to Walmart tomorrow. :0) I too will take a short cut on my way for cat food. :0) Too cute. I wonder if it would be casual enough for flip flops and a ponytail. :0)

  12. WOW. You did a great job finding ways to wear the dress. I love that (I’m frugal). And you look beautiful in all three styles. Thanks for sharing!

  17. I draw a blank when it comes to accessorizing, so I really appreciated the ideas. Love that pearl necklace. Never would have thought leggings with a dress! Thanks!

  25. so i saw your post this morning and ran to walmart this afternoon. they didn’t have the black in my size, but i got the melon one. it was so soft–i couldn’t wait to get it home and try it on. sad news…it looks so cute on you, but looked awful on me 🙁 back to walmart tomorrow to return it.
    i loved your ideas of using different accessories–will definitely be trying that with some things i already have!

  34. i went right out and bought that dress! i’m in a super small town and walmart is basically our only shopping option (i shop a LOT) online, so i was so excited about your find — finally a fresh take on a walmart item! now to head to your shop and buy the cute flower accessories!!

  35. I’m going to try to get to walmart, but i’m going to check my closet first– LOVE the idea of refashioning a simple dress. Thanks for the inspiration!

  38. Lovin it all! I have been meaning to refashion a black dress I have and wear it mixed up with accessories, might have to top tomorrow’s to-do list! Following you.
