Swoon Worthy Dresses Under $40

Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post. And thank you for supporting the brands that make Pretty Real possible.

I've been searching for vacation dresses for Joe's and my anniversary trip this June and I feel like I just hit the dress lottery with the recent Walmart fashion drops. I've said it before and I'll say it again- don't sleep on Walmart fashion! It's fresh, fun, and super affordable. Oh and somehow they manage to pull off quality too! The pieces I've purchased over the past several years have worn and washed well. Here are the gorgeous budget-friendly vacation and summer dresses I found.

23 Fun Easter Basket Gift Ideas

I love to fill an Easter basket! And honestly now that the kids are a little older I love buying fun (and often consumable) goodies for them to enjoy. Add to that lots of activities - water balloons, water guns, slime, Lego kits, etc- and it makes for a fun day. Full disclosure though, I lost my mind and spent way too much on an airup bottle for Dax, so he won't be getting much on this list. ha! Here are my curated Easter Basket Gift ideas for boys and girls around the ages of 7-15! Hope it inspires you! Oh and everything ships super quickly!

A Quick and Easy Bathroom Update with Peel and Stick Tile

The kids' bathroom floor was peeling up and water was getting under the linoleum. It was one of those nagging 'to-do's' that I needed to...well, do. Luckily Chris Loves Julia released a new colorway of their floor pop tiles, which was the motivation I needed. I ordered them immediately and added the project to the docket. I'll cut to the chase and say I loved working with these tiles and definitely recommend them but here are a few things you should know!

Spring Looks Under $40!

Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post.

After Christmas, the spring fever hits hard. I want to wear pastels. I want to travel. I want an entirely fresh wardrobe. Luckily Walmart is just a click away and I can make these dreams come true. Fine, I don't totally replace my wardrobe, but at these prices, it's tempting! I shopped on Walmart to grab a few looks for our upcoming winter break, church (also would be perfect for work) and general spring things. I can't wait for you to see how far $40 gets you. Oh and I should add that I've been a fan of Walmart fashion for long enough that I can vouch for the quality. Despite the low prices, it wears and washes well. Here's what I grabbed:

I cannot believe this jumpsuit is $36. It's so cute and structured yet still comfortable. I paired it with flat espadrilles but I can't wait to dress it up with wedges.

Spring Looks for Every Occasion Under $40!

If you don't like getting naked to go to the bathroom, here's the dress version. haha. 3 words: IT. HAS. POCKETS.

green utility midi dress | purse | espadrille slip ons

This dress sold out SO fast last year- it's back and in multiple colors! I love me a flirty cutout. Right after my pedicure next, week, I'll pair it with last year's version of these.
