Affordable Floral Dress Under $25

See the affordable floral dress I wore to a blogger date in Tampa

Ok, let’s rewind things to about six weeks ago. I know, I know, I’m way behind on my posts. What can I say? I’ve been busy moving, unpacking, and growing a baby haha. Ok, I don’t really have a great excuse, but I can promise you that I have tons of posts in the pipeline for the next few weeks, so you can expect new content all this week from me! And now back to six weeks ago. Heather from My Life Well Loved was in town for a family vacation, and she had the brilliant idea of setting up a blogger lunch date in Tampa. After a few days of planning, we got a few local bloggers together at my favorite spot in Tampa, Oxford Exchange!

While the food was fabulous as always (don’t leave Oxford Exchange without trying their brussel sprouts), the company was even better. I was so thrilled to meet Heather, Amanda, and Sarah for the first time, and of course I never turn down a chance to see my besties Michelle and Stephanie! These women are so kind, funny, and inspiring, and I just had the best time getting to know them over lunch. That is, when I wasn’t stuffing brussel sprouts into my mouth haha.

Summer-Ready in an Affordable Floral Dress Under $25

As excited as I was to meet these lovely ladies, I was kind of at a loss about what to wear to lunch. At the time, I was five months pregnant, basically had no clothes that fit me, and the weather forecast predicted a sunny day at 95 degrees. Thankfully, I miraculously found this under $25 at the last minute, and it couldn’t have been a better fit for our lunch date. Despite being a non-maternity style, this fit and flare dress accommodated by 5-month baby bump with easy, and the lightweight fabric was incredibly comfortable in the scorching heat. This dress fits true to size, and if you’re a pregnant mama, you’ll want to size up for your baby bump. If you need a new summer dress, grab this adorable floral number for .

Once I had my dress dilemma solved, I realized I had another problem. I didn’t have a matching pair of shoes that still fit. I guess my mama wasn’t exaggerating when she said her feet grew almost a full size when she was pregnant! I found these gorgeous  for less than $25, and they have been one of the best purchases I’ve made this season. The nude shade matches my entire summer wardrobe, and I have to say that the design and quality of these shoes make them seem like they should be way more expensive!
