Affordable Wedding Guest Dresses for Summer from Amazon

May 16, 2024

It’s spring time, which means wedding season is about to be in full swing. I usually shop for a new dress to wear when I’m attending a wedding or other special event. I think it might be my excuse to go shopping. What can I say?! At the same time, it’s always nice to find affordable options that are current styles. But most importantly (in my opinion) is to feel comfortable and confident in whatever you choose to wear. I’ve curated a sampling of some beautiful and affordable wedding guest dresses for summer that I think are classy and are on the more modest side without looking frumpy.

I personally prefer to wear midi and maxi styles because I’m not too fond of showing my legs. Therefore, those are the styles that I share most often because they make me feel my most confident and comfortable.

Things to take into consideration when dressing for a summer wedding:

  1. the weather
  2. the setting
  3. the dress code attire listed on the wedding invitation itself (first and foremost)

Options to think about when shopping for wedding guest attire (or shopping in your closet)

  1. It would be appropriate to opt for a light-colored outfit with summery patterns or solid colors.
  2. A linen or cotton blend suit or semi-formal dress would be suitable for a formal ceremony.
  3. You may also opt for a classy summer dress or a blouse and skirt combination for a more casual event.
  4. Remember, accessories can elevate your look, so consider tasteful jewelry, a stylish watch or a summer-friendly hat.
  5. Footwear should be comfortable yet appropriate for the occasion. You might opt for wedges or dressy sandals that are comfortable for 3+ hours.

I ordered some of our family faves on Walmart.com using Walmart’s Expess Delivery service straight to our doorstep in just a few hours. It’s incredible how times have changed from our younger days!

My husband and I both love the mild taste of Listerine® Total Care Alcohol Free Mouthwash. It makes us feel like we’re killing all of those extra germs that brushing misses.

Hubby suffers from seasonal allergies and winter is the worst for him. So he relies on ZYRTEC® Allergy Relief Tablets 30ct pack to help him deal with all of his symptoms. He feels relief in an hour and it lasts for a full 24 hours.

We both use Motrin® for any aches, pains or fevers that seem to always sneak up unexpectedly. Fingers crossed that we both stay healthy.

And the BAND-AID® Brand Flexible Fabric Tie-Dye Bandages are for my grandkids because it never seems to fail that someone gets hurt when they visit our house. And a pretty Band-Aid always makes things feel better in a jiffy. These are great because they’re flexible and stretch while providing protection.

Make your list of products to start your year with healthier habits too and use my link to order now.

Note: Only use products as directed.

A walk a day keeps the doctor away! I’ve mentioned A walk a day keeps the doctor away! I’ve mentioned before that I try to walk every single day for both the physical and mental benefits I get from it.

And it definitely doesn’t hurt to look cute while doing any form of exercise. I bought a few of the air essentials sweatshirts because they’re so soft and comfortable.

Currently on sale in a bunch of colors so I’m planning to add a few more to my cart. Comment for the LINK.

This post is for the ladies 5’4” and under because This post is for the ladies 5’4” and under because we deserve to have clothes that fit our proportions perfectly without a visit to the tailor.

The beautiful wool cardigan and straight leg jeans are wardrobe staples for me. They’re from Petite Studio NYC, a brand founded by a petite woman who struggled to find clothes that fit right.

You can visit my blog for more info on the brand, these 2 pieces and their Archive Sale. 

Bonus: this is a cute look for Valentine’s Day too!❤️

I must admit that I’m a little bit worn out from this first full week of work for the new year. I’m tired but at the same time I know how blessed and lucky I am that I get to do what I love for my work so I’m not going to complain.💗

Even when I’m busy, I don’t miss my daily walks because I need them for exercise and a clear mind. I thought I’d drop these pics of some of my favorite athletic wear because they’re on sale for up to 40% off right now.🎉
