Party dresses under $500

9th December, 2022

Party season is here and it’s often a great excuse to get dolled up. Enter the party dress! I love embracing a range of different styles throughout party season from the LBD to a splash of colour. What I wear is often dictated by the dress code, but I do like exploring the full spectrum of party dresses, exploring a range of silhouettes. Whether it’s a slinky, sexy fitted style or something that embraces a lot of volume or a mini hemline (take note: this is a big trend this season) it’s always fun to be able to try a range of options.

The one downside of having a range of events at this time of year is that it can get expensive. Which is why I fully endorse utilising existing pieces and changing them up. However if you’ve really got your heart set on splashing out on something new there are definitely a variety of different options out there, at various price points. I’ve done an edit of different styles, from a range of different brands (some from my fave Aussie designers) and retailers and have found some party-ready styles that all fall under the $500 mark.

So, it’s time to frock up, grab that glass of champagne and toast the festive season… all while wearing a gorgeous dress!

30 ASOS party dresses under $250

17th December, 2021

Party dresses are no doubt at the top of many shopping lists right now given it’s the season for festivities aplenty, from Christmas parties to New Year’s Eve celebrations, it’s the time to embrace frocking up. That said, it can become quite an expensive exercise having to attire yourself for multiple events. This styling conundrum reminded me of a reader question I had a few weeks ago asking for my edit of elegant dresses from ASOS. See Rachel’s request below!

 

Hi
Kate
Really love your blog and come in every day to catch up. can you upload elegant dresses from Asos in “my shopping list”? ? Love your taste!!Thank you rachel

 

I love helping to solve fashion dilemmas so I trawled ASOS recently to find some elegant and party-worthy dresses that are not expensive. In fact, everything I’ve chosen is under $250 (most are under $100!).

I think the thing with party dresses is to choose something you’re going to be comfortable in (there’s nothing more annoying than having to readjust your outfit every five minutes when all you want to do is kick back and enjoy yourself) along with making you feel confident. So, I’ve rounded up options for the full party spectrum, from a dress worthy of a girls’ night out to a more dressy affair to dancing the night away. Your perfect dress is right here and waiting for you.
