Fabulous Find of the Week: Walmart Royal Blue Dress

Written by Katie – Flagler College

I’ve been really obsessed with royal blue lately. It’s a vibrant color that’s universally flattering – what more can you really ask for?

That’s why, when I saw this royal blue dress from Walmart for only $ 12, I was in HEAVEN. The ribbon belt is a little plain, but that’s an easy fix – swap it out for one of your favorites and style away! Here’s some fashion inspiration.

Outfit Inspiration

Outfit 1

Dress, Belt, Sandals, Sunglasses, Bracelet

This seems like the perfect spring outfit to me – a cute, flirty dress, a pop of color, and an awesome pair of sunnies. Sub the belt out for this awesome leopard print one. Then just add pretty sandals and a cool piece of statement jewelry and enjoy the beautiful spring weather!

Outfit 2

Dress, Scarf, Booties, Belt

This look is a little more subdued, but equally cool and seasonally appropriate. Don’t put away those ankle boots just yet – throw them on with this dress and add an indie-inspired scarf for a cool, boho chic type of look. Finish it off with a fun belt, like this amazing gold metallic one. Rock this look on campus and you’re sure to be noticed!

Outfit 3

Dress, Blazer, Belt, Shoes, Necklace

Royal blue SCREAMS sophistication to me – so that’s why this dress was so fun to dress up for a hot night on the town. For this look, I added a fitted black blazer and an awesome pair of black flatform sandals. A simple black leather belt cinches you in and an eye-popping statement necklace adds some color and interest to your otherwise classically chic look.

So there you have it: three ways to rock this amazingly simple, vibrant dress. Go get it now – I have a feeling it’s going to go fast!
