Where to Buy Jaw-Dropping Dresses on a College Budget

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at SDSU chapter.

With the arrival of spring comes many occasions that require us to look our very best. Wedding season, formal season and graduation are all just around the corner! Instead of wasting time scouring the internet in search of the perfect dress, read my list of the best online stores that are sure to have the dress of your dreams! (All within your budget!)

Tiger Mist

This Australian brand has a great selection of dresses for every occasion. Going to a club? They have the perfect cocktail dresses. Going to a wedding? They’ve got you covered with floral patterns galore!

Tobi

This online store has it all, and at the very best prices! I have numerous dresses from Tobi and I got all of them for around $30-$40!

Lulus

I think Lulus is the perfect place to search for prom, formal and just a great sundress to throw on for brunch or a day out with friends. Lulus have a huge variety of different brands such as Free People as well as their own personal Lulus brand that has gorgeous garments at great prices. The site is well organized to make finding a dress fitting for your occasion quick and easy.

Fashion Nova

If you are Vegas bound or are just in need of a cocktail dress go to this website right now! Fashion Nova has flattering dresses for all body types, but really caters to curvey girls which is amazing!

Lucy in the Sky

These dresses are perfect for a formal, homecoming or any other event where you are in need of a cocktail dress, but these have a beautiful, bohemian twist!

Pretty Little Thing

If you checkout Tiger Mist and love their clothes, then you will also adore Pretty Little Thing! They have so many different styles of dresses that are fit for a bachelorette party as well as options that are perfect for brunch with grandma! Oh and I should mention that they have great prices, most of their dresses are under $60!

Oh Polly

My roommate just bought a gorgeous, satin dress from this store and it is stunning! If you want a dress that will turn heads and become your signature look, buy a piece from Oh Polly!

Princess Polly

This online boutique has beautiful, casual dresses that are very affordable and unique. Princess Polly has a lot of options if you have a more grungy in addition to options that a girly-girl couldn’t pass up!

Treat yourself to a dress that makes you feel like the confident, beautiful woman you are, all while having money left over for accessories (or In n Out if you’re like me)! With all of these great online stores, you are sure to find the perfect dress for any event you are attending, plus who doesn’t LOVE getting packages in the mail?!
