It is that time of the year again! Looking for dresses that fit a budget is no small task… and even though you want to find a cute dress that you can afford, you also don’t want poor quality.

That is why, girlies, I made this post. Of course you can search for dresses on Pinterest and you’re going to find a lot of options, but it is heartbreaking when you click on it and it costs $150 bucks on a random store. Crazy.

I like to say I’ve got you covered with some New Year’s Eve dresses options. I chose elegant NYE dresses to more festive picks from two of my favorite brands: Zara and Lulus.

So let’s explore Zara’s and Lulu’s affordable dresses for less than $65 bucks, shall we?
