This Special Occasion Dress Won’t Break The Bank
With the country opening up, many of us—hopefully—will be able to celebrate special occasions in person. And Spring and Summer are full of them: from Easter to Mother’s Day to weddings to graduations. There are so many opportunities to get together and share a little love and joy—and much needed too! As the weather warms up (for some of us), we’ve been thinking about Spring a lot over here on the blog. We’re continuing on with our theme this week: budget-friendly Spring shopping.
Easter dress 2022
Today’s spring dress is from Scoop (available at Walmart), and it’s available in 3 colors. (I’m also loving the pink.) I’ve styled it with a pair of cap-toe pumps (similar here and here). The cap-toe pump has been a favorite of mine this year. So much so that I featured it on one of my real vs. deal segments reprinted below:
Cap-toe Slingback
The cap-toe slingback might not need any introduction due to its iconic status. Coco Chanel introduced this beauty in 1957 and nicknamed it “the height of elegance.” This shoe ticks all the classic boxes and is a cult favorite due to its neutral color scheme – black toe and nude body. The heel is not too high nor too low and looks fantastic with skirts, dresses, pants, or blue jeans.
Walmart carries the Easy Spirit cap-toe pump that’s easy on your budget. Hands down the best dupe are the Exclusive Baton Heel available at TuckerNuck that looks almost identical to the Chanel slingback. Karen White pointy toe slingback is elegant and sophisticated thanks to a v-shape opening. And the Vaneli Aliz slingback is a perennial favorite available at Nordstrom.

Spring special occasion dress
I’m loving this dress because it would work for just about any special occasion I can think of this year. My accessories are subtle but compliment the outfit nicely. I’m featuring a DeMellier handbag (similars here and here) and a silver bracelet and hoops. Understated but elegant.

Sprint hats
Who doesn’t love a hat, especially in Spring? This straw fedora is also from Scoop and is going to get a lot of use this Spring.

In case you missed it
We’re in the Spring transition phase over here at SAACA. Yesterday we featured a budget-friendly skirt from Scoop that you can dress up or down by swapping out just your accessories. Make sure to check it out.
Daily Looks
We just posted a new DAILY LOOK, so make sure to check it out. Daily Looks is a really simple feature: a dedicated photo feed of my daily outfits. And you can shop those outfits easily through the shop the widget below the picture.
This dress looks fabulous, especially for the price, and I just ordered it in pink. I’d love it if your posts included a bit more about fit — for example, did ou find that a particular item ran small, large, or true to size? That would be especially helpful for brands/labels that your readers are likely to order online and/or may not already have experienced (for example, few Walmarts actually carry Scoop in the store, so no opportunity to try on, and I have never ordered it before). I love that you feature a range of price points, and though I am not a Walmart shopper (ever), I’m interested to see how this dress turns out for me. As a veteran TJMAxxinista, I have no qualms about buying, trying, and returning! Thanks!
thanks for the suggestion!i have featured the Scoop line (exclusive to Walmart) several times before as it’s a great brand for the budget conscious. i have found that it runs TTS. but Walmart goes one step further as on their website you can pick your size and have a model with that body type show you what it looks like. genius! https://www.walmart.com/cp/scoop/5800740
The dress looks very pretty,
Every thing looks very nice on you
Love those cap toe shoes, I remember the white and black from Talbot.
This year I do not see them.
Thank you
I can’t imagine your wearing anything from Walmart. The clothes, etc that you model are expensive. But you are beautiful and it’s nice to see that you would advertise for Walmart.
I managed to grab the pink dress and now I just ordered the skirt as well. Thank you for introducing Scoop line to me. I really love it.
