You're invited to a party, but you have no idea what to wear. It can be hard to find the perfect look for an occasion that's not black tie. But don't worry! You don't need to spend a lot of money on clothes that you'll wear once. There are many different looks at different price points that will suit any budget. This guide will help you create the perfect ensemble for any occasion and show you how to put together your best look for any event, without breaking the bank!


The most memorable, budget-friendly looks
An event that is on the cheaper side of things is a barbecue. The most memorable, budget-friendly look for this event would be a printed summer dress paired with sandals. You could also wear jeans or shorts paired with sneakers, a tank top and sunglasses. This ensemble is perfect if you want to keep your look casual.

For an outdoor wedding, you'll want to make sure that you're dressed appropriately for the weather and the occasion. An appropriate outfit for an outdoor wedding would be capris or pants with a blouse and wedges. This is versatile because it can easily be dressed up or down depending on what type of weather and location you're at.

Finally, for a black tie event, you'll need to invest in expensive formal wear from a department store like Nordstrom's or Saks Fifth Avenue. A good place to start when looking for formal attire is with dresses that are under $100! You can find one here: https://www.nordstromrack.com/shop/womens-dresses&filter=price%3A$90-$99&sort=normal


What your clothes say about you
Your clothes are an important part of your appearance and how you present yourself to the world. Your clothes say a lot about you, even if you're not trying to make a statement. For instance, if you wear a suit and tie, people will assume that you are successful and put together.



If you don't want to spend a lot of money on clothes that you'll wear once--whether it's for an event or just because--here are some tips on how to find your best look without breaking the bank!


Finding the right color scheme
One of the most important things when finding a dress is figuring out what color scheme you want. There are many different color schemes to choose from and each one gives off a different vibe. The best way to find out what color scheme you want is by going through your closet and figuring out which colors you gravitate towards.

When picking a dress, it's helpful to have a color palette in mind that will complement the event. You don't want the party to be all about your clothes! If you're not sure what colors make up your perfect palette, think about some of your favorite colors and see which ones work well together. It's best if they're complementary or adjacent on the color wheel (for example, green and orange) so they contrast nicely with one another.


Choosing a style that is right for you
The first step when you're buying clothes for an event is to decide what style of dress you want. There are many different styles, from casual and bohemian to classically chic, that will suit your personal taste. The style of the dress is typically determined by the type of event, so it's important to know what type of party you're attending before you choose a style. If you’re not sure where to start, look at one or two magazines in your home and find a few dresses that you like. Then, choose the one that appeals most to your tastes.


Budget and price point
options

Different events call for different outfits. When planning which dress to wear, think about the occasion and how important looking nice is to you. For example, if it's a casual event with your friends, then jeans and a t-shirt are perfect. If you want to look nicer and meet new people, invest in a dress that fits your body type well. But if you're going to be walking around mostly by yourself at a formal event like an awards show or graduation ceremony, then it might be better to try wearing a suit or dress.

If you're on a budget, there are plenty of options available that won't break the bank but will still look chic. You can find dresses at stores like Forever 21 and H&M that would work well for any occasion without breaking the bank. If you're willing to spend more money on clothing than usual, Nordstrom has high-quality pieces at affordable prices that can be worn again and again even after they go out of season.


Conclusion
When it comes to fashion and style, how you dress says a lot about who you are. The good news is that it doesn’t matter what your budget is, or what your price point is, there are always ways to dress up for any occasion.

The key is to find a look that suits you. The easiest way to do that is to try on a few different outfits and see which ones feel the most comfortable and you the most beautiful in. Once you find an outfit you love, wear that outfit over and over again!

And remember that every situation can be different, so don’t be afraid to try new things. You might find new styles you enjoy and never knew about before!
