From Family Dollar to Fancy: My $5 Fashion Find for Valentines (Budget + Bougie)
Looking for stylish yet budget-friendly Valentine’s Day outfit ideas? You don’t have to break the bank to look fabulous with my frugal fashion tips! Here’s how I styled a $5 shirt into a dress from the Family Dollar Store — to wear as an affordable Valentine’s Day outfit idea. Whether you’re shopping for a cheap Valentine’s Day outfit or simply looking for budget fashion ideas, this look is the perfect blend of stylish on a budget. Pairing my designer Ugg boots along with a budget dress, I’m proving that you can look fabulous without spending a fortune. Ready to get inspired with my little holiday hacks that will help you save money? Let’s dive into my budget-friendly outfit transformation!
WATCH behind the scenes: It’s Valentine’s Day! I was trying to get a really cute picture of the dress I have on and if you’ve never seen me with makeup on, here you go!
My $5 Shirt Dress (from Family Dollar)!
I got my dress at the Family Dollar Dollar Tree (out at our lake house near our RV) but It’s actually not a dress! This was a shirt that I got for five bucks and turned into a $5 dress! It’s actually an extra large shirt, but you could get this shirt in a smaller size. I just like flowy and big dresses, shirts, etc… So, I’m going to wear it as a dress for us to go out for Valentine’s Day!
And then, I had a little slit. That I was going to wear under it (I had in my closet already)

Ugg My $$$ Boots!
To Pair with my $5 Dress, I have these really cute Ugg boots that NVington got me when we were in Las Vegas several years ago! I love, love, love these boots and I only put them on for special occasions!
I was just thinking when I was showing you my boots (this is horrible) — this dress is only five dollars. But the boots I’m wearing with it were super expensive boots! $$$ The Custom Ugg boots that I have on are made with “Swarovski crystals” and are probably $600 I think he told me.
I have no idea where he got them. I just know that he got them for me for Christmas one year and they were Custom Ordered maybe Handmade from Australia 🤷♀️
The boots: they look very plain in the front. But, when you’re walking away, it’s like you hit them from the back. They’re really cute from the backside — You know what I’m saying?

My Final Look & Thoughts…
This is my Valentine’s Day dress. Get up (i.e. $5 Dollar Shirt Dress + $$$ Ugg Boots!)
On a Side Note: I thought about if I wanted to dry my hair or not. I’m not sure. I kind of like it, just when it dries a little wavy and weird. But we’ll see how I decide to do it. I’m not getting too done up at 7am. I need to just probably fluff my hair a little bit. But it’s still wet. NVington was in the shower so I was trying to show you all this beforehand. I was just trying to hurry up and get ready plus document this blog + vlog!

Final Thoughts…
It’s what I’m gonna wear out to breakfast, is this shirt but as a dress that I got for $5 at the Family Dollar Store! Part of my $5 finds and dollar deals. This is really what I wear and probably strange to you. I just wanted to show you.

About My Vera Bradley Sling BackPack “Purse”
One last thing I wanted to mention was the final look before heading out on our Valentine’s Day Date and my purse (sling backpack) which is by Vera Bradley one of my Favorite Brands! It already had a little red and black in the color scheme — also pairing nicely with my Valentine’s Day Shirt Dress Idea!
