I’ve really been into the cold shoulder/off-the-shoulder trend as of late, and this dress is yet another testament to my love of it for summer. Enter this adorable powder blue skater dress, that comes in at under $44!

My dress came from a new-to-me website, Missguided. I actually got to preview some of their latest designers back at #rStheCon, and I snagged this dress off their site when I got home.

I’m not going to lie, when the price point is under $50 on a dress or top, I am a little skeptical to purchase. Frankly, I’ve had more bad experiences than positive ones of ill-fitting pieces and not so great fabric quality arriving to my doorstep.

However, this cold shoulder skater dress was a pleasant surprise. It’s constructed nicely and the fabric is wearable. Yes, it does wrinkle a bit, but for the price, the quality is definitely there.

Paired with my go-to tassel sandals, I’ll definitely be wearing this dress for date night or engagement festivities to come, this summer. See my most recent cold shoulder looks lately on the blog, here and here.

Hope y’all had a great holiday weekend!
