Discount Store Feature: Ross Dress for Less



My love affair with Ross began when I was a freshman in college. I would go to Ross to purchase babydoll tees with cartoon characters on them. Don't judge, it was the mid 1990's, after all! When I moved back to Jacksonville, we didn't have any Ross locations nearby. I never saw them in Chicago either. Luckily, we finally got our own locations! So my love affair was reignited.

I've bought all sorts of items at Ross. From kitchen supplies to pillowcases to shoes, Ross has a little bit of everything. However, I think they really shine in their dress department. I've seen everything from Maggy London to Calvin Klein. I've also discovered many department store brands like In Studio, Tiana B and more. The prices are typically between $14.99 to $39.99, however I must admit that you'll find me more in the $14.99 range.

I pulled together some of my favorite dress finds from Ross. These aren't all of them! I have a wonderful black and white Calvin Klein dress that I wore to a wedding last month. I didn't take a good picture though.



I know that Sarah at Classroom Chic and Taylor of It's My Cardi share my love of Ross. What about you?

Splurge vs. Steal

The Tory Burch Thora's are very cute. I've heard they aren't too comfortable though. So when I found a "steal" pair at TJ Maxx that were actually comfy? I had to snatch them up! The rubber sole was critical to the comfy factor!


Tory Burch Thoras: $115


Report, TJ Maxx: $20
