Yes make sure your STATICFILES_DIRS setting is pointing to the exact
location you want to put them in, and then make sure all of the needed
files are indeed being collected by manage.py collectstatic.
after that, assuming your static_url is set to /static/, you should have no
problems referencing them, just make sure that you include the directory
name in the url as well(e.g. localhost:8000/static/styles/style.css).
I usually setup my staticfiles_dirs to go into project/project/staticdump,
just make sure you're letting django do all of the collection and you
aren't placing files in STATIC_ROOT yourself.
