Summer has finally arrived, which means you’ll find me in light, casual dresses almost every day for the foreseeable future. Whether I’m heading to work or out to brunch with friends, I always find myself reaching for an easy look, usually paired with these slides (on repeat for me lately!) plus a quick swipe of lipstick and a few coats of mascara. I’m always on the hunt for bright new pieces to add to my ever-growing collection, but staying within budget is key. This summer, I’m looking at fun patterns, bold colors and off-the-shoulder pieces, in particular. Every piece in this roundup of affordable summer dresses is under $100, and half of them are even more budget-friendly at under $50 (just click any link marked with a star)! Find a new favorite and then tell us, how do you style a daytime dress?
