There are very few things I love more than a good dress. I love how comfortable they are and how a great sundress look really only takes five minutes to put together. You can style a dress with heels, sneakers, or sandals, and it can be worn day or night. I'm anticipating this year being one filled with maxi/midi hemlines, but who can resist a good minidress for summer?
Whether you're packing for a vacation, getting ready for an event, or going out to dinner, a dress is a closet essential for the warm-weather months. While looking for new dresses to add to my wardrobe, I decided that I don't want to break the bank. Luckily, I've found picks under $100 that I absolutely adore. The summer/spring season is such a busy time for my event calendar, so a little dress haul was definitely needed.
