Affordable Summer Dresses
I know it’s a little early to start thinking about summer dresses, but after pulling together this post about spring dresses for petites, I can’t help myself! At least there’s not all that much of a difference between spring and summer dresses, right? You can always pull a cardigan or jean jacket over a light summer dress to make it more appropriate for the cooler days!
I think it partially has to do with the fact that I refrained from buying new dresses when we weren’t going anywhere last year. But now that we are vaccinated and things are opening up again, I want all of them! Casual, fancy, flirty, you name it. The budgeter in me is trying to hold myself back. But let’s just say this: my carts are full ?
While it’s hard to get in the “hot summer” mindset quite yet, the 60 degree weather forecast this weekend makes me hopeful! I, for one, can’t wait to wear this dress every single day when warm weather is here to stay. This mini dress was also super popular in my spring dresses for petites roundup. And I love that you can dress it up with heels or down with flat sandals. Also, how cute is this polka dot maxi dress for date night?!
Here are a few more personal favorites:

Swing Dress
This cute swing dress reminds me so much of one I got YEARS ago that I still wear all the time!! In fact, I get asked for a link every time I wear it – so I am thrilled that I found a similar alternative – and it’s only $20!
Smocked Dress
This smocked mini dress is SO DARLING – and it comes in 5 different prints, too! I’m such a big fan of dresses like this because they’re just so easy to wear. Perfect for a Farmer’s Market, brunch, running errands, or even a casual date night on a patio with a jean jacket!


Tiered Dress
Instead of just a normal swing dress, why don’t you try out a tiered swing dress?! Sometimes these dresses can have way too much fabric that swallows you up, but this one looks like it has great proportions. I also love the sweet flutter sleeves. So cute!
Tropical Dress
Okay this dress technically isn’t under $75, but it is 40% off right now, which brings the price down to $60! And it comes in petite, too!! While the print has me dreaming of vacation, this would also be great for everyday errands, backyard BBQs, or even as a swim coverup!


T-Shirt Dress
I usually have a hard time with t-shirt dresses, but I love that this one comes in petite sizing (and tall, if you’re the opposite of me!)! It’s also super affordable at $39 + 40% off right now. Such a good deal! Choose from 6 different colors including this pretty coral.
Wrap Dress
I included this wrap dress in red when I posted about spring dresses for petites – and it ended up being the most popular option I included! I totally understand why too, wrap dresses are THE BEST. I love that this one has a little sleeve detail. And it’s only $58!

And if those don’t get you excited, here are more of my favorites from around the internet right now!!
