The $30 Dress Every Girl Needs This Summer

Good morning, friends! I’m really excited about this fun post today. Because if you’re anything like me, the gloomy weather has been a little hard to shake. I think part of that also has something to do with the sad news about Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain last week. Something I’m still processing a little bit. And while this post is most certainly not about that because I am no expert on the subject of depression. I will say that it’s made me notice how I interact with everyone in my life, and think about what I can do better.

That, and I am incredibly inspired by Adam, who is spending 6 days with foster kids this week. In the wake of two widely influential people feeling like they shouldn’t be here, I’m so freaking proud of him for taking action and spending time with these kids to remind them that they are loved and they matter. ❤️

Shop the outfit:

Dress: c/o Asos (comes in regular sizing and tons of other colors!) | Belt: Halogen (love this bow belt, too!) | Bag: c/o Holly & Tanager | Shoes: J.Crew (similar from J.Crew Factory!)

Now I know that it’s quite trivial to switch from that intro paragraph over to a cute dress. But when you don’t get to see or speak to your boyfriend all week, you think about what you might wear when he gets back! At least I do. ? Luckily, not only is this off the shoulder polka dot dress ADORABLE, the price tag cannot be beat. At $29, you can feel great on a date night – and still have some cash to save or donate!

 If you’re not a polka dot gal, don’t worry! This dress also comes in red, mint, black, stripes, etc. Seriously anything you could want! AND it comes in regular, petite, and tall sizing! I added a belt and heels to elevate the look a little, but you could also ditch those, grab some sandals and wear it over your swimsuit to the beach. Love versatile little dresses like this.

Would you get this off the shoulder polka dot dress?

Or would you ditch the dots and go for a solid color instead? I always think it’s fun when a dress comes in multiple colors/patterns, because we all gravitate towards something different!
