12 SPRING DRESSES UNDER $300

There’s nothing like a new season to inspire a wardrobe refresh. While I’ve been making some big edits throughout my entire closet, it’s my dresses to which I’m dedicating the most attention. The truth is, dresses are my most-worn item of clothing. Though I love separates, they require more brain power while, dresses, on the other hand, are quick and make getting dressed feel easy.

Dresses are pretty much my daily uniform during the months of March through September, and I could a use a few new additions to the lineup. There’s certainly no shortage of great options to shop – from LWDs and easy day dresses like this puff-sleeve number to beach-ready midis and party-perfect numbers that are just waiting for a dance floor. I’ve put together a hit list for you and I’ve even taken one step further: every single dress here rings in at $300 or less (see: this one for $84.). Happy shopping.

SIGNIFICANT OTHER SALVADOR FLORAL DRESS

Dress this one or down. I love it for dinner by the beach or – with the right pair of heels and some jewelry – it would fit right in at a wedding.

REFORMATION GITANE SMOCKED LINEN MIDI DRESS

Reformation’s linen midi was made for spring-summer dinners al fresco and celebratory gatherings. The puff sleeves add a feminine touch.

SHOP

MEADOWS BOSTON DRESS

The definition of a day dress. The petite floral pattern adds a charming touch to this midi.

STELLA NOVA AGGIS MY PUFF SLEEVE DRESS

A collared neck and a short hemline make for a perfect combination here. I love the puff-sleeve detail. I would wear this blue mini with a simple sandal or a pair of ballet flats.

COS GATHERED MIDI DRESS

I ordered this one last week and happy to report it’s just as good as I thought it would be. The slim-fit cotton midi dress is the ultimate in versatility and – big bonus! – rings it under $150.

FARM RIO SOLID BLOUSIN SLEEVE CUTOUT DRESS

Gorgeous in green! This midi dress comes in several colors (pink, too!) but this one is my favorite by far. Bonus: the cinched waist is super flattering.

REFORMATION TAGIATELLE FLORAL LINEN DRESS

I wish I had ordered this one in time for Easter weekend (right?) but it’s sure to get plenty of wear over the next few months. I love the square neckline!

SHOP

SIGNIFICANT OTHER ALANNA DRESS

Currently in my cart! I’m planning to wear this one at the beach and then right around two weeks later and don it for patio luncheon.

SHOP

STAUD IDA DRESS

The best LWD for a hot summer’s day. This cotton poplin is oh-so lightweight but not see-through. That, in my opinion, is the ultimate combination for a Texas summer.

SHOP

MANGO PRINTED CUT-OUT DETAIL DRESS

This floor-grazing dress is the kind of option that works for a patio dinner with friends or as wedding-guest attire. If you’re shooting for the latter, add a pair of bright pink heels.

SHOP

ANTHROPOLOGIE SOMERSET MAXI DRESS

This Anthropologie dress comes in over 10 colors! Good thing, too, because it has the kind of throw-on-and-go wearability that will make you want more than one.
