It's not every day that you can score four new dresses for less than $100. (Nordstrom Rack)(Nordstrom Rack)
Mother Nature may have a mind of her own, but I like to believe that I can will warmer weather into existence. Maybe if I pack away my winter coats and buy a few summer dresses, the temps will start to rise? Completely irrational? Maybe, but that's not stopping me from scoping out all the cute frocks on sale at Nordstrom Rack. Not only are there thousands of dresses to choose from, but I found a bunch on sale for $25 or less.
If you're invited to a formal event in the coming months, check out this stunning lace mesh maxi dress. We're throwing a fancy party for my uncle, who's turning 85 soon, and this pick would be perfect for the festivities. And anyone heading to the beach or pool this summer (i.e. me!) should snag this vibrant cover-up while it's under $20. With a price that compelling, you can afford to treat yourself to both colors.
Want more stylish options that won't put a dent in your monthly budget? I found even more affordable dresses — plus sandals, accessories and more — all under $25 at The Rack.
A Yahoo reader favorite, this top-selling maxi dress — up to 80% off in certain colors — doubles as a coverup for the beach or pool. Its flowy silhouette skims the body, so it's incredibly flattering. Choose from 15 colors.
How stunning is the bright, bold print on this Vince Camuto midi dress? It's perfect for a garden party or a nice dinner out with friends. Wear the sleeves on or off your shoulders and don't forget to add some glam earrings.
At more than $100 off, this dress is an undeniably good deal, but shoppers with larger busts should proceed with caution. One shopper with a 34F cup size noted it didn't fit or flatter her chest.
A better option for ladies with a fuller bosom? This eye-catching maxi that one shopper described as "very flattering for the chesty girls." It's available in nine prints in sizes XS-XL. Some petite shoppers did mention it being a bit long, but that's what heels are for, right?
Perfect for a bridal or baby shower, this sweet floral midi features a flattering elasticized waist and a not-too-revealing scoop neckline that one shopper said "fits well," further noting that it can be worn with "a regular bra" — a bonus in our eyes! The short sleeves are great for folks who don't want their arms on display or for locations (like church) that require some modesty.
Have a fancy event coming up? Why spend your monthly house payment on a black-tie gown when you can grab this stunner for just $23? It's available in four colors, including this forest green, black, cream, and navy, and all look way more expensive than they are. The dress is lined to the knee, so you don't have to worry about it being see-through. Made of nylon and spandex, it's not machine-washable, but it can be hand-washed.
The beauty of this cover-up is that no one will know it's a cover-up. It looks so much like a dress that when you're strolling the boardwalk or having a beachside bite, everyone will just think you're the best-dressed babe in sight. A smocked bodice makes this ultra-flattering, and if you don't love the color, this is also available in a vibrant blue and black print.
Pastels and brights aren't for everyone. If your personal style leans more muted than showy, check out this sophisticated and chic navy floral-print maxi. It's light, flowy, and the adjustable spaghetti straps make it ideal for hot summer months. It's machine-washable and fully lined.
Hot pink Crocs for 60% off? How can you resist? The bouncy, springy kicks are a great pick for the summer months because they'll keep your feet cooler than sneakers and won't get ruined if they get wet. All sizes from 4-11 are currently available, but probably not for long.
OK, so you don't need another white tee? But what about a butter yellow one that's totally on trend? This crewneck beauty is super sweet with a pretty floral print and flattering side-tie detail. Pair it with jean shorts, linen pants or a midi skirt this season.
New pajamas are the summer treat you didn't know you needed, and there is something so luxurious about sleeping in a matching set. This pick is great because it's made from cotton, so it'll be breathable on hot summer nights when your AC is on the fritz. It's available in sizes S-XL and has pockets (always a bonus).
Take a break from your go-to black bag and switch things up for the season with this polished off-white purse. The inside is spacious and lined, with plenty of room for essentials and the strap can be adjusted to two lengths.
Everyone needs a simple sandal that looks good with every outfit, and this "cute and classy"(as one fan put it) Dolce Vita steal fits the bill. A pair of these would add a chic touch to dressed-down jeans and a tee, sure. But as another review noted, these lovelies can also punch up. "I wore these at a wedding and loved the look, sizing and comfort." While you're waiting for your pair to arrive, head to the salon for a bright summer pedi — you deserve it.
