One of my favourite outfits in summer is the everyday dress. I love that I can chuck the dress on and be ready in minutes. I have a big selection of everyday dresses that I rotate in my wardrobe, but it’s only been recently that I have realized I don’t wear them often enough. I often revert to some sort of tee and short combo because I know I will be on the floor playing with my girls, but on the days we head out to the shops or meet up with other mummy friends, the dress will always be my first choice in outfit.
When I purchase an everyday dress, I don’t spend more than $100 simply because it’s going to be worn everyday, and I prefer to spend more on evening or special occasion dresses.
While I was researching some dresses for a different blog post, I compiled a collage of everyday summer dresses under $100.
1. French Connection Stripe SS Dress $99.95
2. Sunny Girl Office to Bar Dress $59
3. Sunny Girl Tie Dress $59
4. Dotti Love the Boat Maxi Dress $79.95
5. Adrift Oracle Lucy Dress in Orange $99.95
6. One Honey Boutique Lucy Shirt Dress $49
7. ASOS Shift Dress in Mono Stripe $36
8. Alessi Floral Dress $79.95
9. Sunny Girl Border Dress $55
There is nothing much more to add except to buy your everyday dresses well. For a versatile piece, buy a button or zip down dress that can be worn open with pants as a trench or vest. Number 6 would be perfect for this type of outfit.
Also, sometimes it’s hard to tell on the model, but check the hem of your chosen dress to ensure you will be comfortable with the length. Nothing worse than buying an everyday dress that stays in your wardrobe because it’s too short.
