Cutest Summer Dresses under $50

Cutest Summer Dresses under $50 - Loving these adorable steals for an affordable price. Perfect for the rest of Summer!

Hi everyone! I’ve rounded up tons of new favorite summer dresses to kick off July properly – ALL under $50. Many are under $30 if you can believe it! There are still so many great finds to be had. So great!
I love snagging a few new summer dresses in July to mix up my wardrobe and to provide some variety. Many of these can be worn for work or play. So important for me. Versatility is key.

I found quite a few different styles – mini, midi, and maxi dress favorites & linked them all below…

The dresses are from a combination of my favorite retailers such as Nordstrom Rack, Amazon, Nordstrom, Express and more! All are sourced to help make shopping easier for you. I also tried to find a variety of options for different body types and mixed up the styles because let’s face it..
not every style is for everyone! :)

Let me know below which dress is your favorite!

xo,
Kristy

Having the best time in DC and the cherry on top was getting a free upgrade to the John F Kennedy suite at the Willard Hotel❤️ 🙌🏼 The suite is a huge 1800 sq feet with a large oval sitting room, 2 bathrooms, a coffee room and views of the Washington monument. We were so excited and surprised that they gave it to us.. I guess it doesn’t hurt to ask for a room change. We had double beds and asked if we could switch to a king bed and this is what they gave us. 😍 Lesson of the day.. it never hurts to ask.
A few fun facts about the Willard Hotel - Abraham Lincoln stayed here for 10 days prior to his inauguration, in 1869 it was in the Willard lobby that Ulysses S Grant popularized the term lobbyist because he detested the people who hung out in the lobby of the hotel doing self promotion, VP Calvin Coolidge lived at the Willard Hotel for a few months after President Harding died so Harding’s wife would have time to make arrangements for herself.. As a result the flag was raised outside the hotel to signify he (as President) lived here. 💫

Sharing 2 looks for Valentine’s Day! ❤️ The 1st dress is more of a salmon red (I’m wearing an XS) and the 2nd is more of a rust red (I’m wearing a S) The colors allow you to wear these dresses year around. Love that! 😍
