    Today I’m sharing summer dresses under $100. As the summer wears on and the temperature gets hotter, I cannot stand to put anything on my body other than dresses! I love that I can just throw on a breezy dress and look pulled together while staying cool. With 4th of July right around the corner, retailers will start getting some fall items in stock. That means I don’t want to spend much more on summer clothing this year. To get us through the rest of summer, I’ve rounded up summer dresses under $100!

    White Dresses for Summer

    white summer dresses

    I love a crisp, white dress for summer. White cotton and linen not only look cool, they actually do a great job of keeping you cool all summer long. We’ve had a beautiful spring and as we get closer to summer, temperatures are on the rise. Add in the fact that vaccines continue to roll out and the pandemic is coming to an end, and I am ready to shop! I can’t wait to sit on a patio in the sun with some girlfriends and a cold glass of white wine. While wearing a fabulous frock, of course. For the last few weeks I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect white summer dress. Preferably linen or cotton, an easy “throw-on-and-go” silhouette, and MUST have pockets. Bonus points if it can be dressed up or down, or double as a swim coverup. I also want it to have some type of interesting detail, such as a ruffle, tie strap, or corseting. I think I’ve finally found it! Below I’ve rounded up my favorite white dresses for summer. Which style do you think I picked?!

    10 Best Affordable Sweater Dresses for Fall

    Best Affordable Sweater Dresses for Fall
    Shop the look: Dress / Hat / Boots

    Today I’m rounding up the 10 best affordable sweater dresses for fall! One of my favorite styles to wear each fall is a sweater dress. I love how soft and cozy I feel in a sweater dress! Sweater dresses are also so easy to dress up or down. You can keep the look casual with a sneaker or flat boot or dress it up with heels or booties.

    Sweater dresses are also a perfect pick for holiday dressing. A cozy sweater dress with a turtleneck is perfect with tall boots and tights. A midi style looks great with ankle boots. I’m loving all of the sweater dress styles with puff sleeves. These styles look perfect with heels for an elegant date night!

    Last year I looked everywhere for the perfect cream sweater dress. This year I finally found it! Bonus, it’s under $50 and I found lots of other cute styles, all under $100! Here are the 10 best affordable sweater dresses for fall!

    My Favorite Leopard Pieces

    Outfit details: Dress, sunglasses, sandals, bag. Get 50% off my bag or any purchase of $300 or more with code LAURENHANSEN

    As we inch closer to fall, I like to start transitioning my wardrobe to pieces I can wear now and later. One way I like to do that is by incorporating fall prints into wear now silhouettes. Leopard print is always one of my favorites for fall! Here I mixed leopard prints in different scales. But, there are so many ways to wear it! I really treat leopard print like a neutral. Of course you can always wear it with black or tan. But, I also think it adds a fun pop with a solid color, or even paired with stripes! Below I’ve rounded up some of my favorite leopard pieces to wear now and into fall!

    The Summer of the House Dress

    the summer of the house dress

    A few weeks ago I read an article about the return of the house dress. I am totally on board for this trend! I love throwing on an easy breezy dress in the summer. Sometimes someone will say something about me being dressed up and I’m like, “I literally put on one item of clothing!” Ideally a house dress is cool, flowy, and has POCKETS! Comfy and cool enough to nap in while being put together enough for a walk around the block. Here I’ve rounded up ten of my current favorite house dresses!
