Forever 21 Pick of the Day: Pleated Hip Tank Dress, $19.80

by

What can be more characteristic of summer than taking a leisurely stroll along the beach in a summer frock, basking in the sun and exchanging ‘first crush’ stories? To Fashion Pulse Daily, the frock is what we most care about, of course, but the rest is a fun of ton too!  If you’re not into the floral explosion trend or have already overloaded your closet with roses, tropical leaves and daffodils, why not make your next purchase this Pleated Hip Tank Dress, $19.80? It might not be reminiscent of Tahiti, but it is certainly just as apposite for the vivacity of the season. Yes, vivacity – as well as sophistication, which the pleated accents are sure to add to your look. The elastic waistband accentuates your silhouette so that you may be as hot as the weather. Excuse my corniness in using this phrase (a word of advice, dudes: never use that as a pick-up line), but, hey, it speaks some truth.

The Budget Stylista: Maxi Dresses

by

Via our friends at CollegeCandy.com:

The Maxi dress is a summer must-have essential. You can roll out of bed and throw it on with flip flops for an outside brunch. You can throw on a pair of wedges or heels and dress it up for a night out. You can dress it up for a night out, then roll out of (a cute man’s) bed and throw it on for brunch with said cute man without it being SO blatantly obvious that you were wearing the same exact thing last night.  The walk of shame is practically eliminated in this dazzling dress.

Like I said- summer must-have. Essential.

And with so many out there, there is no way to not find one to flatter your body. Thicker straps for those of us who must wear a bra for fear that our boobs will drag on the floor without one; a loud print for those of us who want to give ourselves a bit more shape.  No matter your height, weight or proportions, there is a Maxi dress out there for you. Sort of like how Maxi pads come in different styles, only cuter and less like a diaper.

And lucky for you, huge summer trend means huge possibility of finding a dress that doesn’t make a dent in your budget, but still leaves everyone asking you where on earth you found that super cute piece. (Click on the dresses to get all the deets.)
