Confession: I have a bit of a shopping problem, especially when it comes to dresses. Even though my closet is filled with more than enough options, I somehow can’t resist the urge to expand my wardrobe. Every time I tell myself I’m going to stop purchasing new pieces, I find a frock I just have to have. I’m like Pavlov’s dogs, salivating every time I hear a notification that a package has been delivered. Retail therapy is real, people!
Now that July is here, I’m fully embracing summer style. And once the weather gets this warm, all I want to wear is dresses! Pants make me feel way too sticky and sweaty on a hot, humid day. Even if dresses aren’t typically your taste, there are many different silhouettes out there that don’t feel too feminine or formal. As a tomboy at heart, I love rocking sneakers with dresses for a casual approach.
Below are nine breezy frocks from Nordstrom that will keep you cool while looking even cooler! All of these frocks are under $150 — affordable and adorable. Take these dresses to a beach vacation, barbecue and beyond!
